I don't watch baseball for the excitement, I watch it for the annoyance.

Yep, that's baseball.

Subject: Re: PESO - Mr. Dickey Throws a K
On a baseball scorecard "K" denotes a strikeout.
Everything you wanted to know about scorecards:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping
As it turns out, in this case it should be a backwards "K" as the
batter did not swing and took a called third strike ("went down
looking", in baseballspeak).
Yes much of the game takes place in the infield. One of the
difficulties of playing outfield (I know from experience) is being
ready when the ball is hit your way; one can go many innings without
making a play.
Thanks for the comment!

What does 'throw a K' mean?
It's a nice photo. The sport seems a bit crowded, tucked into that
little corner of the field.

Kind of echoes my thoughts when I looked at the photo, Paul. Except
my favourite bit is the batter, body anticipating the pitch. The ump's
body position was pretty cool, too
Thanks for the comment!

Great pix! Shows the essence of baseball - the pitcher after the
ball
is gone, the ball in mid-flight, the batter and catcher waiting for
the
ball to arrive and...best of all, the ump poised to make the call.

sooooo offensive) so I jumped at the chance. Never been to a box

Free beer.
To be more accurate, "beer that someone else paid for". Whatever, I
liked it.
Didn't bring a long lens, so with the kit zoom I'm okay with this
photo. Here's ace knuckleballer R.A. Dickey throwing a strike:

On a baseball scorecard a strike out is marked "K", and this pitch
was an inning-ending strike, hence the title.
Jays won. Maintained their lead over the hated Yankees. I got free
beer.
It was a good night.
