Post #180,683 by ChrisR 10/23/04 10:23:02 PM Reply	Love knuckle-ballers Used to go watch Charlie Hough all the time. But the games are always strange - either every batter is confused with lots of ground ball outs and double plays. Or lots of walks and no movement. Saw the stat that Wakefield was the first knucle ball starter in the world series in a long long while. Not to mention that he's fairly young as far as knuckle ballers go.

A: "I usually just wait until it stops rolling, run back and pick it up." Knuckle ball pitchers tend to last a long time, because they don't tear up their elbows and shoulders with curves and sliders. Hough, Neikro, etc. Wakefield is 38 but still young for a knuckler. -drl

They're a cornered rat, and quite frankly, I think they have rabies to boot. I'd rather not get too close to them.
