Answer 1

Split-finger
A slower ball delivered by gripping the ball between the index and middle fingers.

Chucker
A term used for a bowler who bends his arm more than legally permissible.

Manhattan
A graphical representation of the runs scored per over. It's so named because invariably it represents a city skyline.

Rollers
A rolling device intended to flatten the pitch surface. There are two types of rollers available: Light roller and Heavy roller.

Answer 2

The fastball is the most common type of pitch in baseball. Some "power" pitchers, like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson, can throw it 95-100 mph (150-160 km/h), and rely on this speed to prevent the ball from being hit. Others throw more slowly but put movement on the ball or throw it on the outside of the plate where the batter cannot easily reach it. The appearance of a faster pitch to the batter can sometimes be achieved by minimizing the batter's vision of the ball before its release. The result is known as an "exploding fastball": a pitch that seems to arrive at the plate quickly despite its low velocity. Fastballs are usually thrown with backspin, so that the Magnus effect creates an upward force on the ball, causing it to fall less rapidly than might be expected. A pitch on which this effect is most marked is often called a "rising fastball", as the ball appears to rise to the batter. Colloquially, use of the fastball is called throwing heat or putting steam on it, among many other variants.

Gripping the ball with the fingers across the wide part of the seam ("four-seam fastball") produces a straight pitch, gripping it across the narrow part ("two-seam fastball") produces a sinking fastball, and holding a two-seam fastball off-center ("cut fastball") imparts lateral movement to the fastball.

A variation on the fastball is the forkball and the similar split-finger fastball.

Manhattan is a bar graph showing the runs scored off each over in a one day game. The graph will also usually show in which overs wickets fell. So called because the bars supposedly resemble the skyscrapers that dominate the skyline of Manhattan.

Roller is an implement used to flatten the pitch before play.

Chuck to throw the ball instead of bowling it (i.e. by straightening the elbow during the delivery); also chucker: a bowler who chucks; and chucking: such an illegal bowling action.

Chin Music:
When a batsman faces a series of bouncers from pace bowlers. Historically, it has been used as a tactic particularly against sub-continental teams because of their inexperience of bouncers. Term taken from baseball.

Answer 3

split finger
is where the middle and forefingers are placed on either side of the ball ( split) thus making the delivery slightly slower and more eratic.
