Baseball at LSU, Sun 6/25, 3:00 pm EDT

No links I have thrown both. Fork is a bit of a tumbler , split has a arm side dive

 

I’m not wing but in our day the action of the pitch was pretty much the same flight patterns—the difference was the fork was less velo more like a change up. The split that Waldrep throws has more velo (generally 87-90mph).

 

Not lately, this is their first trip there since we beat them in 2017

 

23 team tied with 12 team with most wins in school history. 53

 

People don’t let 74Nole fool ya . He threw it 98-101. Wing threw it 84-86.. you guys decide .
yea Wing did have a hammer,

 

Uhh, you know every freaking thing you throw from the left side has arm side dive!

 

Waldrep's pitch has been called a split-change (and I can't see any difference between that and the NPB standard issue forkball).

So.. if in your day.. a split-fingered fastball and a changeup loved each other very much (etc.) -- how would the result compare to Waldrep's "down'em, swing, miss, grab some pine" pitch or the standard-issue forkball? (Not trying to disrespect either of you.. just trying to learn something!)

 

But that was the old version of 98-101 Chap, not this new gun stuff.

 

Lets Go Gators! Lets see how we react with our backs against the wall!

 

Lineups posted. Ours is, like the Talking Heads sang, "Same as it ever was." Facing Ackenhausen.

 

To me @neutrino_boi the tumbling darting action on Waldrep’s split is coming at you with more velo while doing the diving/darting thing. So you’re fighting faster abrupt movement with the split.

The true fork is almost first cousin to the knuckle ball IMHO. I believe it was Mike Scott in the MLB that threw the fork ball as his primary pitch.

 

Earl Ackenhausen—Never heard of him….

 

Did we recruit Crews? He has won the spikes award. Isn't he a Florida kid?

 

His last name in German means "unhappy house". Hope we can make it so.

 

Crews and White are Florida Guys and were top recruits out of HS- sorry we missed on them.

 

May our boys put 7 or 8 runs him on him in the first two innings and enjoy some quality Schadenfreude!

 

Just popping in for this epic win coming up.
