@Frederick0220 not really

[Frederick0220]

@ontheotherhandx6 FAIL SO HARD UNIVERSITY SON

[ontheotherhandx6]

@Frederick0220 and then you realize just how little the difference between 'drop-and-drive' and 'tall-and-fall' really is..

[Frederick0220]

@ontheotherhandx6 LOL, wow, you're completely off. Kershaw has a pause when he lifts up his GS leg, but he is drop-and-drive and gains a great deal of momentum off his back leg (something that Maples does poorly). Comparing Maples' delivery to Kershaw's would be like comparing elementary school mystery meat to filet mignon. I mean, you literally picked the worst guy to compare Maples to mechanically. Better luck next time!

@Frederick0220 you know that very well describes clayton kershaw's delivery, except from the opposite side. i'm sure you're a pro scout though and your opinion on players' mechanics actually holds water.

[Frederick0220]

@iDoWorKxZ Look at his dreadfully slow tempo, tall-and-fall delivery, and right leg lagging behind his body like it's paralyzed.

[iDoWorKxZ]

@Frederick0220 If retarded means beautiful then you are spot on

[Frederick0220]

His mechanics looks retarded for a lack of a better word.
