Did Dice-K Serve the Gyro?

And Did Florida Get Fries With That Fish Story?

Eric Wilbur: Did He or Didn't He?

"I don't know if the gyro was what I was seeing, but I was seeing something that's kind of like a split-finger changeup. It's tough to describe. I just know I didn't pick up the spin." -- 3.6.07, Jeremy Hermida, Florida Marlins

Herald: Gyroball Makes �Debut�

� 'It�s a pitch that�s somewhere between a changeup and a splitter but it�s got a sideways spin,� said Jason Stokes of the Marlins. 'It�s like a split, but it�s slower, more movement.'

Stokes had one at-bat against Matsuzaka, a seven-pitch plate appearance with the next to last pitch being the supposed gyroball.

'He threw four different pitches to me - a fastball, slider, gyro and curve,' said Stokes. On the gyro, 'He threw it up and in. I could see it was obviously a ball right away. I�m thinking �Get out of the way.� It kind of backs up on you.' � -- 3.7.07, Boston Herald
