Tiger Infielder Danny Worth Flashes Filthy Knuckleball While Pitching in a Blowout

[LT Profits]

He may have a future on the mound.

[Down_Goes Bookie]

Yeah, but can he throw an eephus?

Cool vid clip LT ~~

[easyliving]

great gif

[mikejamm]

Definitely filthy! Hell of a pitch if you can learn to master it. Nice clip LT!

[pavyracer]

Looks like he is throwing it in slow motion. No wonder hitters swing early.

[koz-man]

Nasty pitch. Right there

[Wrigley]

Great pitch but the ones that dont knuckle and just float over the plate have done in many knucklers

[MexicanStallion]

A lot of position players have been pitching in just the first two months of the season.

[mr. leisure]

Something really cool about the knuckleball

not a bad strategy, and plus bullpens have been getting taxed across the league. starters have been going down as well (epidemic of tommy john's?)... relievers need all the rest they can get I guess

[frogsrangers]

He pitched again today and gave up 3 hits

Not a good sign for the staff when an infielder pitches twice in three days.

[Otters27]

Nasty pitch. Tough to keep that up over time though. Hope he doesn't hurt his arm

[Chi_archie]

does he throw all knuckleballs during his outings?

Tim Wakefield was a weak hitting first basemen in the Pirates minor league system when they gave him a shot at pitching with his knuckleball that he fooled around with during warm ups

it earned him a couple paychecks for pitching a bit here and there over the years

[jjgold]

Striking out one batter doesn't mean anything

Takes a long time to master the knuckleball

Most fail

[Bluehorseshoe]

Just need to get him Tommy John surgery and he'll have a fastball to back it up.

[jay89]

a dirty knuckleball to a horrific one

[LT Profits]

a dirty knuckleball to a horrific one

Lots of movement though.

[BennyBigNuts]

You gotta figure if they let him pitch twice in one year, they are thinking of possibly converting him if he's a failure on the infield right?
Anyone who can throw a decent knuckler has a shot to make himself a career for a few years.

[Robber]

I've seen this in the past, a few infielders who had pretty decent knucklers

[Deuce]

Best stats line of Det pitchers that day.

3 out of 4 at home by a combined score of 33-8.

[Chi_archie]

I bet he doesn't pitch again this season

[Cross]

Many of these guys have pitched before at high levels.

[Mitchell88]

the knuckle ball is dead, sucks cause it was fun to watch. I really doubt that we will see another true knucker baller. Wakefield might have been the last one.

[smitch124]

I guess he pitched too many innings to pitch today, a perfect opportunity for him

I shouldn't laugh I hate the A's

As do I, pal.

As do I.

[Robber]

Steven wright
Mike carp
David murphy


Chris Davis although not sure f he threw one

[boondoggle]

Dickey is only one currently using knuckleball ?

May want to check the Blue Jays starting rotation

[TheBigHurt35]

BigNuts clueless once again
Been sittin at home in his boxers eating Frosted Flakes and betting the Red Sox the past month

[LT Profits]

Dickey is the only knuckleballer in the majors right now, but the Red Sox may have another one in the bullpen in a month or two named Steven Wright. He through a knuckler 70% of the time in the minors but is currently on the DL following hernia surgery in January. He began a rehab assignment in Double-A yesterday (Memorial Day).

[opie1988]

Guy did a good job. Happy for him.

[LordVodka]

The guy is a beast.

[Big Bear]

He is amazing. Put him in the rotation.
