Talk:Pedro Martinez, idiot or baseball genius?/@comment-168.98.32.51-2006041374437

I don&quot;t think he intends to hit people, and I don&quot;t think he&quot;s a jerk to try to reclaim the inside part of the plate. Its simple physics that a ball will not travel as far when hit by the small of a bat closest to a players body? Why would a pitcher not take advantage of this fact?
