Something has really been bothering me lately, and I keep seeing it so often that I'm starting to question whether maybe I'm just wrong.
I keep seeing media people using "command" and "control" interchangeably. In my mind, that's not right. "Command" is the ability to throw your various pitches - fastball, sinker, curve, etc. - when you want to, and throw them effectively for strikes. "Control," on the other hand, is the ability to locate your pitches, and generally throw strikes.
So am I wrong, or are people just getting really lazy with their words?
