    hm....per what I remember from the halfassed instruction I got from my older brother 25 years or more ago... there was some similarity between those two, I remember him showing me the circle bit - but if you look there is a key difference (this is according to what I've been shown, so may need to be taken w grain of salt...that said the techniques worked, screwball aside, seemed that you needed to throw it harder and snap wrist more and differently for the screwball vs curve) the circle changeup, a larger circle, the screwball, small circle, end of thumb on the ball, emphasis on middle finger and de-emphasis on ring & pinky.

    just cuz the pic differs from what I was shown for a circle change up

    Truth be told, I think the grip is irrelevant as long as your pointer finger is on the inside seam. You're supposed to be thinking 2-seam fastball throughout the motion and add a twist at the end right before the release, much like how you toss the cutter, except the twist is odd... the twist is in a different direction than the cutter, and that's what makes the pitch "screwy". It's supposed to be a reverse curveball in it's breaking motion.

    Fail Rockies misspell Tulowitzki's name on giveaway jersey

    FOX Sports




    Troy Tulowitzki went on the disabled list earlier this week, but it wasn't for surgery to have one of the t's in his last name removed. At least that would have explained what happened Saturday night at Coors Field.

    The Colorado Rockies were giving away jerseys bearing the name of their All-Star shortstop, except it was misspelled, leaving out the second "T."

    Let's give the Rockies credit, though. They put out a statement in which they promised to make it up to fans who got the "Tulowizki" jerseys, allowing them to exchange for shirts with his name spelled right and also get a free ticket to another game.

    Well, the Red Sox have scratched Lester from his scheduled start today and since trading deadline is tomorrow, it appears that the season isn't going bad enough this year, the management wants to make it worse by trading away our best pitcher.

    It looks like they're trying to build a new team.

    Word on the vine is that Andrew Miller is about to be dealt to the Tigers.

    They won the World Series last year FFS, I'd say it's a little stupid to blow up the team because they are having a bad year this year. They just got rid of our 2 best pitchers.
