How many bases can Joe Cowley steal on AJ?

I don't know where this thread belongs, but the video is hilarious and worth watching.

 

"STOLEN-BASE CHALLENGE | In 2007, White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski threw out only 16 percent of attempted base stealers. How many times will he throw out a 39-year-old sportswriter?"

The video is 10 minutes long, but it's worth it. Cowley is miked up and attempting to steal against AJ... and you get to see and hear the entire thing as he tries it 10 times. I laughed through most of it.

I think it would have been a lot more fair with a batter swinging at the pitches and missing, and a guy like Jose or Gavin delivering the pitches.....the problem isn't AJ, it's those two...(among others).

 

 

There are a lot of factors. We have a lot of opponents who realize that a lot of our pitchers don't throw over, and they run on first move. The other is some long strides to the plate. There is no attempt to keep the runner honest, or mix up their own timing mechanism as they stride to the plate.
