Hollyberry Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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.

TimeWrecker Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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..

CYmarlins Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Madman81 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 For show. Same reason why some players have batting gloves hanging out of their back pocket even at the plate. It's all show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeWrecker Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rferry Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Z Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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.

Mauer7 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Marlin Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
