I'm big on feel, and I think it can help a relief pitcher gain feel before he goes into the game.
Joe MaddonI've always - outside of the outfielders running over the hump, and it could be slightly dangerous, and it can impact play; of course it can. But on the other side I think, again, just if you're pitching, a relief pitcher, I think it's kind of a great place to get involved in a game.
