I'm pretty sure it ain't gonna be Jim Joyce, USA Today is way off on that. He's not even in the crew that's supposed to be in Oakland tonite. It's supposed to be either Tim Welke or Greg Gibson. If the rotation follows the Atl/Chi series, then it should be Welke, but gsp thinks it's Gibson, so your best bet is to wait until 30min before game time to find out who exactly is behind HP.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Franky,
I still work with sophmore and junior aged kids on pitching at the local high school in the off season. I totally blew out my whole shoulder from pitching so much and so often as a kid. At 19 I had total reconstruction, rotator cuff, labrum, reshaping of the shoulder socket, bone spurs on my collar bone. Throwing overhand is the most unnatural motion in life. That's why fastpitch women can throw everyday. Underhand is natural. Overhand goes against all the laws of physics regarding the make up and stucture of the Shoulder, Elbow, Upper back, forearm, and wrist. Throwing a curveball does more damage than any other pitch because to have an effective one your arm speed has to be similiar to a fast ball, yet you have to hold something back and create the action of the ball through a hard "snap" of the wrist and elbow while trying not to overgrip. The best way I can explain the damage that each pitch does to an arm is imagine throwing a punch...trying to hit a guy as hard as you can...and you know in your heart of hearts that you're gonna hit this guy square in the nose, but at the last second he moves and all that force and action you created that was supposed to be absorbed by this guy's face is now absorbed right back through your arm into your elbow and shoulder and upper back. So I work with kids on how to make the baseball work for you as a pitcher instead of overthrowing. Those laces are on the ball for a reason and these kids just want to rear back and let it fly. Less Than 5 Hours Fellas!!!!!
Thanks Franky and ddubs
