Baseball Rampage Coupons + How to Hit a Curveball

Thanks for the tip on how to hit a Curveball! I played baseball once, and like many geeks didn’t hit the ball once. Of course I figured out all of the math behind how a Curveball works, but in reality that did not help one bit.

Thanks for the coupons, I’ll show them to my less-nerdy friends who play baseball. They might use them. Do you have any coupons for Dell computers or know where I can find them? I saw the ones for HP, and was wondering if there were any for Dell? Thanks!

I agree with you chris about hitting a curve ball. there’s no chance I can, all I do in high school is cross country, wrestling, and track there’s no actually ball involved in any of these sports. I just don’t do baseball. Although I know a lot of people who do do baseball and they love it. Although I did find the article very interesting and will take it the next time i’m challenged upon to hit a curveball, which i don’t really know when the next time that will be, but i now know. Thanks chris.

ive never played baseball as im from england but i am very interested in the game thank for posting chris!

Even though I don’t play baseball, these are some great tips for learning how to hit that curveball. I’ll give the coupon codes to some of my friends that do play baseball. Great find :)

Thanks for the coupons I will probably use these also about hitting a curve ball I believe that as they stated the most important thing about hitting a curve ball is moving up in the batter’s box.

Wow, you really are diverse! The topic being baseball wasn’t something I expected except for maybe a Wii game review. Although it is good advice none-the-less. I’m right there in the boat with you though, I couldn’t hit a curve ball to save my life. Heck I probably couldn’t even hit a tee ball, thanks for the game advice though, now I can act like I kinda know what I’m talking about when I talk to my sport-loving friends.

i play baseball for my school and i just keep my eye on the ball and that has worked for the last four years

man thank you for the tip next time i step into the box (tomorrow at practice) i will sure remember this tip.

God I love the information age! I love the methodical scientific breakdown of things we see all the time, but have never figured out. This kind of info demonstrates the truth of what they say about how important the “mental” component versus the “physical” is to the game. However, I don’t think there’s any hope of me hitting a fast curve ball, or any ball for that matter unless it’s moving at about 20mph and no more!

Baseball Rampage Coupons + How to Hit a Curveball

Chris, can you at least hit a ball? Cause I can’t :P I like taking pictures of baseball though.

Interesting post Chris. Baseball isn’t -my- thing, but I appreciate it. I’m going to email the link to my son and let him have a look. I think he will enjoy it very much. This might even be the thing I needed to get him focused on school work. Thank you very much.

“Once you know it’s a curve, move up in the batter’s box so you reduce the amount of movement on the pitch prior to hitting it.”

I know you didn’t write this, but it’s a silly statement to make by Baseball Rampage. It would be more appropriate to say that 95% of the time you WON’T be tipped it’s going to be a curveball until it’s being thrown…arm angle, over reaching, grimace, amount of ball showing from the hand, side of wrist/front of wrist, etc…and at that point, it’s way too late to move up in the batter’s box.

I guess my point is…might want to go someplace else for curveball hitting tips.

But your blog entry worked, I’m heading over to BaseballRampage.com now to check out the deals.

Thanks!

This is an awesome post I always just stood in the top of the batters box against a good curveball pitcher. I never really had enough time to look at how the ball was spinning coming at me though.
Once again

Baseball? What is that? lol. jk. I’m a geek, so I don’t like sports. I think its in my blood. Isn’t it in every geek’s blood? lol Unless you count Demo Derby… I really like to watch things get destroyed. Its fun. ;)

Although I am a big baseball fan, none of these offers really appeal to me. Maybe if they had mitts, or hats or something. As for the curveball, I don’t think it helps to get all scientific about it, I think you have to keep practicing to find something that works for you.

I remember the good old days of playing baseball, i don’t play anymore though. When throwing the Curve Ball, there is also a way you have to swing your arm. It’s not only the seem positioning. It takes practice but you will get it sooner or later.

I played base ball for a while and a good thrown curve ball is almost impossible to see until it on top of you. Ive seen some wicked pitches where it looks like the ball is going straight and at the last second breaks.On a curve ball is how I hit about 90% of my fouls.

Never played baseball, but I enjoy going to watch the teams in the stadium. Go Rockies! [Living CO :) ] Just recently went to watch the Rockies lose badly to the Dodgers a week ago. Oh well we did make it to the world series though, even though we got swept out haha! I love all the coupon sites you put up. Really interesting.

When I was a kid I would spend hours and hours trying to figure out how to throw curveballs. Never got it down. It still boggles my mind how a ball can move so dynamically with just the right amount of spin.

The best thing the player could do is reducing the predictability of its moves on the field.
Imho repeating the same tricks on throwing the curveballs is the worst thing a pitcher does in professional baseball.

Being from Europe I’ve just enjoyed watching the game while on I was a trip in the USA and when I have some time on my hands I watch it on TV. So my opinion is entirely based on my limited experience as described :)

I myself who used to be a sports geek now turned computer nerd but still enjoy the occasional sports have stumbled upon many youtube videos speaking how kids (these days, hehe) are starting to throw curve balls too early.

I was one to always be scared of baseball I mean I stopped playing when the parents stopped pitching anyway. I wish I could hit one.

I don’t really play baseball that much. I lack most of the coordination necessary for the sport (or any sport, for that matter). But these sound like excellent tips. I never realized there was so much to pitching a ball :)

I love the game of baseball. I play in a summer league and need to start buying stuff. Guess what website I’m going to? I must be one of the few people that can hit a curve ball. Never really had any problems with it. As is said, you basically have watch the pitcher and the ball to figure out when it is coming.

I played baseball for 7 years and no one really explained it to me this way! I went out and tried it and it worked perfectly the first time! It always seems that the ball moves more than 9 inches! Thanks for the science behind throwing a curveball!

Baseball is not one of my favorite sports but I did foward this blog post to a few friends who play baseball and they enjoyed it :D

if only this coupon came a few years ago when I was still playing baseball. In my opinion, the curveball was the most difficult pitch to hit, and when you did hit it, it was mostly just luck. Ahh, the memories…

well i don’t live in the States but played a similar thing like baseball and softball in school, the major difference was that there wasn’t a pitcher who threw you the ball, we had to pick up the ball, toss it the air and swing the bat, we used to use a tennisball, after a while we got baseball gloves and real baseball , but still we didn’t use a pitcher so i don’t have a idea how it would be to try hitting a baseball that someone threw at you but if someone would throw a baseball at me i would know how to hit it now, thanks for the tips.

I cannot play baseball very well for some reason, but I love me some football! My brother-in-law plays baseball in the minor leagues though, he’s pretty darn good too, if I must say so. I doubt I throw or hit a curve ball with much efficiency, but put a football in my hands… then we got a different story.

Great. Now I can finally get some tips on throwing a Curveball. Im a baseball fan and i like playing some baseball with friends. I never play the pitcher position but i would like to learn how. Thanks Chris.

Thank you for the technical explanation on how to hit a curveball. I used to play baseball, and I just swung and prayed basically. Hopefully with these tips in mind, I can improve my skill based on logic, rather than luck.

Do they also have tip on throwing a curveball? Or do they only have tips on hitting a curveball?

Thank you, Chris and Baseball Rampage, for these coupons.

I’m going to pass the tip on to my son, he has had trouble hitting curveballs. Thanks for the coupons, I love a good deal, I’ll check out some equipment they have.

I guess Baseball is much like Cricket in the UK. Cricket is really big thing here, as I am sure Baseball is in America. Its more nations that specific teams, but people still love it.
I think its awesome to see more and more cross over between online communities of different interests. This particular one is not one that I would have initially have assumed, but there are obviously many keen sport fans, and/or athletes out there also fascinated in the world of tech!

I loved baseball but I haven’t played it since a very long time, but I know that there is no chance to hit a curveball. Maybe I should play it again sometime?

Well i’m not that into baseball, more of a soccer dude but hey, it’s a sport = activity = people = fun and tips and help given to sports are always great way to make sporting better and enjoyable

Before I learn to hit a curveball, I need to know how to hit the ball altogether. I was never very good at baseball.

In my opinion you need a lot of experience knowing how to hit curveball.In my country we play more football than baseball

Passed these onto my dad he said thanks a bunch for the great coupons (he coaches a little baseball team, and tends to buy supplies because the town is cashed strapped)

Passed these onto my dad hes a coach and is always looking for good coupons for supplies for the team

I can’t hit a baseball to save my live, let alone a curve ball… Interesting read none-the-less.
