Eat ****, Timo haters.

Good job Timo!

Timo does what three men could not.

Haha Timo. Figures.

i hate timo but i will say he does seem to be clutch...

Looks like Widge had a lot of faith in Timo.

He's just not a #3 hitter.

 

Everett used to take swings that would hit liners all over the field. Now, he seems to be swinging out of his ass every AB in trying to hit a 460 ft homer.

I'm not that familliar with pitch grips, but I think a circle change gets it's name from the formation of a circle by the Index finger and Thumb on the side of the ball. --

 

McCarthy's change

 

Looks like McCarthy gets his middle finger to be part of the 'circle' too. Whether that makes it a screwball, I don't know?

You're right on the circle change name origination. I have never ever seen the middle finger being part of the 'circle' though. For a screwball you usually twist your wrist in the opposite direction of whatever hand you throw with.

It becomes a screwball, of sorts, if a righthanded pitcher releases with the wrist and forearm twisting slightly left. Releasing and twisting the wrist and forearm slightly right is the curveball.

yeah bmacs is a variation of a circle change, its similar to a screwball in the fact that pressure is applied to the left side of the ball. im not sure how the ball comes out of brandons hand, or if he snaps a particular way with his wrist. judging from his grip he probably rolls it off his ring/pinkey finger. Its possible to even flick outward with his pointer/middle which gives the ball more spin and would tend to move more like a screwball

Great AB Widge!

Shoulda been a double play.

Indians 1-0. COulda been much worse. First 3 men got base hits. Peraltta was an idiot and got thrown out, Hafner K'd with a guy on 3rd, and martinez go out
