How to hang a curve ball for a strike

[RgrF]

Klayton Kershaw:



What kind of chance does a hitter have? This is immoral, ought to be illegal!!!

[silvarios]

That was nasty.

That aint no hanging curve ball.

I know what you meant but just to be accurate AND...a pain in the ass.

That pitch is snapping like hell...hangers dont snap..they sit there, up, until a bat smacks the piss out of em.

Anyhow, that boy's got one big ballooning curveball..he does that, what he's doing in the video, all the time.

Reminds me of Mike Boddicker's curve back in..80's with Baltimore. He's a righty but.. similar track on the space ball and boddicker threw some different looks on his..changed speeds etc. Over all..Kershaw has one of the most wicked curves in baseball history.

Dang. And what do you wanna bet he beanballs a few once they decide they should be able to lob that sucker into the bleachers ?

I'd like to see a side view to see that it really is a strike. It might hit the catchers glove while in the right spot, but that doesn't mean that it crossed the plate in the box.

Best pitcher in the game today. The years of Koufax comparisons don't seem so outrageous these days. As a baseball fan, it's a treat to get to see him pitch.

And he can field the ball pretty well too! Today he was on the front end of a double play.

Suicide Squeeze - Not!

Nice! "All he does is everything"

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Hits well, too. We're lucky to have him.

Amazing. Best pitcher since Johan Santana IMHO.
