4/22 The tales of a knuckleballer

[Station 13]

"A knuckleball or knuckler is a baseball pitch thrown to minimize the spin of the ball in flight, causing an erratic, unpredictable motion. The air flow over a seam of the ball causes the ball to transition from laminar to turbulent flow."

 

Also a penguin is a bird that cannot fly. But it swims pretty well.

[Palodios]

Wright's last start against the Orioles, eight runs, one inning pitched.

 

This start, eight innings pitched, one run.

 

Knuckleballers are fun, right?

Wet night and Wright starting? Recipe for disaster.

Our offense sucks...

Pablo has to have the worst range in the league among 3B.

[Station 13]

Pablo would be challenged to wipe after himself.

[Jasonbay44]

Welcome back JBJ!

[Kimmi]

Woot! Woot!

[Fisk]

I forgot what sox homeruns looked like . Nice .

[mvp 78]

That was a BOMB!

[cp176]

Watching Wright, a pinch runner I do not see.

[Jasonbay44]

Young having a nice game. Walk, single and SB already.

[Spudboy]

Good evening.

 

I just returned home and missed The Jackie dinger.

 

Was it really a shot?

[Jasonbay44]

Wright sucks

[Kimmi]

Crap and double crap.

[FenwayFaithful]

When the knuckleball isn't working, it really, really isn't working.

[Station 13]

BP now.

[Jasonbay44]

I really dislike knuckleball pitchers. Sure, they can be great at times, but this s*** is beyond infuriating to watch..

[bosoxmal]

r rockets in a row. Isn't that enough?One more batter while somebody gets ready.

Rain = low-pressure = less air resistance = k-ball floats in straight as string.

[bosoxmal]

I hope that's Wright's last start. Maybe go to the bullpen, mop-up/change-of-pace work. But no more battimg ptactice pitching. Please!

[Jasonbay44]

Wright is a serious concern.. You can blame the weather all you want, but he's looked awful in three of his 4 starts.
