Well, Tim Wakefield was at it again last night. He struck out one, gave up two hits, and only walked one. Miraculously, he has allowed three runs or less in the past six starts while going seven innings in all of them. That's pretty good for anyone. In Kentucky, we recently had our high school baseball tournament, and a team had a knuckleballer. He was only a freshman and couldn't throw hard, so they taught him to throw a knuckleball and eephus pitch. So his 13-17 team faced my high school team who was number three in the state, and predictably, my high school lost. At first, they weren't being patient, but when they were patient, they couldn't hit iit very hard. Just goes to show you that throwing 100 mph isn't the only way to get outs, and knuckleballs could save your arm.
