Teheran

[Jaypers]

How'd you like to face this?

"Tell that guy to throw me his fastball."

 

[NECpilgrims8]

Umm, ok. He has a curve.

I don't get it.

BTW, that is the longest last name on the back of a braves jersey since Saltalamacchia.

That GIF does not depict a "Sharp, late-breaking downer".

Show me one from Teheran's viewpoint.

I don't know how he is able to throw so many pitches, so quickly, without ever tiring. Does he ever stop?

It will catch up with him. Joe West would love this guy, he'd speed up the game on his own!!

with a guy like Teheran, the results speak for themselves at this point.

Have you ever seen him pitch in person? Watch him sometime and you're view will change, no doubt.

I don't think his point was that Teheran isn't good or doesn't have good stuff, just that the pitch in the video isn't all that impressive. And I agree, it isn't. It appears to back up a bit.

 

[mazarazz]

way over hyped at this point, not a knock on him specifically. he's the type of player sports card guys LOVE.

I don't think he will ever stop. I know this kid never did...

undersized and skinny with bad mechanics?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that, Adam

Really? That's weird.... I collect 3 players; Henderson, Sabathia and Jennings. None of their names are particularly long, especially when compared to something like Saltalamacchia, but all 3 of their names are longer than Teheran.


A little more research... Teheran has 7 letters, and that is almost the most they allow a Brave to have this year, but these players have him beat:

Alex Gonzalez
Eric O'Flaherty
--
Kyle Farnsworth
Kenshin Kawakami
Diory Hernandez
Cristhian Martinez

These last 4 played less than 20 games this year.... so maybe you guys really are onto something! Not many long last names on that team. They need Saltalamacchia back, he has 14 letters!

They are referring to the catcher, check out the back of his jersey.

 

[blanning71]

NEC beat me to it but DAYUM! Thats a long name on the back of the catchers uni! Good googa mooga!
