bleeder
Slow infield grounder
A bleeder is someone or something that bleeds.
In medicine, it refers to a person with a bleeding disorder like hemophilia, or a blood vessel that won't stop bleeding during surgery.
British slang uses bleeder as a mild term for a person, often with irritation or grudging sympathy: poor bleeder, lucky bleeder.
In plumbing and mechanics, a bleeder valve releases trapped air or fluid from a system.
