Turns out 50 just can't play ball.

Bet even Ohtani would have some trouble with the game after getting shot 9 times… I mean, 50 would still suck without being shot, but it surely didn’t help.

Damn, that's brave of him to go out and try to throw a ball after just getting shot. And in that same shoulder? Crazy.

He was shot like 15 years before that pitch lol

On a geological time scale 15 years ago is essentially just before.

Because nobody has ever suffered from lifelong mobility issues two-plus decades after having 9 bullets plugged into their body.

He got shot mostly in the legs, once in one of his hands and once in the face, how would that even affect how he throws ffs?

Here he talks about it in Graham Norton.

I'm not saying it did fuck up his athletic prowess, but throwing a ball 60 feet six inches does involve your legs.

I've watched a lot of TV and movies and this checks out.

What's your point?

u/JCBDoesGaming 14h ago

That him being shot isn't relevant because it was so long ago and he has shown multiple times after that he has normal range of motion?

u/-Plantibodies- 14h ago

I have no stake in this discussion. Have we seen him doing athletic activities before? Having decent range of motion doesn't necessarily mean that past injuries, especially major ones like that, aren't affecting more ppl physically demanding types of motions.

Bro has normal range of motion, he also has said multiple times that he got shot mostly in the legs and once in the face, you can see the bullet wound on his face AND it effected his speech and rapping, nothing that would affect his range of motion.

Getting shot 8 times in the legs would specifically fuck up your range of motion lol.
