Good post junebug....agreed many have a caricatured view of what hitting "looks like" and how it "works"...as if somehow the hitter don't pivot....I will always remember your quote..."Is it easier to push a cannon ball that is still or one that is rolling?" what alignments do you focus on when determining if a player may be hitting vs. swinging?
Before the mass confusion that started in the 7th edition, 6-H-0 was "Imperatives". Understanding the possible confusion with the 3 Imperatives, the name should have been changed. But, the information therein is great.
I've been misssin the grease man! How have you been?
