David Beaty, an assistant during Mark Mangino’s heyday, inherits a program that has lost 48 games in five years, so he knows it won’t be hitting .500 this season.

WATCH: Let us enjoy R.A. Dickey's knuckleball in flight - CBSSports.com
It gives the appearance of a waist-high meatball, but then it just keeps fading and diving. Joyce whiffs, and, as you can see, he's so off-balance that he rolls his wrists too early -- if he had hit it, it probably would've been a weak grounder to the left side.
