Do rise balls actually rise?

ah yes it rises in the east just after you put a little yeast in it. for the ball that rises in the yeast drops in the west. does a curve really curve or is it a illusion. its called a curve,it must be a curve. once you walk across the rice paper without tearing it your free to go grasshopper.

So it really comes down to if you believe the science, or not.

Silly,

Americans seem to believe that science has the answers to everything and can solve all problems. I think its because of the Star Trek culture America has embraced. Remember science states that there is no way a bumble bee can fly. The scientist have proven that bumble bees have no lift on their wing design and it is imposable for them to fly. I have seen many bumble bees in my day. Never saw any walking from flower to flower. Yes bumble bees fly and yes the rise ball rises. Such a silly argument, anyone who has watched, coached or played the sport knows it.

I guess this is kinda like the man who's wife's detective got photos of him and his mistress. When confronted with the photos, he replied, "who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

Science also says that rabbits dont live in hats. I however have seen people on countless occasions pull rabbits out of their hats!

This topic sounds like a great plot for the kids in the softball movie to solve.

Yeah, I saw a gal jump out of a cake at a bachelor party once. Do you think she lived in the cake? LOL

No, but it might explain why I love eating gals who jump out of cakes.

Err... cakes that gals jump out of?

Err... ice cream? Yup, explains why I love eating ice cream. And...

its funny if a batter swings at a high pitch,Her parents say, oh! Thats a good rise ball .and maybe she just missed the ball,and it was a bad pitch. but if they swing and miss,its a good pitch , for the pitchers parents. we will take that . but the pitcher must make the ball spin in the exact right direction to appear to rise, maybe it does. the spin of the ball can fool the batters. just like how a change up does. its coming in slow but spinning fast along with a fast body motion of the pitcher , they swing before the ball is released. oh well take care my softball family!

BD, for this pitcher's parent, its only gets funny when the hitter swings at that ball 3 times without contact.
