Talk:knuckleballer

RFV discussion: October 2016–May 2017
Rfv-sense: A knuckleball.

gets no hits; the one non-book hit it picks up is "I still have serious doubts that the Red Sox would feel comfortable throwing a knuckleballer on the mound in the playoffs, but they may have no better choice." is the other sense of knuckleballer (does cover this by the way?)

 * None of the instances in the Google news archives of knuckleballer referred to the pitch; they all referred to the pitcher. DCDuring TALK 20:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll add the sense of throw, which is hard to cite because it's chiefly used with the person's name, and I can't Google the name of every pitcher ever with 'throw' in front of it. I've added one cite to Citations:throw. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * How about 'throw * "up against"'? Other prepositions or adverbs might also make sense with the putative sense of throw. DCDuring TALK 18:35, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * If you can have placeholder terms in Google searches, "throw [placeholder] out of the bullpen" would probably do it. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:18, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The "*" is a kind of placeholder, but can include some number of tokens, perhaps 3-10. DCDuring TALK 17:40, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
