the funny thing about that gif is that it reminds me of how it feels to swing at a great curveball. it's really the only pitch i ever felt like i was missing in real time. you can actually see the batter's expression change to frustration while he's still in his swing. curveballs are a slow death, so you get to savor every friggin' moment of it.

Very satisfying to find a gif of this instead of just discussion.

Filthy.

1) How are you supposed to lay off that pitch when its release point is just above the belt?

2) How are you supposed to hit that pitch when it finishes an inch from the dirt?

 

Filthy.

i know everyone's down on bill cosby, but he has a great bit on when he was a ball player and he faced his first collegiate curveball. i was going to link the bit, but it's all rape jokes on bill cosby google time.

Look at what the gyroball has done for Uehara's career here.

still one of my favorite things about GR's starts are the look on major league batters faces as they are walking from the batters box.
