How does the catcher and Ryan Ketchner baseball player communicate

No other position in sports is like it. A catcher must be a quarterback, a goalie and a point guard, all at once. It’s a plunge deep into the psyche of pitchers. It involves discerning opposing batters’ weaknesses better than they know them themselves.

It all leads to a timeless, nine-inning job interview with the umpire hovering like a gnat right behind them. A positive answer? A grunt from creating the illusion that a sphere about 75 millimeters in diameter, spinning nearly 2,000 times per minute in unpredictable directions, flied over the edge of an 18-inch pentagon. A negative answer? A failed magic trick resulting in nothing but the hum of the crowd, spewing like water out of a showerhead.

The voyage is an interminable class, only every night brings with it a final exam. It’s endless studying on a subject they’ll never know everything about. And it all starts well before first pitch.

Catching is a demanding position, both physically and mentally. But the most important aspect of the position probably isn’t hard they can hit the ball, how accurate their arm is, how quickly they can transfer the ball into their throwing hand or how strong their forearms are to stick pitches on the corner.

More than anything else, a catcher must simply take a vested interest in the man standing 60-feet and six-inches away, on a 24-inch rubber atop 10-inch pile of dirt.

“Golfers have caddies, and it’s that same kind of relationship,” says Chicago White Sox catching coordinator John Orton. “Where you’ve got to make that guy feel good about himself, know what he can and can’t do, know what kind of phrase you need to go out there with when you do a meeting on the mound, if it’s someone you’ve got to fire up or someone you’ve got to calm down.

“Those are the biggest things. If you care, you’re going to do all those little things to help that pitcher get through the inning, get through the game. That’s what makes the difference over the course of a long season.”

The long season stretches all the way to Spring Training, on the tiny back fields across Arizona and Florida. And maybe that’s important to remember; every game, offense comes and goes. You get three, four, five at-bats and make the most of them.

But defense? For catchers, it’s a constant grind. It consumes them, even when they’re not on the field.

“When I’m not playing, I talk a lot with them (the pitching staff),” says Dash catcher Omar Narvaez. “We cover all the situations so we already know what we’re going to do.”

But sometimes talking can be difficult. Winston-Salem has players that hail from 13 different states and three different countries. It’s a mishmash of languages, dialects, accents and mentalities. So how does an English-speaking catcher like Jeremy Dowdy communicate with the hurlers on the staff who only speak Spanish?



Hope it helped! I found it on the website about baseball players

How does government use taxation to affect distribution of income
pogonyaev
A majority of taxes are payed by the rich (top 20% of earners pay 84% of taxes - Wall Street Journal), while those who make less money, or no money, pay less (or no) taxes, while still benefiting from government entities (schools, parks, etc.). In addition, the progressive tax system that increases the percentage of taxes an individual pays the more money they make has shown to deter people from economic growth. If a person is nearing the next tax bracket, they may think twice about getting the raise or expanding the business, if the taxation will be at a higher rate.

중국의 만리장성은 언제, 사람들은 어디에 그것을 쌓았고, 만리장성은 얼마나 높았고, 얼마나 오래 올랐는지에 대해 무슨 일이 일어났는.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

그래서 중국의 만리장성, 진시광 사후 사라졌다. 그리고 진시광이 죽고 진시왕조가 몰락하는 동안 그들은 900마일을 수리했습니다. 유명한 중국 장군 Meng Tian은 처음에 프로젝트를 감독했습니다,대부분 흙과 돌로 만들어진 이 성벽은 중국해 항구인 Shanhaiguan에서 서쪽으로 3,000마일 이상 뻗어 간쑤 성으로 뻗어 있습니다. 만리장성의 높이는 5~8m(16~26피트)입니다. 진지하게, 긴 시간이 걸립니다 – 전체 길이의 경우 최소 17개월

Explanation:

Translation: ( So the Great Wall of China disappeared after the death of Qin Shiguang. And while Qin Shiguang died and the Qin Shi Dynasty fell, they repaired 900 miles. Renowned Chinese general Meng Tian initially oversaw the project, mostly made of earth and stone, and the wall stretches more than 3,000 miles west of the China Sea port of Shanhaiguan and into Gansu Province. The height of the Great Wall is 5–8 meters (16–26 feet). Seriously, it takes a long time – at least 17 months for the full length.)
