No, I understand the discussion.
My point is that I believe the movement of a knuckleball cannot be predicted because there are too many variables.
If that is true then I humbly submit that perhaps a 100 mph fastball can't always be predicted because of variables not accounted for.
Is it possible that whatever conditions enable a 65 mph knuckler to rise 3-4 inches could also help a 100 mph 4 seamer with backspin rise a 1/2".
I'm no scientist, but it doesn't seem out of the question.
You are right on one account
I am new to the group and look forward to having fun discussing and learning more about the rules, as well as debating subjects like these.
In the long run I don't care if a ball goes up, down or around, I'm just looking for strikes.
