I am mostly referring to baseball, but the same goes for basketball. If anyone else is feeling the economical crunch, please explain how you can support it? Isn’t minor league just as entertaining? Have they apologized yet for cancelling the World Series?
Haven’t many of them thumbed their noses at fair competition by using performance enhancers?
Don’t you feel like this is the year to show them who has been supporting them so long by withdrawing that support?

How do baseball announcers tell the difference between a slider and a fastball when announcing games?

I can more or less tell a curve ball since it has a looping motion. I’m guessing a change up can be determined by the speedometer. New to baseball. Thanks!
