Interesting. I used to try to throw in a knuckler just cause I wanted to see it dance or do that weird thing where it looked like it just rolled right off the table

As I've gotten older (it's all in fun, I don't play much anymore,..never played for pay), I've had to adjust my release. Shoulder, and elbow don't like the stress of the knuckle ball,..so I've learned to use my fingertips, dug into the laces, of the top rear, and sides of the ball. Then use my fingers/extending g them during the release, for the velocity, I've lost in arm motion, andstrength.
I can still get it to come out on the dance floor for me,..it'll shake its *** a Lil bit!!
 
To bring this all together our OC hire needs to be like Mariano Rivera - you may know what’s coming, but you still can’t do a god **** thing about it….

No one in FBS was hiring Joe Brady before LSU did.
No one was hiring Zak Kittley before WKU did.
No one was hiring Lincoln Riley before ECU did.
No one was hiring Mike MacDonald until Michigan did.

I understand wanting a name brand, but if the kid has got the juice let's go with a big brained innovator over a re-tread. Mario's interview process, learned from Belichik, is certainly thorough and if he evaluates Whipple or whoever as the best option I'm willing to take a leap of faith.

**** guys, if anyone in the country should know about the fire you play with when you take the up and comer and not the established dude, it should be us. We’ve done it for 20 years and it’s been one spectacular failure after another. Sure, there are plenty of examples of unknown guys being successful. But there are WAY MORE of an unqualified guy getting a job, immediately stepping on his **** and the whole world saying, “Yeah, that probably wasn’t a good idea”.

My whole point is we don’t need to go this route. We should have everything in place to hire someone proven, established, and successful. Why leave this to chance? We know Mario isn’t the world’s best football coach. He needs help on that side of things. You think the best option for us to provide that help comes from 32 year old Spencer Whipple? Come on. Think bigger.

I get that. That’s more gamesmanship. But when spies in the stands and video from the scoreboard type stuff goes on that is crossing the line. Even the best eye on the field isn’t stealing as perfectly and for as many innings as the Astros did.

But the same thing applies. You’re gonna know that they’re stealing signs because you’re going to hear/see them communicating in some way. Go and change your signs. I get why players were up in arms because you’re ******* with their money but the coverage on it was horrendous.

When I saw this list I thought it was very solid, but I'd go so far as to include Major League II over Pride of the Yankees. Or maybe even Angels in the Outfield.

Angels is an interesting one in the baseball movie landscape. I’ve seen it multiple times. Didn’t get the warm and fuzzies. Every part was ok but no parts great. But others, usually a little younger than me will fight me on that and I can’t argue.

They did change signs! Didn’t help. It was as big as an advantage short of paying someone to throw a game or that level. It was crossing the line of gamesmanship sign stealing. MLB didn’t punish them nearly as hard as they should have gotten. I’ll die on this hill Z lol.

I’m gonna be real with you. My brother as I’ve mentioned before with a certain major league organization with single A club as a assistant pitching coach. They all do it. Houston and Boston just got caught.

My brother played travel ball with a bunch of kids who have spent time in the bigs, one in Boston during ‘19. It’s super sophisticated the methods these teams were using. Anyone who’s pretending this is isolated is naive.
