****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
Take a look at this, sirs. One more reason to not trust the evil empire. Hopefully the Orioles put this into their arsenal. hahahaha, I used arsenal and Orioles in the same sentence. What a joke.
Mariano Rivera's vaunted cutter... How it's done.

Re: ****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
I hope they win it, to spite the fanbase in Minnesota. These dumb****s accept medicrity, year after year, getting their hopes up for a pennant chase, maybe making the post-season, then getting annihalated. All this is done by the richest owner in basebal. Hell, at least the Yankees want to win enough that they spend the money to bring in talent.

Re: ****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
I have four ears of eligibility left and I'm somewhat confident that I could make the majors by 42 if I were allowed to SPIT ON THE ****ING BALL! A knuckle-ball with with a giant lugi rubbed into the left side of the ball would make it plummet straight down faster than sputnik wothout a parachute. Come on, man. We're not talking sour grapes here. He peed on the leagues rug, man.

Re: ****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
Okay, I have a physics question. How does spitting on the ball affect it's performance?

Re: ****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
Baseball is roughly spherical. The only inconsistancies are the seams. The more you spin it, the less the seams are an issue. A fastball spins, but not a whole lot. The ball basically moves along a trajectory defined by where the pitcher lets it go and at what speed and direction. The more you spin it, the ball starts acting like an airplane wing with one side of the ball having a lower pressure than the other side. This causes the ball to move in the direction of the lower pressure. Not too many pitchers can throw the ball hard AND spin it enough to make it break alot. Bert Blyleven could throw a hard curveball.
Another funny thing happens if you can throw it without it spinning. The less it spins, the seams become a big deal and cause the ball to move. That's what makes a knuckleball work.
Spitting on the ball creates a variation in the surface of the sphere. As the ball flies, a thin layer of air called a boundary layer forms. For a perfect sphere, the boundary layer is the same everywhere and the pressure pushing against the ball is the same so the ball flies straight. The spit causes the boundary layer to detatch in one place resulting in a pressure change between that spot and the rest of the ball. These pressure changes mean that the force on one part of the ball is lower than the force on the other parts of the ball causing the ball to move in the direction of the lower pressure. This is why the spitball moves. The difference is that a pitcher can throw a fastball with not much spin and get the same movement as a curveball. Batters can't pick up the spin so the guess fastball and miss badly. Pitchers used to do the same thing by trying to cut the surface of the ball.
Now remember, you asked.

Re: ****ing Yankees. Cheatin' bastards...
Look at the brainpower! Awesome. 40, and 4 years of college eligibility. Got plenty of spit too. I'm going into the Majors.
Bert ****ing Blyleven single-handedly defeated the Baltimore Orioles in the '79 Series. ****er! That's sour grapes.
