What pitcher has your favorite/least favorite delivery?

[badnews]

My favorite's is Pat Neshek because there's a whole lot of funny business going on in that delivery.

 

My least favorite is Scott Elarton or Craig Hansen because both of them are kind of boring and straightforward. Does Elarton even have a difference between the wind-up and the stretch? Haven't seen him in a while. Also Keith Foulke. I also don't like LaTroy's new delivery.

 

Honorable mentions for favorite: Chris Ray, former Cub Clay Rapada (it's like Brian Shouse + Mike Myers x 1000 = Clay Rapada), Tim Lincecum because it makes him look cool, Jake Peavy because even when I watch it in slow motion there's a part of it I can't quite see, and K-Rod's delivery is a lot of fun.

[El Rojito]

Favorites:

 

Pat Neshek

K-Rod

Paul Byrd, especially when he does the double windup

 

Least favorite:

Can't seem to think of many at the moment, but possibly Heath Bell

[RedFlash]

Can't stand Dontrelle Willis, cause I feel like I am going to pull MY HAMSTRING, just watching him perform that high leg kick.

 

As for my favorite, it has to be Lincecum. He's delivery says to me, "hey batter, here's my rear end.........now kiss it, as I am about to jam a 98 mph FB past you."

[UMFan83]

I actually like Rich Harden's delivery for one.

 

One I can't stand is Keith Foulke

:D

 

Agree on both counts!

 

This might get me kicked off a Cubs board, but I've stared and marveled at footage of Bob Gibson - the guy was practically on the first base line after releasing the ball.

love: rick sutcliffe, ryan dempster

 

hate: can't think of any

[Tracer Bullet]

I hate Dempster's glove waggle. I also hate Dice-Ks butt wiggle. I like the high leg kicks, but did Marichal ever kick the ball out of his hand? That would suck.

 

I also like tiny tim's delivery. Cracked me up watching it this weekend.

[Friendly Confines]

I like Lincecum, Hoffman, and Volquez and can't stand Contreras, Redman, and Sabathia's

[bcl412]

I hate Mike Mussina's delivery. It takes him too damn long to throw the ball.

[Roast]

Ted Lilly's annoys me.

 

I think Lincecum's is awesome but Mike Fetters wins the all time award for the hilarious head snap.

love: rick sutcliffe, ryan dempster

 

hate: can't think of any

 

I always tried to emulate rick sutcliffe when i was an 8 year old on the mound.

 

there was someone pitching in a game against the cubs not too long ago that I remember being really annoyed with, but i cant recall who it was

[cubweiser03]

Tim Lincecum pisses me off. Looks like a lot of guys here like it, it irritates me.

Mike Mussina out of the stretch.

Jack Morris, didnt care for his.

Mark Pawelek. Just looking at his delivery they never should of drafted him. Jacked up.

 

Sutcliffe. I liked the flick of the wrist.

Zumaya. Dude throws 104 and make it look eeeasy.

Daryl Kile. I loved the over the top curve.

Sidewinders. Love those guys. Dan Quiz was the man.

 

Matt Anderson had the most violent freaking delivery i have ever seen. No wonder he didnt last long.

[rawaction]

Lincecum has the most BA delivery I have ever seen.

 

I agree with this.

[Derwood]

also hate Dennis Eckersly's

[Transmogrified Tiger]

My favorite is probably Chad Bradford.

[weis21]

I used to like Nomo's when I was a kid.
