C'mon, Tee..........I thought you knew baseball.........
Let's look at the fine print you must have missed........
    A looping, slow, lazy curve coming in to the batter head level.
    Batter is a "deer in the headlights".

Give this guy an Oscar if he fooled you........
He's likely staying in the box with me.

"Deer in headlights" don't occur on looping, slow, lazy curves.
They typically occur on inside fastballs where the batter can't decide to move in or move out in order to avoid the pitch.

This hitter was probably laughing all the way to the dugout going for a drink after the pitch was thrown and before it arrived.


Just my opinion,
