Daisuke Matsuzaka does not, I repeat, does not throw the famed gyroball. It's a fallacy. It's a myth. It simply, utterly does not exist. That is what Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated is telling us today.Here's the truth: Matsuzaka's changeup is so wicked, so unlike most every changeup anyone has seen, that people don't know what to make of it. Matsuzaka has told me he does not throw the gyroball. Every Red Sox staff member and official I've talked with said he does not throw it.So, the dude just has a really good changeup. I was anxious to see the pitch in action at some point, to marvel at its odd rotation and see hitters flat out mystified at the plate. I guess I'll still see that, in the form of Dice-K's changeup.
"What the Marlins thought was the gyro was the changeup," one of the Boston sources said. "That's what people think is the gyro. It's his best pitch."
Said another Red Sox insider, "Japan is famous for copious scouting reports. If you throw a pitch once in your life the scout will include it in the report. Dice-K enjoys letting people think he throws it. There's no harm in it. Why not just give them one more thing to think about?"
Either way though, I feel cheated, used and abused.
