"It’s a little tiny thing, taking my hips forward, making it so I couldn’t collapse on my backside and staying taller got me through the ball and got the release point out farther," Washburn said.
"From there, it’s taken off, everything has become more sharp. I now have a sinker that sinks, my fastball goes in both directions, the changeup’s a little better and the breaking is a little sharper. That mechanical adjustment made everything that much better."
-- Jarrod Washburn, on the changes that resulted in his big improvement this season.

Wow.
“It’s a little tiny thing, taking my hips forward, making it so I couldn’t collapse on my backside and staying taller got me through the ball and got the release point out farther,”
This worked for me, too!!! Of course, it was an entirely different context….
As Kurt once pointed out to me
It’s Comment of the Night, not Comment of the Game. So arguably, this could be considered.
