rick ankiel vs. rockies ....

prodigy · May 7, 2008

are you serious? 2 of the most impressive throws in well over a season. to say its one of the best performances of this season doesnt do it justice. still not sure if his comeback was on the up and up. but his pure talent is nuts albeit still raw. friggin ropes from center.

Holy shit. I don't know if i've ever seen a guy (especially a fast guy) get thrown out tagging from second on a ball that deep. The second play was fucking absurd. What a cannon.

If someone can post the YouTube clip. I don't watch Sportscenter.

asufan550 · May 7, 2008

Not on the youtube yet. Everybody should see this though. Absolutely incredible.

Clint pretty much blew a gasket on the reporters questioning those two plays after the game.

Number_9 · May 7, 2008

Wow, thanks for posting this -- I might have missed it. That second throw looked like something out of a video game. Glaus didn't even have to move.

That is barely human.

unreal talent

Visual evidence is necessary

go to the cardinals team website pretty sure they are up on there I just don't have the video posting skills or I would put them in here. Both throws were right on the money and both ended innings.

Thanks for the video Prodigy,
damn that is special stuff there.

It would be absolutely sickening if he ever tried pitching again and became a stud. Gotta think in the deep recesses of the mind, Larussa has to be thinking that with Isringhausen's inconsistency.

In between the throws in the innings he hit a HR as well....

BadCo · May 7, 2008

Some bitch and i needed Rockies last night.

jasin4000 · May 7, 2008

Makes me wonder why he was ever a pitcher...with a strong bat and that arm.

Wonder if it was his decision to go on the mound earlier in his career or ?

FairWarning · May 7, 2008

As good as the first play was, the second one was incredible.

Doug · May 7, 2008

He learned that from Johnny Damon.

I can say with almost 100% accuracy that his career hasn't been on the up and up. I played against him in high school as well as know a couple guys that played with him in the minors and lets just say, the stories are he took more than just roids and hgh.
