Chris Resop - The Most Interesting Reliever in the World.:
I went looking for these videos in search of a pattern; maybe a pattern of pitch location, or pitch type. What I found was something far more fascinating.

Perhaps he's praying, as in a line from Psalm 23: "My cup runneth over".
Pardon the sacrilege, I know it's Good Friday and all, but I couldn't resist.

So you're saying he needs more strikes and fewer balls?
