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 !! video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_73.flv |

x 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 !! video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_74.flv |

x 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 video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_79.flv |

x Version One PITCHER ... BATTER ... BALL ... BAT A real close look at the action NOTE - the video below is in Windows Media Player format (wmv) It runs for just 9 seconds and is only 2.75Mb in size ... will download very quickly x |
|
x 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 !! x |
