“Oh come on! Just serve the ball already! This is like watching a pitcher!”
“What?”
“Look at her!
Bouncing the ball up and down like that.
It's like watching a baseball pitcher!”
“Pitching isn't easy.
Both leagues will now have designated hitters for their pitchers.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Why not have designated hitters for other positions?”
“What?”
“Yeah,
a designated hitter for the catcher,
first baseman,
short stop …”
“They change catchers all the time.”
“Like they don't change pitchers?”
“Look,
pitching is a specialized art.
You don't want them getting hurt while batting.
Just the other day one got hit bad with a baseball.”
“So anyone can be the catcher then?”
“Well … no … ”
“So why not designated hitters for catchers?”
“Because … ”
“Well?”
“Shut up!”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
