I dont know if anyone else has been watching this series.
I watched a bit of one game tonight.
Whats up with the one Oakland pitcher.
His pitching method is kind of a side arm swing however he bounces the ball with a wicked curve like 3-4 feet on the turf infront of him. The ball then regains height and goes through the strike zone with a WICKED curve. It kinda shocked me, I wasnt sure this was even legal!
Has anyone seen this? I will look for a video of it.

Just watching him pitch drove me nuts and I am hardly a baseball fan. I assume what he is doing is legal then?
It sure is working for him though, he was striking them left right and center!
