English translation: "You son (CENSORED). There is absolutely no (CENSORED) way you are getting this (CENSORED) ball past me. If you throw that (CENSORED) ball anywhere near this (CENSORED) plate, I'm going to smoke it right back at that stupid (CENSORED) beard of yours."As I said, I'm not a mind reader so the exact wording might be off. I seriously doubt that it is off by much though. However, I can absolutely beyond a doubt guarantee that his thinking was NOT ...
"Boy, he really has nasty stuff tonight. I don't know if I can hit that. I hope he makes a mistake because I really don't want strike out to end the game."There is, of course, a world of difference between the two statements. It doesn't take a brilliant mind to determine which set of thoughts is more likely to produce a successful outcome. The look that accompanies the first set of thoughts may be very tough to put into words when describing it to others but you absolutely know it when you see it. The look that accompanies the second set of thoughts is also immediately recognizable. Just look at the picture of the deer.
The next issue becomes ... can that look and the attitude behind it be taught? I'm not so sure.
By the way...
Yadier Molina fouled off a couple pitches and then walked. That began a rally that tied the game and later ended in a victory for the Cardinals in extra innings.
