Let's say you're former #VandyBoy Ryan Flaherty. You're a useful utility infielder with the Baltimore Orioles. You play pretty much every position in the book.
But you also only bat .218 for your career, and you're facing a reliever who can dial his fastball up to 105 miles per hour, approximately 17 MPH faster than it takes to make a DeLorean travel through time. The tying run is at first base, and you can end this game with one swing. Unfortunately, the count is 0-2 and the Orioles' win probability graph looks like the Nielsen ratings of a network dedicated to broadcasting three full hours to celebrity game shows each night.
