Did you find the SAME definition in your dictionary?
He maintained a steadfast adherence to the same form.
A simple search of defintion of consistent reveals the following.
con·sis·tent [ kən sÃ*stənt ]
adjective
Definitions:
1. coherent: reasonably or logically harmonious
The evidence is consistent with the defendant's statement.
Their accounts of the incident just aren't consistent.
2. reliable: able to maintain a particular standard or repeat a particular task with minimal variation
He's one of the most consistent hitters in the league.
3. NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS THREAD
4. logic free of contradiction: containing no provable contradiction
Let's see together:
1. See coherent or harmonious: kinda reminds me of continuous fluid-like motion or frequency, like habitual
2. See reliable: maintain standard w/ minimal variation
Did you happen to see what they said about HITTERS? I wonder if the same thing is true about good pitchers? Can't be cause SAump said so, could it?
3) A math thing: You wouldn't understand.
4) NO contradiction: Have I not maintained my point of view all along? I would say so. It was NOT because I love to argue the same identical thing over and over. It was because I consistently made the point using very different words. The words which others have taken out of CONTEXT are NOT CONSISTENT with my original statements.
I said he must be consistent, whatever form he chooses to use (ala Fernando's 3/4 back twist or the underhanded ankle guy). I suppose everybody thought I said pitchers must have the same motion for 3/4 pitch or underhand pitch. But again, I never said that because it is impossible Toodles. See you want me to say that a pitcher must maintain the same form (100%) with absolutely NO variation. But I already said each pitcher may have his own quirks. I also pointed out how pitchers with very different pitching styles are still consistently LEGAL.
SO don't be too disappointed if I don't let the ambidextrous RHP become a LHP in the same half-inning, by rule.
Later Toodles....
