Pitcher

back to work slowly grinding away on the opponent with no doubt that we would end up on top and we would repeatedly do it throughout the season. In baseball it is easy as a pitcher to accidentally walk a batter. In that moment leaders are able to not get flustered but focus on the next batter. It is profound idea that a pitcher could be totally calm with only 1 out and the bases loaded as he faces the next batter. Leaders don’t get too excited when something goes right or down when something…

One of the main differences, is the pitching style. The pitchers in softball use the underhand, windmill pitch, and in baseball, they pitch overhand. In fast pitch, girls pitch underhand because they have more power in their lower body, and that pitching style allows them to use their strength. The boys’ strength…

Vermeer’s increased attention to line and size is similarly evident in Woman in Blue Reading a Letter. This painting depicts a young woman entranced by a letter, presumably from her lover. She wears a blue coat and stands beside a table. A chair is pulled out from the table; perhaps it is the woman’s seat. Behind her, a large map of the Netherlands hangs on the wall. Interestingly, the map is based on a known map and also appears in Vermeer’s painting, Officer and Laughing Girl. Despite the…

Do you see a glass as half empty, or half full? This rhetorical question has been used to separate optimists and pessimists for centuries, but, how far does it actually go? How can such a simple attribute as seeing how much water is in a glass (or not) really categorize your way of thinking? The novel “Of Mice and Men” by author John Steinbeck explores the struggles of migrant workers in the 1930’s and is laced with the themes and motifs of loneliness, friendship, hopes for a brighter future,…

watch the ball soar through the air. I got a double which puts my team into great position. All we need is one 1 run to win and we are within striking distance. 1 out, Ya'akov up to bat. The fastball was no surprise to him, but the pitcher made a tremendous play. The pitcher throws it to first base, meanwhile I’m bolting to 3rd base. My base coach Mendel tells me to stay, but just like the movie Unstoppable, I was a freight train that could not be brought to a halt. As I’m pounding my way to the…

A long time ago on the dusty baseball diamonds with beautiful green grass in the overlooking outfield with the sound of roaring cheering fans showing team and city pride built the legends of “slammin” Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs and Mark Mcgwire of the St. Louis Cardinals. In the summer of 1998, the two sluggers engaged in what is the most spectacular display of offense in the modern era of the game of baseball” since Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle were teammates and tried to go after Babe…

Carnivorous plants are, however, are a special case. Just the thought of knowing that plants of all things can eat animals is mind blowing! It completely defies their very nature. For that reason, they have crept their way into the media industry. Even though there exists no carnivorous plant that can actually kill a human,…

SOL is a great example. You can study for months and you will ace it. But, say you were playing baseball and you said that you could hit a longer home run than Aaron Judge, one of the best home-run hitters in the league, while Luis Severino, star pitcher for the New York Yankees was pitching.
