Good Article About Zach Duke

This is something I struggle with, changing (not tweaking)a pitcher's mechanics when everything is working.

Good luck Zach, your HSBBW family is behind you!

One of my friends who is on the 40 man roster said that they messed with his motion and screwed him up totally. he finally had it out with the manager and asked him to do what he did to get him there. He did and that is what got him put on the 40 man roster.

"With spring training still a month away, Huntington said a rotation spot is Duke's to lose."

We are all rooting for you Zach! Duke 'em!!!

Here's hoping for a great season for Zach.

Go Zach!

This is what happened to my older son, he had too many people telling him to change this, change that, he lost all confidence in himself. The younger son, not a flame thrower has had much more success simply because
"coaches didn't believe in him" He has proved himself on the field.

"It's simplifying the thought process," Duke said. "It's, 'OK, this is the pitch I want to throw. This is how it's going to feel. Do it.' There's no doubts...

Congratulations Zach, give your Bride a kiss for me! I hope to see you, and meet her in Atlanta sometime!

Tis in fact right that they messed with already successful mechanics after his rookie season. makes you wonder, do these some of these guys in the big leagues (pitching coaches/hitting coahes)know what they are talking about?

Zach, work hard as always.... and remember we're looking for a number two pitcher down here behind Oswalt!

And, congrats to the newlywed!!!!
