"A ground ball with eyes" = quả bóng có mắt -> nghĩa là trong bóng chày, quả bóng được đánh, rơi xuống đất và tránh được hai hoặc hơn các cầu thủ bắt bóng trong sân, tạo cơ hội cho người đánh bóng chạy về cọc gôn. Gọi là có "mắt" vì như thể quả bóng "thấy" được đường của nó để tránh khỏi bị tóm.

Ví dụ
You know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It’s 25 hits. Twenty-five hits in 500 at-bats is 50 points, OK? There’s six months in a season. That’s about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one, a gork, a ground ball — a ground ball with eyes! — you get a dying quail (chim cút), just one more dying quail a week and you’re in Yankee Stadium. You still don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?

We missed some signs. We didn’t execute very well in certain situations. And, we’ve got to compete better on the mound. That first game has kind of been a problem for us all summer. We get to the bullpen and we struggle (gặp khó khăn). We struggle to put the ball across the plate. And then a couple walks, a ground ball with eyes and all of a sudden (bất ngờ) we’re in a tough spot. We’ve struggled with that all summer.

We played Garrigan in the district finals, and they came close to ending our season. A ground ball with eyes up the middle and an extremely favorable hop over the shortstop’s glove scored a couple of runs and ultimately allowed us to win.

He nearly claimed a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals when a ground ball with eyes from Ryan Zimmermann derailed (làm trật bánh) it in the ninth inning.
