Any chance we bean Escobar if this game gets out of hand?
He pretended to get hit by a pitch in Atlanta, and got a free base out of it.

Command is a pitcher’s ability to move the ball around inside the strike zone.
Control is a pitcher’s ability to control the baseball both inside and outside the strike zone.

So
if you just throw any strikes you have control.
But if you can locate your pitches within the zone then your commanding your pitches?
