Jarrod Saltalamacchia Is Rube Baker From Major League II
Jarrod Saltalamacchia is batting .343 in 18 games for Oklahoma City with five doubles, three homers, and an on-base percentage of .400.
Saltalamacchia hit the disabled list with a back injury just two games into the season. Now he’s ready to come back, but Saltalamacchia is struggling with his throws back to the pitcher’s mound. In Salty’s last game, 12 of his throws back to the pitcher landed either short of the mound or in center field. He had five errant throws in the first inning alone.
“He’s just got to keep playing until he gets it right,” RedHawks manager Bobby Jones said. “I don’t know what else to do. It’s a shame. It’s definitely what’s keeping him here. He’s blocking the ball well and swinging the bat well. He’s just got to figure it out. It’s a shame.”
Easy. He just needs to memorize the details of the Victoria’s Secret catalog. But I think he has bigger problems on his hands. What’s he going to do about the circa 1998 Justin Timberlake hair???
