chw42 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 29, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) Another awesome thing about that picture: I think he's throwing a slider there, but I'm not sure. It's really hard to tell what he's throwing and I get the feeling hitters agree. Looks like a slider. Two fingers gripping on one seam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I just hope Sale woke up this morning and his arm felt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:25 PM) Looks like a slider. Two fingers gripping on one seam. His arm action and angle are almost identical, though. There aren't many giveaways like there are with the standard overhand arm angle. Throwing 97 with that kind of disguised pitch is just filthy.

Jake Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Can't tell what pitch from that photo. Many pitchers throw fastballs with fingers together, especially those that throw 2 seamers. Not a change though, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 29, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) Can't tell what pitch from that photo. Many pitchers throw fastballs with fingers together, especially those that throw 2 seamers. Not a change though, obviously. The difference is that he's got the two fingers on one seam (it appears that way to me, not easy to tell). Two seamers usually aren't thrown with fingers together. If they are, it's towards the middle of the ball, not on the seams. Also, the positioning of his thumb also seems like a slider grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Any picture of any pitcher, even one with the best mechanics in the world, looks horrifying to the human eye cause we as non-athletes can't throw the baseball like they can. Hell, any still photograph of something that to the human eye goes by in a second looks weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Gotta believe Sale's start fired-up the staff. Phillip, do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Ha, apparently Cooper snapped on reporters asking pitch count questions about Sale. Something to the effect of "Pitch counts are for people who have never played the game" Lol I have no idea why they make him available to reporters.
