Poets give us vivid images and precisely chosen words to make us feel the moment. The pitcher in a baseball game tries to confuse the batter by seeming to throw the ball one way, while the ball actually goes some other way. Obviously, the goal of the pitcher is to make the batter misjudge the pitch and strike out. The pitcher's throwing technique is different than the other players on the team. Whereas the other players, the base players and the outfield, deliberately throw to a teammate, the pitcher often tries to fake a throw or to throw a ball quickly to a plate before the batter or runner can react.
