A Series Of Pictures In Which Josh Wilson Looks Awkward And Out Of Place

by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 26, 2010 2:52 PM PDT in Miscellaneous

There was a time when I didn't know what I thought about SBN importing AP photos for blog use. That Jeff didn't understand the advantages he'd been given.

Based on pretty much every Josh Wilson picture in my photoset, he looks like a guy who is perpetually playing the first professional baseball game of his life.

What is Ichiro doing in that last picture?

Is that a high-three?

He does this all the time in the post game little league pre-pizza-feed GOODGAME line

it’s basically a peace-sign high five, sometimes he touches the other hand and sometimes he doesn’t.

I was at Yankees Stadium in 2007

Watched a game where Wilson hit a ball to left field that Hideki Matsui just missed. Josh Wilson hit a triple. Made my day.

Does he grip the ball weird when he throws?

I always use something like a split finger grip with two fingers on the top of the ball and my thumb under but it looks like he throws the ball with his whole hand.

I find it easier to throw with a 3 or 4 finger grip when making quick turns.

Did you ever do this with the Kotchface?

I went through the Miscellaneous archives and had trouble finding it. Or thinking of a situation where Kotchman didn’t seem terrified.

There was one I'd like to see .gif-ed

There was one game where he was at the plate and there was a runner on first that was straying. The pitch was inside, which scared him enough to spin out of hte way, but then the catcher threw behind him to try to pick off the runner, so it was “AH!…. (spin) AHHHH!”

I don’t remember what game it was aside from I made the gamethread at USSM.
