Have you received any threats from the families of the "good people" involved in the assault? I know you're dealing with some assholes on twitter, but the people involved seem to have money/connections and that would be a little scary for me.

Very good to hear!

And yeah, I can't imagine how you could be painted on the wrong side of this. Some folk may have tweeted out names of the entire group with personal info, but you quietly reported everything to the police and released nothing but photos. Kudos, man

eh, most of the guys who utilize it throw souped-up stuff, largely in part due to the inverted-w. It may cause injury (and from what I've seen, only when a pitcher is fatigued does it start causing serious issues), but what it allows pitchers to do is, for lack of a better term, fucked up. Strasburg throws upper 90s with mid-80s sweeping breaking balls because he generates so much power from that position. So it's a bit of a trade-off, and if you think you can keep yourself in the great shape it takes to repeat your mechanics on the 110th pitch of a game, the video-game stuff it can allow you to throw may be worth it
