Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

“I’m sure a large part of the reason is curveballs and other breaking pitches put a lot more strain on the arm than throwing fastballs.”
also, for a majority of pitchers the fastball is the only pitch they can control and throw for strikes with any kind of regularity. That’s why even major league hitters are told to always sit on the fastball

“Flying metal? What idiots!”
At least go to wikipedia and find out what the heck game theory is first before commenting would be nice.
Or I’m just ranting because I spent my sophomore year stuck working on Min-Max / alpha-beta pruning projects.

“I’m sure a large part of the reason is curveballs and other breaking pitches put a lot more strain on the arm than throwing fastballs.”
I’d have thought this was too obvious to even post. There was a BA SP about 20-25 years ago in the early days of FA who had a huge season and signed for the LAD for big money. When his arm went poof, he later said that he threw twice as many curves as usual in his last season with BA.
I’d also add that the frequency is what might make it more hittable. I’d bet that if they threw the curve ball 60% of the time, it would become much easier to hit, and the FB tougher.

“In baseball, pitchers appear to throw too many fastballs…”
Don’t worry. Just wait for Jason Varitek to retire and those numbers will even right out…

LMAO!!!! Hahaha! Yeah, because baseball players aren’t smart enough to learn what they can throw with how many decades of history to draw on. Right……… What this monkey behind a keyboard doesn’t take into account is, well, it’s because it is baseball, not football dummy
