TwentySeven Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 OK guys, I was a this other forum reading, and someone linked me to this.

TheNateGBent Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 How many times do you think he could get away with it? I'd go with three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyMcM93 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 How many times do you think he could get away with it? I'd go with three. Two or three. Did you see the batter? He was stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav3rek Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 that's absolutely insane. I wish someone would try that in the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztery Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 How many times do you think he could get away with it? I'd go with three. Like Kaz Tadano's pitch. He makes it work because he throws it very rarely, but it works when he does. If he began to use it much though, people would sit all over it.

SwinginSoriano Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Orlando Hernandez uses an Eephus sometimes. It's is a stun pitch, the reason why it isn't used all the time is because you have to change your arm angle to throw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2kennedy Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 did anyone see randy johnson throw an eephus pitch last year to one of the orioles? it was pretty funny...the commentators said he may have gotten crossed up with flaretny and just decided to throw it. haha the unit even cracked a smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
