[@Bones12x2]

@@phantomjellyace2877 i think that sentiment is highly based in hyperbole. The idea that a single casual toss done at random would throw off muscle memory based on literally millions of repetitions is silly at best and biologically false more realistically. Pitchers literally will toss a ball back the ump/catcher at random times all the time fornvsrious reasons. The mechanics of an eefus pitch are so far removed from a typical pitch that its honestly absurd to consider it "messing with his mechanics". Thats just a thing people say because it sounds smart but has no basis in logic or science . Its like saying that of Steph Curry randomly did a Granny shot mid game it would mess up his jumper. The only valid reason to avoid it is that the likelyhood of throwing it effectively nearly every time is slim and that would be required to make it worth while.
