So now you understand it's not the standard inverted W. Look at you understanding something about baseball outside a stat line. :thumleft:

I see what you're saying, but that picture doesnt really look like it.

What?

It is an inverted W, which is bad.

It is scap loading, which is bad.

So...where is the good part? Two wrongs make a right? Is this Gaza?

Code:
WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL IT THE "M"?
I didn't coin the term, the "Inverted W." Instead, I believe the term Inverted W was coined by Paul Nyman.

I'm just sticking with his terminology since it's already out there.

In fact, when I first started noticing the pattern, and before I knew that Paul Nyman called it the Inverted W, I just called it "The M".


There are three "Inverted letter" pitching mechanics. I believe the reason is that the term "inverted" calls it out as being bad. The Inverted W, L, and V are all considered mechanics that lead to issues.

I'm wrong...Nyman likes the Inverted W. Not sure then.

If only he gave up all of those earned runs in the first inning, it would have been a better outing...

Mark Prior used the inverted W.

I've often wondered, "Why don't they just call it the M?"

Dammit. :lol:

See, there is no way that this can't be a common thought.
