It's getting hard for me to listen to the announcers at the CWS.
Every pitch that goes to the side of the plat opposite the glove was automatically a screwball and the other side of the plate was automatically a curve ball. The slow motion replay clearly shows otherwise. Watching Fico pitch and every supposed screwball she threw was clearly spinning like a bullet and to me didn't seem to move at all, but the announcers was like look at at that late break. Another example was when Traina throws a pitch on the outside corner to a left hand batter and gets a called third strike. Announcer: great screwball on the outside. Slow motion clearly shows drop ball spin. I'm loving the slow motion replays though.
