Oh yeah, I forgot. I love to watch baseball. Considered one of the most boring games out there, it's one of my favorite sports to watch. I see nuances in the game others don't. Things don't just happen with the stolen base or the home run. Field positioning, pitch location, the batter's adjustment on the bat and in the batters box, and decision-making while running the bases (when to run and when to hold up)....I love it all.
Finally, player body mechanics, especially pitching, is something I like to watch. It started back about 10-11 years ago when I got into an online discussion over the course of several months with a kineisiologist over the pitching style of then-Chicago Cubs pitcher Mark Prior. He was being hailed as the young phenom with a bright future because of his "perfect mechanics", but myself and my online colleague began breaking down his mechanics and felt very differently than the hype. I used to be active on the MLB discussion boards, so I offered my analysis there at the time, and I was predictably scoffed. I insisted that Prior had very risky mechanics that would result in an injury if he didn't adjust how he rotated his shoulder during the pitch release.
Turns out I was right. He went down with an injury and had to have Tommy John surgery on his elbow, and he was never the same since. Every now and then I analyze players for fun, but not as closely as I did back then.
You can all wake up now.
I. Love. You.
