Chris,

I see the back leg shape now. But I still cannot Pujols spinning. Pujols PUSHES off his back leg to get the back hip around the front. The front HIP IS PLANTED--it resists--it DOES NOT MOVE.

And Jack, "the straightest distance between to points is a straight line." It may curve somewhat. But it is almost A to B. But hitting around the ball makes the bat approach it from the side. This rolls the wrists. This causes a weak swing. Better still, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIT THE SWEET SPOT WHEN HITTING THIS WAY. Guess what? A smart power pitcher ties the hands up for an inside strike. When you make contact, it is down near the handle. SNAP! The bat shatters. And another routine grounder.

I thank you Jack--but this supercasting don't make no sense to me.
