What's with those stupid necklaces Pitchers wear?

ivyconniver · Aug 21, 2007

I guess the're supposed to be filled with Titanium, and the company claims they are "effective in controlling the flow of bioelectric current", and "promote pain relief and performance enhancement".

Please. All it is is a stupid looking plastic necklace. I can't believe professional players are falling for this astrological mumbo jumbo. I need to invent some piece of crap, make up a bullshit scientific study claiming it does everything except give you a blowjob, and sell it for tons of money. :ughhh:

I have strong suspicions that they are being paid to wear those. Meaning, after you have your piece of crap manufactured you will need to spend tons of money to convince people to buy it.

They are made by Phiten. They are woven with titanium, which is supposed to increase blood flow, which helps to work the lactic acid out your arm, which is what makes your arm sore. This is exactly what icing your arm does, so in theroy wearing the neckless does the same thing as throwing on some ice after you throw. They actually do work a little, but there is just no excuse for Levan Hernandez to wear 10!

I've always had some slight pain in my right arm and shoulder for about the last 10 years. Does anybody have a website for them necklaces. I might have to give them babies a try

I think that look is awesome!

Over half the Red Sox team is wearing these things and rocking hemp necklaces and stuff like that. And I notice many others in MLB doing stuff like that too.

So nice to see instead of Gold and Platinum chain "Hey, I make a lot of money!" crap. (Remember Deion sanders?!)

Hedeki got the THICK hemp rope. And Becks has some thing with a heart on it with some other chain (probably the titanium one mentioned above).

I just think it's cool. Very down to earth.

I picked up on this about a month or so into the season. I got some earth grey hemetite beads and a small little hemp rope I wear now. I love it.

Jesus, I can't believe you guys are all jumping on this bus! It's $25 for a plastic necklace that may or may not have some metal inside it.

I don't see ANY evidence that wearing this thing will make your body feel better. It's the same as those copper bracelets everyone was wearing 10 years ago.

Have you ever worn one? And have you done numerous studies on their effectiveness? Seems like you have it out for these necklaces.

No, I've never worn one, why would I? Just because the company who sells it claims it makes you feel better? You've gotta be a real donkey to believe that.

Here's a study I have done. Anyone who paypal's $25 to my account will lose weight, become more attractive, and take better shits in the morning.

Money back garauntee if it doesn't work after 6 months.

Are the players allowed to wear exposed jewelry on the field? I didn't think it was allowed for safety reasons as it could be distracting to a batter if the pitcher has a necklace on.

this only shows how much of an idiot most people are

but that might need to be listed here...

I got to say that the Phiten neckless has turned into more fashion than anything else, but their products do work. Golfers have used titanium bracelets for a long time now and many swear by them. A lot of pitchers use compression sleeves to help keep inflammation down. I never thought they did much, but i did use the Phiton compression sleeve and was amazed how loose my arm would be after games. I thought there was probably some level of placebo effect to this but i gave it to a buddy of mine who was still in college at the time and in the game i saw him throw he went 8 innings and 110+ pitches. He asked if he could wear the arm sleeve to bed, i of coarse said sure, and he said when he got to the field the next morning he said it felt like he never even threw the day before. The guy throws in the 90's so he puts considerable strain on his arm too. Its Gypsy magic! If any of you guys have kids that pitch get them one, they are legit!

What's with those stupid necklaces Pitchers wear?
