Minnesota Twins Newsbeat
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
The phrase “pitch to contact” has been deleted from the Twins lexicon. It is gone forever.
Like Mikhail Gorbachev’s birthmark in official Soviet Union portraits, it has been expunged. All traces have been removed and no one is allowed to speak of it. As far as anyone is concerned, the phrase, like the birthmark, has dissipated into thin air.
“I’m never saying it again,” Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson said.
“pitching to contact.” We’ve always been at war with Balls in Play.
