It's the name of the slow curve he throws.

Named as such because he "flips" it out of his hand

Flip = Flipper = Dolphin. God sports nicknames are stupid.

You have been told to capitalize and not use chatspeak twice already.

You are treading on little water.

Well, he was told in the game thread after posting this.

He posted this one at 11.

I agree with enforcing the rules, but his first warning did come after this post…

Unless his first warning wasn’t the one that came to day. In which case, ignore me.

Notes are for others as well.

Public record of enforcement so other people will stop bitching that we don’t enforce the rules with an even-hand.

Griffey's classic walk-up song.

We used to all move our hands side to side for it when he was a Mariner for the first time. Until they played the song four times on his bobble head night, the Seattle crowd forgot that they used to do that for pretty much every Junior AB.

ok so its a throw back to Griffey.

I was disturbed by the shot of the ‘dancing’ when the Sox were just out there, that explains it.

The Dolphin is a new pitch that he started throwing this year.

It’s been moderately effective, and has contributed some to his improved numbers, though the defense is the biggest thing contributing to his success this year. It’s just a big 65-70 MPH breaking ball
