Strive to throw 85 (MPH) thread.

[jjgold]

I don’t get what the point of this is unless Doug is trying out for some league

[Otters27]

If he can throw 85 he might make a League

[SamsNCharge99]

It's a bet Sam. (just out of curiosity how are you already under 500..I've never used them since I was never pro so I'm not even sure what they're good for besides entering contests or SBR store purchases)

i bought $100 of bitcoin

Damn never knew you could by BTC with points.

Can he do it at his age Otter?

All I drink is water with drink mix & it's better with a sweetener (5 yrs ago after Rite Aid accused of me shoplifting (seriously never did) by calling the cops on me who frisked me omw home, I've stolen from there ever since out of pure spite..down to 10 of these after stealing about 50.

oh so you’re pure white trash….and deserve everything you get

[Chi_archie]

Tell you what Arch, let's bet on it. Just gave Sammy 2950 points for winning my Wimb SFs contest so I'll bet you my remaining points (204 +12 extra by tmm) 216, that I'll at least touch 80 MPH tmm. Deal?

sure

deal

[RudyRuetigger]

what is the purpose of throwing 85 ?

I understand wanting to increase tennis serve because you could play other people in tennis

But baseball?

I'm still waiting

[JMobile]

Doug, watch some Kershaw videos

[Doug tushyterror]

I'm still waiting

Silly question Rudy. That's like asking 99.99999% of marathon runners what's the point of entering if you have no chance of winning? Simply trying to set a tough numerical goal & achieve it, nothing more nothing less. Considering I'm 45, barely 5' 8", it would be quite an accomplishment. Heading out in a couple hours, I will post the video later this evening.

Anticipating the video

Dougy

How many lines you gonna do to psych yourself up?

[Skookum]

I'm not a long timer here, so forgive the question. What is your history throwing, Doug? I screwed up my rotator cuff and elbow throwing to little leaguers (coaching). I always figured it was because I wasn't a pitcher when I was young. I couldn't come anywhere near 80, but my accuracy consistently got better. I now have pretty bad tennis elbow. if you don't have that now, I would discourage you doing this. It takes away all your power when doing anything with your arms. It's no picnic. I'm 4 years older than you.

Let’s get it Dougie!

Do 3 key bumps and then 1 big hacker.

[Doug tushyterror]

Let’s get it Dougie!

About ready to set everything up, should be done by 7pm with a vid up by 8pm.

[jjgold]

Doug call me

[Otters27]

This guy Doug is a star in the making

[funnyb25]

Wait....are we throwing for 95mph, or serving in tennis?

[Otters27]

Throw 85 mph baseball and I think he wants to hit 110 mph for his tennis serve

[Doug tushyterror]

This could get tricky Otters, just measured out 60' 6" & it's at least 5' further than where I've been throwing from. Need at least 10' to 15' in space behind to put the radar gun & there's only about 6' to 7' left.

[cincinnatikid513]

good lucks

[lonegambler23]

dougy take a trip out to vegas to see mj like u said u would have before. hes got the best blow in town, u need a vaca.

[cincinnatikid513]

threw 88 in high school prob could been decent w any work ethic fuking lazy and gambling addict not good combo

[Doug tushyterror]

Anybody know the best way to measure since I'm still about 4 inches away from the wall but normally home plate would be much closer so I should probably move up 2 to 3 feet to pitch?

[funnyb25]

Dougy...go get laid man....this is getting out of control...

[Skookum]

The distance isn't that important. Anywear from 50 -70 feet should be fine unless you're concerned with throwing strikes.

[Skookum]

If you throw 85 from 50 ft. away...you threw 85.

[Doug tushyterror]

Dougy...go get laid man....this is getting out of control...

Last bit of minutiae I post before the vid funny.. Exactly 60' 6"

[lonegambler23]

Dougy...go get laid man....this is getting out of control...

Dougy leaving it in the package so he can return it

[Orbison]

a couple requests for these videos you'll be making if you don't mind..

- please make sure they aren't filmed where the imaging is flipped

- please bring a mitt so you can establish a rhythm and stop chasing balls around
