Baseball Afficianados: So were Zaidi's "pitches" in the strike zone? How fast was the pitch?

[ddeclue]

Were they sinkers, curve balls?

:rofl:

1. I think I saw him place his knuckles on the laces.

2. Looked high and inside to me.

3. His release point was way too high.

Shitty coaching, obviously, but his pattern was tight.

If he had just aimed at the mic, rather than LittleMan's pointy little head, we would be having a lot more fun with this.

4. at least 87 mph....not bad for a shoe

5. Chin music

:evilgrin:

6. Sal the Barber could not have done much better.

8. Now that is going back in time. Maglie was one of my favorites when I was kid.

12. Saw him live when he pitched for Brooklyn

in 1955 or 1956. Was 8 or 9 at the time. Loved the Dodgers.

7. It ended up as a brushback.

If he could have sailed more to the inside and down, he would have nailed him.
Throw it so it goes in the direction he will be moving. Don't know how good he
would be at making a shoe curve. It would have been fast enough to break his nose.

9. He miscalculated the amount the shoe would break. He should have taken some warmup pitches.

10. 4 Seam Fastballs - Up And In...

Announcers refer to those as "message pitches".


B-)

11. Definitly a Change-Up

When the situation called for a 4 finger fastball.
