You've got it! He's trying to hit him with that mis-thrown slider.


Rudy - you're never going to see guys start trying to hit batters with sliders, curves, changeups, etc. Those pitches are so tough to command as is... you try to hit a batter with them, miss inside, and they've got a really fat pitch to hit.

You never want to throw a changeup above the belt, because then it typically is going to flatten out and just become a BP fastball.

If you're aiming at the head, you'd have to miss a ton. A slider or curve would make less sense than a changeup, IMO. But I don't mind conceding this one.
