April 14, 200620 yr I am not sure if this belongs in the Marlins forum but its about the players. What are those black things on Jacobs wrists.. what are they used for? Jacobs and Hermida are the only ones I know that wear them. Sorry if this is a totally obvious question.
April 14, 200620 yr god holly.. thats so totaly obvious... they give him his superpowers.. the left home is for making catchers drop the ball, the right one is for homers, but together they keep him from being able to run what so ever... those are some wierd looking wristbands.. heh.. they look almost rubber..

April 14, 200620 yr basically like a wristband itself helps relax the arm or something. kinda like when catchers tape their fingers together to grip the ball faster like CJ used to do

I understand the CJ situation.. but MJ is a 1B, would the benifits of the bands not help him much? side note: D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?
April 14, 200620 yr It is black tape Are you trying say that its not magic? Santa will be mad at you... :santa common.. props on the smiley placement... wouldnt tape LIMIT wrist movement!? making it harder to throw.. that cant be right
April 14, 200620 yr For show. Same reason why some players have batting gloves hanging out of their back pocket even at the plate. It's all show.
April 14, 200620 yr i read that as "Fo' Sho'" anyway.. you dont think tape would limit wrist movement? maybe not at the bat, but when making a throw.
April 14, 200620 yr It's to make people start stupid threads like this one. I just wondered. llighten up dude.. :blink:
April 14, 200620 yr It is black tape What is it used for? nothing ... they just look cool It's to make people start stupid threads like this one. better than the ones about attendance or how much loria sucks ... those are givens
April 14, 200620 yr I'm interested. How do the players think they help? When I played, I was the no frills type, only using batting gloves and that learned the hard way.
April 14, 200620 yr LoL it supports your wrist from a bad movement that'll sprain your wrist if you didn't have it on..so it's just pretty much to support the wrist..also when you have a sprained wrist you can put that on it,and it'll feel alot better,you will barely feel your sprained wrist,and you'll perform like you do on a daily basis.
April 14, 200620 yr at first i thought that they were there so he couldn't sprain his wrist while baserunning ..but they look to high up jacobs' forearm for that :mischief2

When I used to lift weights (I need to restart that soon), I would tape my wrists on bench press days. It gives you support.
April 15, 200620 yr Wrist supports, I wear one when I am batting at cricket, they provide tension and thus act like muscle on the outside. I have a weak wrist and they really add support.
