I'd rather embarrass them with a good eephus pitch. Poor Gorman Thomas...

dime so we could all watch his reaction video to getting thrown at.

I only threw at one person once back in my pitching days. The kid was horrible, coke bottle glasses, awkward as can be. He had just robbed someone on our team of a grandslam to end an inning. The fence was only a 3 foot high fence, he just stuck his glove out and caught it, if I remember right he wasn't even looking in the same direction as the ball, and well he got pretty excited and celebrated the whole way in. After the game, the other team told us it was the first ball he caught all year. So, he was leading the next inning off so my catcher and a few other guys were telling me I have to throw at him, but I didn't wanna hurt the kid, he was seriously BAD. So I told my catcher fine, but its gonna be a knuckleball. So first pitch, I throw a knuckleball at him, and in self defense he hits a line drive right back at my head knocking me on my ass! yup, learned my lesson. I never threw at anyone again. Yes, I can still throw the knuckleball.
Side note, the only home run I ever gave up was to a Hinske, either Eric or his brother. Not bad for being a junk ball pitcher who's fastball topped out at 72-75 range.


That Gorman vid is great. Theres so many Brewer fans a little older than me who think Gorman is was one of the all time greats, and they insist he was the Brewers best all time CF (Yount of course is a SS to them) I have to tell them to look up his career batting avg. Its one of the all time worst with minimum 1,000 at bats. Gorman and Robby Deer were so ahead of their time, theyd fit right in with the launch angle home run or nothing crowd.

back when he was Joey and not Albert Belle he hit a bomb of an hr over my head that is still probably going..he basically walked around the bases and stared down everyone..we were in our home ball park..needles to say our pitcher, drilled him in the ribs with a 92 mph fastball and the benches cleared

I hit a guy on purpose once. He didn't do anything specific to deserve it, but he was a complete asshole. If I threw hard enough to hurt anyone I probably wouldn't have done it.

I used to bean one guy every start. Almost guaranteed. It was never really on purpose.

I got 20 years in, but this might be it, all the years playing CF is starting to catch up to me.

Pitching was so much fun. I always wished I could have a LITTLE bit better stuff so I could have got in more games. It wasn't until the last summer I played hardball that I finally got to pitch a lot, only because we had no one else that could throw strikes on that horrible team.

anyone else getting annoyed with all the home runs in baseball so far? Seattle already has 56 I think? Brewers got up to 48? tonight? were not even 1 month into the season.

Yes I am totes annoyed by all the Mariners’ home runs

Twins beat the Astros tonight giving them the second best winning percentage in MLB. I really wish they’d sign Craig Kimbrel. It would be awesome if the could also get another good starter at some point. Either way, I think they have a good shot at beating Cleveland for the division. If they were to add something like that, they could be real contenders.
