drop a line

Sánchez didn’t get any help from Vargas in the fifth; the third baseman dropped a line drive by Starling Marte while trying to transfer the ball from his glove to his throwing hand.

Late on a video conference call with reporters this week, Washington Football Team star Chase Young dropped a line that almost ignited as he spoke.

Around that same time, Ant Williams, an Australian free diver, and his team took to snowmobiles in the remote north of Norway, where they cut a hole and dropped a line in a deep lake.

Typically “drop a line” is the Rainier Beach football coach helping his players reach out to college scouts.

In person, Chiklis certainly exudes strength, but he is warm, humanistic, passionate, cursing himself when he drops a line, high-fiving the crew when they nail a difficult take.
