Brett on the Mound

x
Number One
video shot from behind home plate

Brett pitching to two batters
The first walks, though Brett thought it was 'strike-three-side-away' and has a word to
the umpire ... the next batter singles to the outfield and a base runner is out at home
on a relay to the catcher, Ritchie Mounsey ... so now it was side away !!

Looking through the viewfinder, I couldn't pick up the ball
and missed the action at home plate ... but I did get the umpire's "out" call !!

Number Two
video shot from near the first base dugout

Brett pitching to two batters
The first hits into a fielder's choice with a runner out at second base
and the second batter is out on a 'called-strike-three-side-away' !!

I was videoing home plate during this pitch ... and the umpire's call looks good !!

In the Batter's Box

Plate Appearance #1

Single to left-centrefield


video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_78.flv

Plate Appearance #2

Hit back up the middle and snared by a great dive by the shortstop
but the throw to first base was off line and Brett reached safely

I am not sure if this was scored a hit or an error ... my guess would be a hit

Version Two
PITCHER ... BATTER ... BALL ... BAT
and this is in 'super-slow-motion'

NOTE
- the video below is in Windows Media Player format (wmv)
It runs for 44 seconds and is only 1.08Mb in size ... will download very quickly

VIDEO
The above video was trimmed and the version below starts just before the pitcher, Greg Wicks,
lifts his leg and stops after Brett hits the ball ... this resulted in a video of just four seconds in length
It was then slowed down, really slowed down, to show the same action
..... but it is spread over fourty-four seconds !! ..... and it looks great !!

AUDIO

As the video starts, there is a bit of sound track noise which stops as Greg releases the ball
When it goes quiet, increase the volume to maximum ...... more than maximum !!
Then listen to the "Cannon Shot" just after Brett hits the ball ...... fabulous !!
