Slider201 you are correct, I havent said anything about SB or BB, I have gotten sucked into the one thing I have been whinning about on my posts, cyber-ego-babble, I appologize to all the good SB folks out there, this shall be my last negative post. I would really like to talk some ball but I don't seem to be able to find many posts that want to talk ball, seems more like everybody wants to do battle with JB or BJ. I do not personally know either one of these gentleman, and Im shure deep down they are great athletic supporters. If you had a chance to read my bio posted by numerouno, you will see I am no newcomer to the game. And no it was no joke Fernandez/Piazza that matchup was quit some time back, this matchup of female FP pitcher vs MLB hitter has been replicated many times since ie Jenny Finch, Michell Smith, and many others against MLB hitters and so far MLB hitters 0 can't even get a foul ball. Michell Smith did say Dykstra was the scapiest at the plate and did foul a couple. There is a vidio on You-Tube where a sports science lab compares basebal pitcher cotact force at the bat after pitch, top collage pitcher throws 95 mph pitch and registers something like 1300 +or- (don't quote me) lb's PSI, then Finch throws her pitch and shatters the plexy glass strike plate, end of experiment. My point about MLB and FP hitting is there is a big difference in mechanics and teckneak, most people dont know the difference from a FP batters box and a BB box, or why this is, yes a MLB hitter if trained for FP should be able to hit between .240 and .300 in first season. I played FP in Mexico with MLB players in off season and tore them up at first, but they never were as gaad as regular SB players. I played for Kevin Mitchels team, he loved SB and sponsored a team, He grew up in San Diego and we played in Tiajuana. I don't know if you remember him He played CF for the S F Giants. Anyway my point BB hitting and SB hitting are two different. So if anybody wants to talk about the science of SB look me up, I'LL be glad to talk some ball. Coach Mike, AKA...FPdawg
