I caught one bona find knuckleballer in my life and it sucked. Your release time is so messed up because you can't get your feet moving like you need to. I was a solid 1.9 to second base and I'll bet it dropped to 2.2 or thereabouts with that guy throwing.
It's terrible isn't it? The hardest part for me was resisting trying to stab it or catching it deep. It was like it was handcuffing me no matter what. And framing was a [expletive] too.

Framing...Christ...once was enough for me...the damn pitches caught me as opposed to me catching them.
