What is going on in the PBA?
« on: February 03, 2008, 08:49:51 PM »
Barnes fiasco in the TOC?

Ciccone's big whiff?

Scroggy throws it "like a league bowler" and splits the tenth?

Fagan whiffs?

Seriously, were we spoiled watching guys excel under pressure?  I watch to see them excel when it counts.  

People love golf b/c they want to see Tiger do things they cannot.  I watch every week in amazement of what that guy does.  I am amazed by what I see on the PBA telecasts but for different reasons, however, it does make for entertaining television.

Maybe the planets are out of alignment....

Sign me up.....the sponsors won't be able to contain their wallets.


Actually I would like to see that sort of game.

Yeah, same here.  They are every bit as good as the male pro's.

And what is the problem with a spare ball only going 17 MPH?  I usually only throw my spares are around 15-16 MPH and do just fine.

Actually the ratings were higher when the women were on the show this year than when the men were by themselves.

I'll watch em'.

ANd that was an easy spare Ciccone missed.  He didn't even come close, let alone not getting 1 of the 2.  And he threw straight at it.  The pattern had nothing to do with him missing way left.  If anything he should have missed right if it was the tough pattern's fault.

One thing to remember, these guy are doing this on patterns that you and I would average 30 pins a game less on (give or take).


The results we have been seeing for the past few years make me doubt that.

 Having just bowled a PBA regional this weekend, and tugging one about a board inside my mark and watching it leave the 3-4-6-7, to esentially lose my match, I understand how these shots can make someone look "average". It's not like they are doing this on some easy china house shot. So the average league bowler (not saying you are this agroves) needs to take things like this into account before thinking these guys are "failing".

Many regionals can be hard, very hard.  No doubt abut that.

Even taking that into account, the fiascos that Agroves mentioning are worth more serious consideration than sheer dismissal because you or I have seen some very hard regional conditions.

throwing your spare ball at a single pin spare must not be a bad thing. walter ray williams, jr.'s spare ball is almost always thrown slower than his strike ball.
