I played baseball until 8th grade then went with football. When I was in my twenties someone took me to a batting cage you could set at 70-100mph.
Now when I was in 8th grade I was one of better players. But this - Holy Crap. At 90 mph I would have to start swinging before the ball dropped in the machine - and then I just heard the thud behind me and I had no idea if I was ahead behind above below. No idea. At football I was All State WR so I have hand / eye. But this is different.
So I understand kind of what you baseball players are talking about - but know there is so much the we non players don't realize is even going on in the chess match.
I agree we couldn't lay off the high heat.
But we were still always in the game. I would never name a Tiger competitor because this team was a pleasure to watch all year - but if one of several guys just gets 1 hit in the gap. We are on our way.
I think it can be as simple as slumps at the wrong time.
Wanted to jump in thread and congratulate and thank the players for an outstanding year. Many a hair raising moment this year. Congrats on Omaha and Good Luck to 2014 Tigers as well as those moving on.
