Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is eighty percent of being a successful hitter. The other twenty percent is just execution.
That's going to be left up to the commissioner and the rules committee.
That's going to be left up to the commissioner and the rules committee. They would probably have to go back and look at some of those things that happened.
I want to applaud the commissioner, and I also just want to make sure that whatever we do, we make sure that we clean up baseball.
I hope that these kids are given an opportunity to play, because whatever happened before, they had nothing to do with it. I just hope they have an opportunity to compete. They really deserve to. They have some great ballplayers in Cuba.
