Media Paulo Costa throws first pitch at New York Mets game *Update: now with video*

[IIIIIIII]

Throwing off a mound is weird

nah, not really. i mean with anything, you get used to it. i never had any issues with it, anyway.

The Bushes were at least good Baseball players. But he still botched a first pitch last year from close distance.

Man, these guys need to take lessons from Joanna on how to throw a ball.

she threw it so well because she did what most people don't do when they throw. she started it off with a wind-up. doing that helps you keep yourself balanced and your entire body is in sync. if you just throw with your arm, it's like you're throwing a dart. a lot less likely to be accurate.

I am constantly surprised at the number of people who can’t throw a ball.

My point is, literal children can throw a strike from 60 feet.

And my point was your didn't master it. You did it, like 99.9 prent of americans (he's not American and baseball barely exist in his country) and it was a fucking joke broski just laugh and move on

I like her music

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

What children are those??? I probably couldn't do it now.

I mean to someone who's never does it before

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yep. She makes good music. I have very flexible music tastes. I love Led Zeppelin and I love Carly Rae Jepsen.

What are you, 12 years old? Making fun of someone cause of the music they like? Grow up, dude. High school is over.

And didn’t try to throw hard.

The funny part is that baseball and her go back and Harvard baseball helped her song go viral.

I guess that's one reason why you see so few super muscular pitchers

Show muscle vs strength

It's quite amazing how many guest pitchers utterly fail to throw a baseball 18meters to a man waiting to catch it. I mean FFS I could throw a ball prob around 3 times that distance as a 12 or 13yr old with zero practice and in tbe EXACT direction I intended.

Thrown off a mound will definitely mess most people up, but you'd still expect a grown man to be able to soft toss a ball in a general direction.

Dude never chucked rocks into lakes as a kid or what?

 

[kahymo]

somebody remove the wine bottles in Costa room

 

[OmegaRugal]

He would be better than most of the Mets right now

 

[El Fernas]

It's crazy how much I took being able to throw a baseball for granted as a kid back when I used to play in a league. Most of these celebs and athletes throwing these first pitches and fumbling it really opened my eyes ngl lol.

Its so weird, i mean, its not like they have NEVER watched baseball, and even if they didnt, once you get invited to do that, well, you watch examples of what you are supposed to do, maybe practice a little, almost every "first pitch" looks weird and out of place, Grasso did OK not that long ago actually, but its so weird to watch athletes and celebrities do SO bad at it.

 

[El Fernas]

He did better than Carly Rae Jepsen did lmao

Male athete does barely better than some pop singing chick...not impressed with his performance.

My team it to state finals in the LLWS, and the team we lost to had 3 future pros and went to the LLWS finals and played Japan.

At that age, I was a master of the sport.
