Pitcher - backward set position

[Jerry]

JM,
You're absolutely right. I keep forgetting that J/R has an entire interpretation book. In there, the use the term "Stretch" to mean the "Set" Position. Furthermore, the "Set" is only that portion of the "Stretch" that refers to the momentary delay before delivering the pitch. My bad.

it's also my understanding that J/R is not the official interp book...the PBUC manual is the official interp book...at least that's what Palermo told me last summer...

Interesting seeing as how Palermo is listed as a member of The Joint Committee on Training found in the MLBUM. I'd have thought he'd plug the MLBUM first.

not sure BigUmp...I can't read his mind...all I know is that while he was observing the crew that contained Jeff Nelson last year when the Bo Sox played Kansas City in August 2006, I asked him about J/R, he knew about it, then proceeded to pull the "blue book" out of his bag while telling me that this is the official interp book, then we proceeded to talk baseball for 45 minutes...one of the coolest things ever...he took time out of his day to not only be bothered by a complete stranger, but to have the patience to talk with me about baseball and tens of other people who swung by to say hi...what a great guy...

You can buy a PBUC. You can't buy a MLBUM.
