The knuckler must not have been dancing much!! Historically, knuckle ball pitchers have a rough time at the beginning of the season, due to cold weather, the ball "moves" much better in warmer weather.

the Tigers lit him up for sure but if cold weather has anything to do with what happened yesterday, How cold is it in Texas this time of year??? It sure looked like a nice day on the highlights.. Looked like a few innings of b.p. to me..but do give the Tigers credit they have really improved the past couple of seasons offensively..

Why in the heck is he throwing a Knuckleball?????? Wasnt he a pwr pitcher in college??

He was. But as you push past 30, you start to loose that umph with your fastball. He was sent down to AAA last year and saw an opportunity to hang around for a very long time ... as long as he can tame that knuckler. If he can, he migh pitch until he is 45.

Don't know what their exact plans are for him. But, I think if he mixed up a 92mph fastball with the knuckler it could be dangerous. But, definitely more knuckles that fastballs.

That's the issue I think. He doesn't hit 92 any more. He is their 4th starter ... just got to get to the heat of the summer so the knuckler will dance.

      National middle school Duals

      By DylansDad · Posted

      Can’t believe no one posted on this and gave this team the recognition they deserve!  AAU team Tennessee went to Iowa and done what no other team had ever done and took down Iowa and the strength by holds in AAU nationals!!! Yes McCallie had a solid group of 8th graders and they showed up but we had an AAU team that wrestled their butt off and we didn’t just place in the top 5 … we won the whole dang thing! Yes the NHSCa’s were happening and that may have hurt but never once had TN ever won the national folkstyle duals national championship!!  It was a team effort and some amazing young kids!!!    We are not a fly over state any more… on a side note : we have any even better team for cadet National's team duals in Utah and have a chance to sweep both duals which would be unprecedented!!! However the funds aren’t there and USA isn’t in th position to help these kids get to utah as was AAU that got us to Iowa! Stay tuned for some oppertunities to help make a statement for Tn!!!

      Right cause you know me, you may know my name, what I post on here, what I say on our shows, but you don’t know who I am. And if your class ring doesn’t say Trousdale County high school, quite frankly I don’t care what you say.

      Dont get your reference, but okay. You calling someone a hypocrite is ironic given your track record.

      Not gonna lie, it’s been hard watching my alma mater go through a tough stretch on the grid iron. But this thread is even worse. y’all sound like a bunch of jr high mean girls, popping off, while hiding behind screen names.
