The run on that 103mph fastball is wild. If he can throw that consistently, I don’t see how anybody can hit that

It's got to be annoying when you throw hard enough that basic contact can easily turn into a HR lol

Ninja, you are the King of Karaoke too, just admit it! Do you think Uncle Charlie will retire after this season? Or do you think he has a season or 2 left in him?

@PitchingNinjaVideos 5 ай бұрын

He certainly could hang on...but I know he was close to retiring last year, so my guess is he'll retire. Not 100% sure tho. I don't think he's a guy who will just keep pitching and barely hanging on. He doesn't seem like that guy to me.

Ben Joyce's run doesn't count as well because it was in a peewee park

I'm sorry, but "nothing he could do with that" middle-plate fastball? All Torres had to do to crunch that ball into the right-field porch was to drop his bat on it. It wasn't on the corner and it did not have much, if any, movement. Like too many hitters, Torres was guessing with two strikes (and the game on the line), and when you guess off-speed and get fastball (much less a fast fastball), if it is a strike, you walk back to the dugout. It is bad enough the seasons are sculpted for market maximization and games are managed to increase kickback opportunities from the international gambling community, with which baseball is in bed shamelessly, like every other major sport, after wisely swearing it off a hundred years ago. When, however, competition has become so meaningless to players that they not only throw away at-bats as meaningless but whole games - without the slightest sense of shame or disappointment - and, indeed, seasons, the extent to which the business guys have tanked the sport (across sports, by the way - all major sports, around the world, but especially here in corporate-sports R-U.S.) becomes appallingly clear. I have not seen enough of Joyce's mechanics yet to offer betting odds on whether he is a lock for early joint injury. I have only seen two brief appearances, partially, and those only from unhelpful camera angles. Most guys have bad mechanics, and that is the best indication of future injury. Joyce looks relatively sound for a modern pitcher, which is why he is able to throw as hard as he does. Relative soundness is not enough, however. For his sake, I hope he is doing this the right way. I'll know once I get a better look, but it is hard to watch the Angels hoping to see a closer. I wish people were better about teaching pitching mechanics, but most coaches do not understand the mechanics of the human body as it applies to this unnatural activity. There is an epidemic of damaged shoulders and elbows out there.

Sir, I think you don't know what a middle middle fastball is. You think that pitch was square in the middle of the zone? It was at the knees.

@bitegoatie 5 ай бұрын

@@PitchingNinjaVideos I never said the ball was "middle middle". It missed the outside corner by a good six inches and it was just above the knees. I described exactly how that ball is typically punished. It's hard to understand the reply here. I could not have been much clearer. I figured you would just say "well, yeah, maybe it was more hittable than I said, but at 102 you don't get much time to decide" or some such thing. The bottom line is, strikeouts have been high for a long time for many reasons. One is bad, guess-based hitting, completely disregarding context, with no shame at all about whiffing. Torres can and does hit such balls, but he tends to guess, even with two strikes. The results, in this case, are plain. A fastball at 90 would have had him in that instance.
