I really like hearing folks talk that way.

By the way, my son Josh, pitched a complete game one-hitter, and went 2-4 with a booming double to the gap in right on a 2-2 curve. He pitches in a AA over 18 league. Very cool.

Hey Jeff
Love the post!

One of my recent clients went to bat with a thrower instead of a pitcher in their first game year ago (back while I was playing College ball), and managed to turn what should have been a home run into, at best, a ground rule double. The market compensated for the ‘less than great’ buy, but going forward they’re only dealing with pitchers who know how to paint the right corner, at the right time.

Brian – thanks.

Boomers’ sense of security is the silent retirement saboteur.

Disrupting hitters’ timing is akin to disrupting baby boomers’ sense of false security.

You do the latter as well as Koufax.

Of course, the goal is entirely different.
