i got a question, do the hammerheads play at roger dean stadium? that is one hell of a complex. i went to go see a cardinals spring training game there this past spring. however whoever designed the traffic patter for stadium exit was a complete moron and should be shot in the face repediately.

I'm saying this half in jest, maybe he should give up being a power pitcher and learn to throw a knuckleball. Knuckeballer's who are any good usually have long and successful careers.

OK here's kind of a stupid question, but it's something I've thought about for awhile. Why is it that power pitchers never learn knuckleballs? Could you imagine, say, Josh with a 96 mph fastball, sick curve, and then maybe 3-4 times a game float in a knuckleball to completely throw off the hitters' timing? Just curious.

His arm really isn't getting any better, perhaps it's time to contemplate retirement.

 

Maybe you can send him John Franco's number...do you still have it handy?Talk about your uncalled for comments

Not sure I understand the post or the point?

Spooney was told by the doctor that it was the breaking up of scar tissue that caused his pain. Not that serious.

Arm speed and the whole motion of throwing a knuckleball is totally different

Plus it's very hard to master, look at Wakefield, it's almost all he throws (besides sometimes a fastball or curve) and he still has problems from time to time
