team winning matter
The only thing that matters is when the team wins.
want use strikes
John Wetteland had a very good curveball. He threw it for a strike, too, in any count, any situation. But, he really didnt use it much. He didnt want to throw it. He wanted to throw fastball-slider.
swings missing straight-up
Hideki Irabu had a very good curveball. Just a straight up and down, swing-and-miss curveball.
