He's rolling over on the curve balls. He just needs to keep his hands inside the baseball and the hits will start falling again.


Serious question:

I wonder how hard JRock could throw a baseball with a month of two of training from a good pitching coach?

He can throw a damn football the length of the field, I'd imagine he can easily hit mid-90's with a fastball. His motion would be so long though that I think batters would tee off on it.

He could take a knee at home plate and throw a ball over the outfield fence.

He could probably hand the ball to the catcher from 60 ft away.

This guy is sooooooo talented he could be a two-sport star IF he would get serious.

He stinks at his main sport and you act like with 2 months of training he is major league material.

The Rant is funny as shite.

Why would his motion be "so long"? Because he's tall? If so, how do you explain Randy Johnson aka The Big Unit. (I wish that was my nickname, at least with the ladies! )
He's 6'-10" I believe. And I don't think anybody tee'd off on him very often.
Anyway congrats to JR. Losing 50 pounds in 3 months is amazing and it appears he has the right attitude and mindset to succeed. I hope he can become the stud we all hoped he would when he was drafted and represent LSU well.

And to Dominustd or whatever your name is... Quit being such a stinky douchebag. All TheCaterpillar said was "I wonder how fast he could throw a baseball with a little professional training." And you got your panties all in a wad like you have some personal beef with JR. Chill out fella. Others have already stated that they would also like to see how fast he could throw a baseball and so would I (we are in the peak of baseball season you know). It's just something to talk about. Like "I wonder if Dominustd has major penis envy of JR?" It's a message board and oftentimes random thoughts come out and people discuss these random thoughts. So you don't have to come in a thread and bash a former tiger who is busting his arse to right some of his wrongs and make himself better and then be a dick to everyone while you are bashing.
