I saw Brian Fuentes last night. WOW! What a funky motion he's got. It's a lot wiereder than Mike Myers.

I remember hearing of Craig House, but I never saw him pitch. Any video of that motion on the net?

Anyone else have a really funky delivery

Yeah - since I don't have the MLB package anymore and can't stay up for west coast games I forgot about him.

But Fuentes looks like his arm DOES fall off....

You can't get that much funkier than Ben Weber if you ask me...

Rocker sucked last night, but he's done something horrendous with his stretch delivery. Looks painful.

House or Kyle Peterson (now gone) were my favorite psycho deliveries.

Are some of these "weird because they are sidearm" assessments?

Nomo's certainly qualifies as "odd" in any era.

Nomo's windup is still one of the alltimers. Have not seen Fuentes. Weber is definitely one of the funkiest. Miss the days of Tiant, Marichal, et al. Though cannot root for him still love watching Kevin Brown bring it with his windup. That's a classic delivery.

Weber is very strange...eerily strange. :D

That Chad Bradford guy on Oakland's sidearm comes so low, it looks like he's going to hit the ground on each pitch...

Randy Choate is also strange - -of course, made doubly strange by his inability to throw strikes consistently. ;)

Thanks for reminding me about Tiant, QT. I loved the way he'd turn his back to the batter and look towards CF before delivering the pitch. He was a very funny guy in the clubhouse too, from what I've read.

I mimicked his delivery with a batter during a game back in the 80s, and the guy actually got angry with me! Cracked me up. Then I struck him out.

It looks like chad bradfords side arm is going to hit the ground because he's not a sidearmer. He's a submariner.

Mike Myers always looks to me like he is bowling, not pitching.

Love Ben Webber's delivery. Reminds me of The expansion Senators' Bob Humphries.
