First Pitch Breakdown
July 28, 2009
- 2-Seam Fastball. Will cut down-and away. The typical strikeout pitch.
- Power-T position before the throw. Generates hip drive for max. velocity.
- Eyes on the target.
- Pitching hand cocked back so batter can’t see ball during delivery.
- Business slacks. He ain’t here to play, hes gonna break the catchers hand.
ASSESSMENT
Strike three – batter looking. Fastball looked inside coming towards plate then broke away on the inside corner.
- Palm ball. Comes in slow and doesn’t move.
- No Power-T. Right hand hanging down towards dirt.
- Eyes and mouth show fear that a batter will actually be in there to knock it 603 feet..
- Pitching hand open so batter can see ball during delivery.
- Mom jeans? When they asked him to throw out the first pitch he wrote a speech.
ASSESSMENT
This ball will be hit so far it will need a flight attendant.

I am certain the world leaders view Obama’s technical expertise, power and knowledge of the global leadership game similarly. The young lady with the crown actually has better form.

The young lady also had the sense to know that she would not have the strength to get the ball all the way across home plate from the rubber so she moved closer, unlike Teleprompter Boy.

Obama is trying to “pitch” the idea to all of us that he loves this country. His delivery tells us everything we need to know.

Funny stuff, but Bush is actually throwing a four seam fastball. Check the grip. 4 seamer flies straight and seems to rise at the end. Also a good strike out pitch.

Can he do anything right? Opps, the word right doesn’t apply here. He learned to pitch in Chicago; as an aside, it’s only important in Chicago you know how to catch! JimBo, that’s Robin Roberts who has a stronger arm and not to be confused with the real Robin Roberts of the Phillies, a mainstay in the glory years when folks played for the love of the game and the love of America. “Was life so much simpler then, or has time rewritten every line?” Yes, life was so much simpler and our National leaders were more caring of the thoughts of those who put them there.
