Puig would've made that catch.

School me MLBGaf:

In baseball video games the lateral movement across your body (right to left for a righty) is considered a slider with the cutter being the opposite (left to right for a righty). How does mo's pitch qualify as a cutter if the movement is like a textbook slider across his body. Or is there a distinction in the type of movement between the two pitches that I'm missing?

OH MY GOD GOMEZ YOU FUCKING SUCK

 

[Enron]

NLol

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Haha, that Triple was awesome.

 

[Lambtron]

No. Nathan has been notorious for blowing games for as long as I could remember.

You don't remember before 2010?

Cutter runs in on lefties and runs away from righties.

The late movement. I don't know, can't explain it.

A cutter doesn't break towards the pitcher's throwing side.. that's like a screwball or something. Most pitches don't break that way. A cutter is just closer to a fastball than a slider is, with later movement.

Cutters also move mainly on a horizontal plane. Sliders actually break vertically.

The '09 playoffs were before 2010.

 

[Dominican Power]

Difference between a cutter/slider is the way you throw them.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Cutter runs in on lefties and runs away from righties.

So how is romo's signature pitch considered a slider when it runs the same as mo's?

 

[Sealion88]

doesnt make any sense letting mo pitch 8th. just doesnt make sense...

 

[JDHarbs]

Didn't think Alex would get to hit. Send Prince home!

 

[cashman]

So glad there will be a real closer coming on in the 9th

see my post. The run is unimportant, it's the break on the vertical plane.

It's Leyland, he does not make any sense and never tries to.

Grilli nearly Harvey'd Gordon there.

It breaks more vertically than a cutter.

 

[HerbertFish]

If Rivera gets MVP over Sale I riot.



Preparing now.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Joe Nathan coming in.

Poor Masterson.

Gotcha, I think that was the quickest I've gotten a grasp on something with the forum's help so thanks.

Slider equals earlier and more vertical break while a cutter moves horizontal, late, and is going to run away from a righty. Can a lefty throw a true cutter then?

Edit: I guess that a lefty's cutter would just run away from lefties, into righties. So nvm.

Yes, either your video games or your eyes are lying to you, a cutter moves toward the pitcher's glove side. Pettitte throws a cutter.

Thanks, Cuzzi.

Yes, Al Leiter and Jon Niese are two lefties known for their cut fastballs.
