Jordan White
a knuckle ball doesn't spin so it does all kinds of weird shit in the air and fools hitters
Alexander Sullivan
I don't like answering your questions because they're endless and a lot of them you could easily google. Makes me think you're just having a laugh.
Alexander Rodriguez
No I'm watching it on NESN (New England Sports Network, local channel here).
The knuckleball is an EXTREMELY meme-tier pitch, and it just so happens to be the premier pitch of the current Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright, who is pitching this game.
The way you throw it it by gripping the baseball with the ends of your fingers against the seams, and then kind of "push" the ball when you throw it so that it doesn't spin. The lack of spin on the pitch gives it a wiry explosiveness that is unpredictable for all involved, and usually has nasty movement on it by the end of it.
John Kelly

Samuel Rogers

knuckleball is notoriously just a pitch you throw and hope works
sometimes it gets crushed and sometimes hitters cant do shit with it
Gabriel Nelson
knuckleball has to be -perfect- for it to work right. it can't spin at all. otherwise it turns into a slow fastball
Jason Gray
Anyone know what channel This is on? It's not on nesn or fuckin mlb network
Nicholas Gomez
He has the 4th lowest ERA (Earned Run Average) amongst pitchers in the AL.
The problem is that the Knuckleball is a meme pitch.
But tbqh with you Joe, the Hosmer homerun was just because Hosmer is a beast.
Brayden Robinson
Fox Sports Kansas City

Luis Peterson
even the pitchers have no idea where its going to go, its literally a meme pitch, they throw it and hope and pray its somewhere in the strikezone
