the sound of fastballs

[Careless]

Does anyone know anything about what the sound of fastballs tells listeners about the throw?

[Pushfrog98]

the sound of the ball whizzing by, or the sound of it hitting the catchers mitt?

Is this a koan?

Absolutely nothing.

what is going on here?

Whenever I hear the sound of a fastball being caught it becomes very apparent to me that the ball has, indeed, been thrown and is now in the possession of a man who squats behind a plate wearing a mitten made out of the skin of a bovine creature.

It is one of my favorite sounds, though.

ssssszzzzzZZZZZZTTT!

 

Generally the louder the pop into the catchers mit, the greater the velocity.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The hills are alive with them.

[bhogg]

it tells me the catcher caught it clean in the sweet spot of the mitt.

The sound tells you that you're too late.

[C.C.]

Strange little thread.

The sound tells you that you're too late.

That's about right. If you hear the sizzle, you're too late.

It was one of those things that told me my pitches were fast that I never got any sort of concrete mention about. I've been curious for years, because I've never heard pitches as loud as mine.

[Tracer Bullet]

Um yeah ok

[Sammy Sofa]

Are you farting as you throw? I don't even understand how this is a thing.

[Banedon]

Hello catcher, my old friend

I've come to throw to you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of fastballs

[Yeti]

those seeds left while you were sleeping were left by something else

[seanimal]

the weirdest part to me is that it was written a month and a half after the first part of the bizarre conversation by somebody who posts multiple times a day.
