sigokat Wrote:saw this on Sportscenter at the gym just now. Pretty cool, but I wonder how many times he rehearsed it. Also would it technically be a balk? Or an illegal pitch? He was pretty far off the rubber when he released the ball LOL
Yeah, as soon as he took that step backwards and then another to start his jump it was a balk. Still, after seeing John Wall throw it into the ground like a toddler that was cool.

Ralph Machio played soccer? Well that makes it all better.

Yeah that was pretty funny. They also showed GWB from the 2001 WS and he threw it better than some of those other "athletes". I remember watching that WS and I was sooooooo happy to see the D'Backs take it.

And yeah, we would like to check out one of the shows. Almost went this last winter but something came up so we missed it.
Poor John. He looked like he'd never thrown a ball in his life. If only Grant Hill had thrown like that . . . Dirk at least had a little bit of form and his pitch made it across the plate without bouncing.
I was more amazed that this guy's throw was so accurate after the spinning flipping thing he did. If I had a different body and could do that kind of flip I'd be so disoriented I'd probably throw the ball toward the outfield somewhere.

See, the argument is over when the Ralph Machio card is played. lol

Hehe, yeah I would have probably made a John Wall type throw if I could have done a flip like that. Not that I could do a flip, I did say if.

It was kind of cheap of me to go straight to the Machio card, but I am cheap.

I'll show you cheap. Remember Stallone played soccer against the Nazis and won. That's right, I threw the Stallone card. Now who's cheap?
