Which shitty Republican would you prefer?
Cruz, kasich, Paul Ryan, Ron or rand Paul... anyone that isn't a liberal named Donald trump
Cruz is a huge POS, Kasich is a faggot, and the Pauls ain't running.
The Paul's were and have run, yet people were too busy voting for trump and other retards
Ron didn't run in this election and Rand dropped out months ago.
So neither one of them are running. :moon

Yeah, coaches were opposed to the curve until I was about 13. I threw it anyway... even on 3-0 counts. :dog But my curve was often more accurate than the heater, so... :dunno

At 10, maybe one kid on a team can throw a curve. Most kids pick it up around 11 and basically experiment with it. By 12 (the last year on the small field) most solid pitchers can throw a good curve, but a good coach will not throw it a lot. A good coach will teach his player to work the corners and utilize a good change up and not throw your arm out at a young age. By 13 (the first season on a big league dimension field) you really do not rely on the curve since you have to go back to basics and learn to just throw strikes again. Going from 50 feet to 60 feet, 6 inches will humble a 13 year old who had no issues throwing from 50 feet.

It was a pretty easy transition for me. I started throwing it harder so it wouldn't curve too much, which ended up giving it a much sharper break. It was pretty damn nasty. I would have kids bailing out on pitches that dropped on the outside corner at the knees. :pimp
Hitting was actually a bigger issue for me with the extra distance. It messed up my timing. I also had trouble reading the spin. Had to judge based on arm slot/angle.

This, which is why I said he was a two pitch pitcher basically. If he was a pitcher for HS team he'd be throwing more pitches, but if the career ended at Little League :no

Word. It was my best sport. I kicked ass at fly and free, and I swam an age group above mine.Baseball and football were the most fun though, so swimming and tennis got the ax.
Bullshit detector has reached max capacity, as baseball isn't fun at any age. :sadyes

I have to agree with the YP.
I played baseball in grade/middle school and it fucking sucked. :down

As I said, ladies, baseball only sucks if you suck at baseball... or play catcher, RF, or 2B... which probably means you suck. :dog
If you think swimming, or any kind of racing, is more fun than baseball, you probably should have skipped that lobotomy. :sadyes

So playing 1B is "fun"? :ROFL2 Shut up, you suck.

How much fun did you have the other 4 days riding the pine while the other SP's were starting games? Fucking snore. At least the C plays every single day.
Where did you get this 'competitive swimming > fun than beisbol' schtick from? You're not feeling well obv.
Off topic: Did you name your pitches? If so, was your fastball called 'The Rice Burner'? :thought

Okay, it's pretty obvious now that you never played baseball. Even in college, pitchers are often position players when not pitching. Anyone who has ever played at any level would know this. I usually played CF or 3B. I also played on travelling teams, which means tournaments, which means you often play 2-3 games per day. Sometimes I would be the closer for game 1 and the starter for game 3. At that age, throwing 200 pitches in a day ain't shit.
Uh, when you said your bullshit detector went off because I quit swimming/tennis for baseball/football because the latter were more fun. I know you have trouble reading other people's posts, but you should at least be able to understand your own.
I called it the "Speedy Gonzalez", in your honor.

It's pretty obv :youfail I played Cf, C, 3b for the majority. Your college must have been community, shitty with an incredibly small pool of players if the Sp's played positions and got zero rest. Explains your viewpoints on this subject. Then again, you've claimed to have "mastered" the curve ball :ROFL
I said my bullshit detector went off "as baseball isn't fun at any age" - nowhere did I mention swimming/tennis. :crazy I know you have trouble reading, but that wasn't too complex for the average toddler....or so I thought. Here, I'll dumb it down for you: baseball isn't fun regardless if you throw 900 pitches a day. Period.
