In baseball, there are two legal pitching positions: the windup, and the set. Colloquially, the set is often referred to as "the stretch", although this term actually only refers to one part of the pitching motion when pitching from the set.
Each type of pitching position has its strengths and weaknesses. Compared to the set, the windup takes a relatively slower execution, so therefore is better suited for situations in which there are no baserunners, or when the lead runner is on third base, since it is difficult to steal home plate. Conversely, a pitch from the set, having a relatively faster execution, is preferred when there are baserunners. Faster execution is important to prevent stolen bases. A pitcher may also use other techniques to prevent stealing; these are ways of holding the runner on and include the pickoff, the pitchout and the slide step.
However, some pitchers, particularly relief pitchers, are more comfortable pitching from the set position, and thus use it regardless of the situation.

Three Very Big Secrets From the Set of ‘The Big Bang Theory’
Smiling eyes in a sea of faces
Stealing time for secret places
Making love in the afternoon
Chorus
This is the third stone from the sun
He made it for everyone
This is the third stone from the sun
He made it for everyone
Mother earth is calling you
Mother earth is calling you
Mother earth is calling you, tonight
Rolling stones should rock together
Ride the storm cloud crystal weather
Silver sun when the day is done
