After his last successful start, Jered Weaver was telling Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com what he did to solve his early season problems:
“I’m just not jerking off the ball anymore.”
Uh, well, yeah. That seems like a bad idea. I was never a pitcher, but I’m pretty sure that is not what you are supposed to do to the ball. So what are you supposed to do?
“My front side was kind of erratic and I wanted to clean that up. But my front side has been a lot better, which leads to a better arm slot, so everything’s coming out of the same slot now. It’s a good feeling.”
Oooohhhh! Now I understand, that makes a lot more sense than the other thing. A lot more family-friendly, too.
