"The Unnatural"—in which I spend a week at spring training trying out for the Brewers, both literally and figuratively whiffing.

@neiljanowitz thats respectable.

[neiljanowitz]

@AVAblink97 Ostensibly yes—but keep in mind that what's fun for me is working extremely hard at something I might not have the skills to do well.

[AVAblink97]

@ConcepcionPR You might be right about the mechanics, hitting, running, throwing, fielding and bunting, but know what doesn't show up in the video? Intangibles. Never underestimate them.
