DD's team from last year had a pitcher who's dad was an assistant and his daughter was the #1 pitcher for the team. He always called curve and screwball, this was 10u mind you, so I finally asked dd what the pitch did when she was catching her. She said her curve is an outside fastball and her screwball is an inside fastballI throw up in my mouth everytime this "pitch" is talked about. The screwball, not to be out done by his older brother the "rise screw" and little brother, "drop screw". Pretty soon ESPN's 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist commentator will invent the "backdoor screw" (if it hasn't been invented already). And those parents who actually believe their kid has 8 pitches at 10 yrs old? These are the same nutjobs that will make the post game dinner depend on a win or loss. A win gets you steak somewhere, a loss you get Spaghetti O's. I'd almost rather have Casey Anthony for a parent instead!
