OOPS! Sorry. ;-)

Could you explain a bit more about starting at the knee and finishing at the knee?

I'm trying to picture it but having difficulty.

That's about the best way I can explain it. It's a pitch that starts down in the zone and stays down in the zone and if you're lazy, you'll give up on it and ball it. This is a strike, unlike that pitch caught at the ankles.

Now that I can picture and understand. Thanx!

I sure hope you guys understand that I’m not just doin’ this rile anyone. I’m truly interested in finding out why things work the way they do, and its exchanges like this thread that help do that. I’ve just never been one of those guys who takes, "IT IS WHAT IT IS" for an answer, without some kind of reasonable explanation.

Along these same lines, if anyone’s ever had the dubious pleasure of being “graded” by QuesTec”, I’d sure like to know exactly what the purpose of the thing is, and what exactly it is that you see when you throw the DVD in the player.

I’d also be curious to know how it would “score” one of those pitches that seems to be bringing out such angst. I.e., a pitch that crosses the zone at the bottom and front of the plate, but hits the dirt in front of the C.
