- [Hughes] George Fant said it’s going to be hard switching from right tackle to left. Compared it to a pitcher trying to pitch with his other hand #Jets https://twitter.com/connor_j_hughes/status/1438229976806039559/ 42 comments nfl
- [Jhabvala] Fangio trying to describe the development Drew Lock needs to show: “He’s not a quarterback yet. He’s a hard-throwing pitcher that doesn’t know how to pitch yet.” https://twitter.com/nickijhabvala/status/1152274941812891648 105 comments nfl
- [Nitkowski] "I'm going to start working with the New York Yankees and teaching pitching. So many guys throw hard but don't have command...We need to teach these boys to pitch...Pitchers are getting away from pitching and are focused on throwing hard." - Mariano Rivera https://twitter.com/cjnitkowski/status/1088448467867824128 143 comments baseball
- [Yakyu Cosmopolitan] Kenta Maeda on what MLB pitchers have impressed him the most Jacob deGrom & Jhoan Duran Duran told him that he throws with the intent of making the catcher fly all the way to the backstop with how hard his pitches are https://twitter.com/yakyucosmo/status/1753427542521061409?s=19&t=289YqR54_FqbKPKwG66mHg 16 comments baseball
- [Joel Sherman] What MLB should do to combat the dangers of ‘grip it and rip it’ pitching. Proposed 12 pitchers limit per team. Pitchers are chasing velocity, large pitching roster allows constant supply of hard throwers. Limited roster emphasizes better lineup management and starting pitchers. https://nypost.com/2023/10/31/sports/why-mlb-could-reduce-pitcher-injuries-by-limiting-staff-size/ 158 comments baseball
- [Passan] I know that was a long delay. Jake Odorizzi also is a starting pitcher who hadn't begun stretching and is being asked to throw in a playoff game. So forgive him for cramming a typically long routine into 13 minutes. Pitching is hard. Pitching in a situation like this is brutal. https://twitter.com/jeffpassan/status/1449483958584963074?s=21 42 comments baseball
