Pitcher

Hunter Eikenberry “Walkoff” It was going to be a hard day, and it was a big day. Everyone was happy about today. My family and I woke up in the morning feeling great. We went down into the lobby of our hotel to get some breakfast. Then we went to the baseball field where I was playing in the championship. We were playing solid and I was having a good game going three for three with one home run. We felt confident because we were the home team which meant we had the last…

bullpen who has been pitching very well, in particular Andrew Miller. They did have to make a tough decision when giving Trevor Bauer the ball to start. The Cubs were a very good hitting team during the Regular Season especially when seeing the same pitcher twice. Bauer pitched a .671 OPS the first, and .675 OPS the second time through the order. He pitched a solid game but it was a moot point as the offense just could beat the Cubs pitching staff. Francona changed his game plan for this game…

Sixty miles per hour is the speed at which the average softball player throws the ball; so I guess you could say I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I believe I was exactly where I was supposed to be. You know how some people say there was a certain moment that changed their life completely? Well, this was that moment for me, and it all was caused by a miscommunication. Miscommunications happen all of the time, but with a softball that isn't actually soft, and someone standing only…

She explains that a pitcher can only be referred to as a pitcher because that is what it is, just as Perpetua can only be called a Christian because that is what she is. Perpetua cannot identify as a Roman, soly a Christian, and because that is what she is Perpetua is put to death (Perpetua’s…

victory and send us home. We had been battling the Harvard Westlake Werewolves for 6 grueling innings. A pitcher's duel to say the least, as Division I bound Kyle Nicol had thrown a shutout up until this point. Unfortunately for us, so had their ace pitcher, McCabe Slye. All of our hard work came down to this point. We came into this tournament against all odds. Our entire starting lineup consisted entirely of rookies, we had not a single returning starting player. John Burroughs was not…

Girls showing their strengths Benjamin Franklin once said, ¨You can do anything you set your mind to.¨ Well in this case that is exactly what these three strong courageous women thought. One woman named Jen Welter wouldn´t let the fact that there has only ever been male football coaches drag her down. According to press, Welter will be helping coach the linebackers for the Cardinals. Jen will only be there for the first four preseason games but this marks another big barrier for women in…

it reaches home plate. Now the farther away the pitcher is the more the ball will have to drop because curveballs do most of their curving in the last quarter of their trip. Considering that it takes less time for the ball to travel those last 15 feet (about 1/6 of a second) than it takes for the batter to swing the bat (about 1/5 of a second), hitters must begin their swings before the ball has started to show much curve. Now because if the pitcher has a farther distance from the plate that…

missing assignments. Coach has been putting a lot of pressure on me to get my grades up because I’m close to being ineligible. During first hour I couldn’t stop thinking about the game. I was getting nervous for the game. Rockford had both starting pitchers from last year returning, and one of them can throw up to 90…

played during the Regular Season. Fielding errors, shaky pitching and bad at-bats have hindered the Cubs and put them in the deficit they are now in. Game 5 had a slightly different flavor with very strong performances from starting pitcher Jon Lester, relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr., and closer Aroldis Chapman the Cubs. Chapman was particularly crucial to the Cubs victory, notching eight outs after coming in the seventh with a man on second. Credit must be given to the pitching staff as they…
