    Switch Pitcher in the game for Oakland on MLB Network now

    Yes a switch pitcher. Jim Abbott must be pissed.

    Switch fingered glove with 2 thumbholes. Actually switching arms between batters.

    When that A's pitcher switched from righty to lefty, Scioscia had a WTF look on his face. LOL. Priceless.

    I'd imagine kid comes back out for another inning. Good stuff. Announcer mentioned he was "only hitting 80" left handed. Uhhhh 80mph with your weak arm is friggen ridiculous.

    I give the kid credit if he can pull this off. What a huge asset if he could throw both ways with some consistency... I'm not really concerned with his speed... (on the one arm.)

    Are you allowed to throw right and lefty... during the same batter? I was just wondering? If he could... has to be worth some value.

    You are allowed to switch arms one time per at-bat. Same goes for switch-hitters, so no effect on right vs. left, left vs. right.

    Played against a switch pitcher in high school. He switched after an inning, not batters. Crazy talented none the less.

    ahhhh "Jock itch"

    I suffered thru this during my baseball playing days for about 5 years. I always thought I had a fukkin STD from all the sketchy hoez i would hook up with....


    I went to several doctors and none could figure out what was causing the itching... thankfully a teammate finally put me on something called Gold Bond. That shit will make yo dikk numb and take away all the itching.

    Zito has been lights out in spring training up until yesterday

    Yesterday he got his ripped.

    his command was awful yesterday and thats a bad thing when your fastball tops out at 90 mph
