Post by: shelley on December 14, 2007, 08:45:16 PM: Mike's a free agent. I don't think he's been on a ball staff in a long time, none that I remember anyway. There was a post about him throwing RG at the tournament and it's possible he will for the show, but he's not on staff unless that changed this week (which we'd've heard about). He's been throwing a lot of Storm recently on TV.

Yes, he is shown that way. Yet the RG web site shows only Brian Kretzer & Brian LeClair???

Maybe he's still regretting what he said on the Masters show about league bowlers and has been mentally paying the price on the show ever since.

Word.. He just makes me want to turn the TV off. He is so ugly with his bald head and bug eyes.. Just makes it more funny when he misses a spare.

Post by: Mustang Guy on December 17, 2007, 08:40:45 AM: Yes Mark and Mike are under contract for incentive only. They do not throw Roto Grip exclusively.

On a lighter note it was nice to see a Roto Grip logo on the tv show. Incidently the shirt he was wearing is the new shirt we are using for the Cell Series. The first one for the cell is a navy/red color combination.

Wish Mike had won his first match and had an opportunity to change to the Cell, but there is always next week!

Thanks,

Post by: matt1286 on December 17, 2007, 08:44:11 AM: There are 2 guarantees when Scroggins makes a TV show........

1. He will miss a single pin spare
2. He Will lose his match

He is almost too predictable.

Post by: mttmar1975 on December 17, 2007, 11:30:12 AM: He may have missed some spares but fifth out of 64, thats not too shabby. Give the guy some credit! and its his second or third appearance so he's not bowling that bad.

Post by: mrbowlingnut on December 17, 2007, 11:49:23 AM: I like scroggy and think he has more talent and is much better than most of us dreamed of being, he can hook a ball plenty watched him last year at the Vegas stop the entire day.

Never saw him wiff a single pin spare or miss any spare when i watched him, his roll is better live than you think.

I could care less what a bowler looks like as long he is trying his best at all times, Mike gives you all he has no matter what happens.

Post by: revTrex on December 17, 2007, 12:44:13 PM: ^^^

I don't think the ball mattered. He had a fine look with Roto Sunday, and a fine look with Storm a few weeks ago. You have to also remember that the lanes are different each week, as are the oil patterns.

Plus, it's not the ball that makes the difference when you miss single pin spares and/or miss your mark on shots.

What did Scroggins say about league bowlers at the Masters?

He said something like "Threw that one like a league bowler" when he threw a questionable shot and still struck. I can't say it was a really terrible shot, but he thought so.

Since then he's missed two or three single pin spares that I can remember and lost just about every match he's been in on TV. I understand that no one is perfect on single pins, but when he misses them, everyone notices.

I can't say the Roto and Storm balls he's been throwing have looked bad. Almost everything looks good in the hands of a pro. "Almost", because he sure isn't making me want to buy a Denny's spare ball.

Post by: TheDude on December 17, 2007, 01:36:07 PM: Lets keep in mind that he was the highest average league bowler in the ABC record books before Jeff Carter broke that record a few years ago.

SO, if you average 250 in league for an entire season you aren't shooting at many spares, but hey you can't afford to miss them either.

Mike makes lots of TV shows. It's exposure and that's what counts.

Post by: Raven829 on December 17, 2007, 01:42:52 PM: Mike had a pretty good Sunday regardless. Like Matt said, 5th is nothing to sneeze at. On another similar note, he played in one of my FF leagues. I knocked him out of the playoffs yesterday

Post by: mttmar1975 on December 17, 2007, 02:26:23 PM: Amen to that. Mike is a great bowler and we are lucky to have him throwing Roto Grip equipment. I know he will work out whatever spare issues he is having and win some matches in the near future.

Post by: Track_Fanatic on December 17, 2007, 08:42:32 PM: I find it interesting that when he makes the show and threw Track, people were blaming/bashing the equipment he was using. It's nice to finally see that people are realizing with Mike, it's not the equipment.

"OH...he left an open...well, he wont let happen again...."

Sorry couldnt help myself. Mike is a great bowler even though he isnt "easy on the eyes". It has gotten mental for him, he either whiffs a single of throws a washout and thats it for him.
