A RHP'ers 12-6 curve that breaks 5-6 inches in to RHB's is the atom bomb of offspeed pitches. How the heck does a RH batter ever get the handle in and down onto such a pitch?
Sheeeeesh. Wave white flags at that one.
Scroogies? I don't remember Marshall's diving into the dirt like that. McGraw's, IIRC, dived a bit more. But it may have seemed that way to me simple because he threw it from the other side. McGraw was nails, also a complete screwball himself, but a LHP's scroogie would seem to have less advantage than a righties.
So Delabar is throwing a Blyleven-ish curve with Marshall-like horizontal movement.......pray for rain.
Doc, what were the speeds that he FB'ed, curved and "thanged' at?
