Moyer is my favorite.

appleshampoo - March 4, 2010 reply

Hahahahaha!

David Aardsma isn’t even looking at the plate and I burst out laughing when I saw the Mariah Carey one.

Slurvey - March 4, 2010 reply

Even more unsettling than Crazy Pitch Face:

Normal Pitch Face.

YES!

A Positive Paul classic, and a classic – CLASSIC – normal pitch face: Mr. Ryan Feierabend.
Get a Josh Fields-style pitch face, Ryan, and you might add an MPH or 2 on your fastball.

This is Derek Zoolander pitch face.

And this

PositivePaul - March 4, 2010 reply

A new one, but a great one

(forgot where I saw this… Proball NW? Can’t remember.)

Yes! I forgot about this one

And is he even pitching?

Catch face!

Alexander Calloway - March 4, 2010 reply

So is this the new faces?

Pitch Face With Elbow

Impossible

Pitch Face With Humility then

Easy to be humble when you just pitched your face

HOLY SHIT THERE IT IS

YES

Griffin Cooper - March 4, 2010 reply

Did the Nazis just open the Ark of the Covenant?

Hmmm...

PositivePaul - March 4, 2010 reply

Ha! I love you so hard.

It looks funnier imagining his elbow as his shoulder.

Almost as if he was from Ethiopia or some other malnourished country.

Wilder. - March 4, 2010 reply

Stroke face.

THE FUCK?

vivaelpujols - March 4, 2010 reply

I caught one of those while I was fishing last weekend.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Graham MacAree - March 4, 2010 reply

This kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

InSpokane - March 4, 2010 reply

Me, too.

Teej - March 7, 2010 reply

Dickey's pitch face is still my favorite

HIDE THE KIDS

appleshampoo - March 4, 2010 reply

I cannot believe I forgot this one

Dickey is the guy who got me to notice Pitch Face in the first place.

Exactly. I was waiting for the punchline that never came!

I love Dickey pitch face

It’s my favorite. Bedard overbite is in second place.

Dicky

I love this guy.

SethGrandpa - March 4, 2010 reply

WATZ UUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Aww...geez...that's awesome!

ThundaPC - March 4, 2010 reply

It makes me giggle now, but I most certainly have nightmares tonight.

I wanted you to succeed so very badly, RA.

BrianL - March 4, 2010 reply

I need to just add this to the post

Somehow it's even better at the end of all of those

I wanted to end with a bang

With that face, Dickey may be the one ending with a bang.

There was an Ubaldo Jimenez one on the front page of MLB.com at one point last year

If anyone by some miracle has a screenshot of it that would be amazing – by far the best one I’ve ever seen. He looked like an alien/velociraptor

Griffin Cooper - March 4, 2010 reply

JESUS FUCK ITS RIGHT ABOVE ME

Griffin Cooper - March 4, 2010 reply

Big Unit feels left out

I think so, yes.

I’m dying.

It's going to take a lot to top this

Oh baby

Alexander Calloway - March 4, 2010 reply

KILL IT!

Slurvey - March 4, 2010 reply

Matches the feelings of every Mariner fan watching

"I'm sad."

Kirk - March 4, 2010 reply

He looks like his icecream fell off the cone.

Silva: "I may have a heart attack"

There is this guy from boston.

King Felix

Tui likes to watch.

Slurvey - March 4, 2010 reply

You guys gonna do it or what

blueside714 - March 4, 2010 reply

Ew, ew, ew!

He’s looking at Felix like a sandwich.

This is just amazing, there's so much to talk about here. Wow.

Silva: This might be the last time we see each other. I want your soft lips on mine, again…just this once.
Felix: Ummmm there are peopleeee waaattchhinnggg
Tui: Yeh yeh. Oooh yeah. This is hot. Come on, come on….get that. Tap that.
Batista: Ha! I’m going to be LOLing all the way to the ROLF. Durrrrrrrrrrr

This thread is making me cry.

It appears

that you have coined the term.

My favourite link in that search?

The one where Helvetica broke the guy’s computer. Evil evil evil font.

Helvetica can do a lot worse than break your computer.

Could be worse.

JY - March 4, 2010 reply

See?!?!?!

I told you!!!!

Pitch face is very similar to a phenomenon in the music world

Drum face.

Which, in turn, is quite similar to O-face.

See?

That guy looks way too happy for drum face.

Have you never seen Office Space?

Several times.

Okay, nevermind

I failed at something here.

Don't you mean

Guitar Face?
(Oh wait, you’re a drummer, right?)

Yes

Guitar face is in a whole other category.
Then again, all of it looks like the person involved is having a stroke.

section331 - March 5, 2010 reply

Musician Face is amazing

Guitar solos definitely take the cake, like this:

seattle_since_81 - March 4, 2010 reply

BB King definitely has the best guitar face.

I Lick Squirrels - March 4, 2010 reply

Chewbacca pitching face

This looks eerily like

every other Chewbacca face. And what the hell is Leia doing there?

Want to start a huge ruckus? Just say these words in a crowded room...any crowded room:

“You mean, Chewbacca isn’t a bear?”

BRKLN M'S - March 4, 2010 reply

YES

Fearless Frog - March 7, 2010 reply

Here are some I could find:

SeaKoala - March 4, 2010 reply

That Moyer shot is awesome...

looks like he left his dentures in the clubhouse.

Jer Bear - March 4, 2010 reply

You know... cause he's old. Get it?

Jer Bear - March 4, 2010 reply

I used to say that there were times you could tell exactly what Moyer was going to look like as an old man.

not ever expecting he’d hang around long enough to show us what he’d look like as an old man.

His Gabby Hayes face, I like to call it

His photo for the All-Star Game advertisements was an awesome example

Pitch Face reminds me of Sex Face.

wazzu93 - March 4, 2010 reply

Indeed.

Now, there are no more secrets.

Going to need some visuals of Sex Face.

Wilder. - March 4, 2010 reply

This thread is awesome.

BrettJMiller - March 4, 2010 reply

Agreed, I'm laughing my ass off.

Pedro

Looks like he's taking a big dump.

Placido Polanco:

Not even a pitcher (but look at that face!)…

SeaKoala - March 4, 2010 reply

Marlon Brando's kid

Polanco has convex temples

I think they’re creepy

pakipaki - March 4, 2010 reply

Both he and Jim Leyritz

I always expect them to begin throbbing, like that race on on ST:TOS

msb - March 5, 2010 reply

This shot reminds me of Paul Rudd's DeNiro impersonation from Knocked Up.

JonBBT - March 5, 2010 reply

Every one of the faces

looks like either:

A) They are taking a huge dump; or

B) They are about to stab someone.

And in the case of Bartolo Colon, both.

uw_chris - March 4, 2010 reply

Ichiro Pitch Face

A rare bird indeed

BRKLN M'S - March 4, 2010 reply

I don't think I've ever seen that before

He is too good, he does'nt even have to look at the catcher.

Burns like the dickens!!!

300ZXNA - March 5, 2010 reply

Burns like the dickens!!!

I hope it works this time.

300ZXNA - March 5, 2010 reply

Oliver Perez

This picture was taken from the dugout.

.

Soooo the 3rd GIS entry for Yusmeiro Petit gives me this with him and Alex Romero

He's thinking about stats.

Advanced Stats.

She could win the triple crown with those stats.

Plus she has pretty massive tits.

It's Mary Carey (L) and Megan Hauserman (R).

Possibly the two dumbest human beings on the planet.

Still nice boobies.

Sorry, mixed that up. Mary Carey is on the right.

Like anyone gives a flying duck.

Hey now. She was in the top 10 in the '03 California Governor's election.

Oh well, I am always for a woman that can raise the electorate!

Titties!

Fresh pitchface

ooh, some good ones in that set.

Dip-face! Half those guys have a monster chaw crammed in there.

Weird, I noticed the same thing

Pitch face accentuates the dip

Brian Floyd - March 4, 2010 reply

Third from the top make me laugh pretty hard.

Kirk - March 5, 2010 reply

By the top I mean bottom.

Kirk - March 5, 2010 reply

So who's going to be the first person to put one of these faces spinning on the gremlin?

Graham MacAree - March 4, 2010 reply

I'd guess Scruffy.

BrianL - March 4, 2010 reply

Damn! Cliff Lee has a sweet rack

He reminds me of unmasked Darth Vadar.

Not just this pic.. just about all of them.

Darth Vader never needed to get a goddamned haircut this badly, though.

Decatur - March 4, 2010 reply

Pitch-face is an old phenomenon

Ahh.. Captured in stone.. Nice..

I had to explain just why I started laughing in the Borghese gallery lo these many years ago

and just what pitch-face was…. though I didn’t call it that at the time.

I've been saving this one for years

Robert - March 4, 2010 reply

You'll notice that there are two kinds of pitch-face ... lips sucked in, lips pushed out.

Fassero was always a lips out guy.

My god.. was this taken this year?

I think they finally convinced him to take his ballk and go home.

Um. Ball.

A few

Big Jared - March 4, 2010 reply

Washburn's is the worst looking

It makes me think of equal parts (a) kids who have to wear helmets wherever they go and (b) banjos

pakipaki - March 4, 2010 reply

Washburn has pirate pitch face.

Menthu Ra - March 5, 2010 reply

As an aside ....

Jo-El looks odd in an Angels uni.

oh, and speaking of pitch-face

Dammit.

Just saw it up above.

You must have read wrong

The title of this post is pitch face not bitch face.

Robert - March 5, 2010 reply

Couple more

I used to love baseball cards with pitch face as a kid

It was better than a ‘limited series’ card done in sepia with elegant fonts or something like that.

I liked to think they were the pitchers that shrugged off photo sessions for the card companies, and in retaliation card companies said, “Make that asshole’s card pitch face.”

Gihyou - March 4, 2010 reply

Me too

Everyone knew Jeff Russell for his frequently-captured-on-cards pitch face, even if we didn’t have the term pitch face.

Sort of an RA Dickey thing going on, before the RA Dickey thing was cool. A true trailblazer.

And one from the archives of a former Tacoma News Tribune photojournalist (Duncan James Livingston) :

PositivePaul - March 4, 2010 reply

When did Stretch Armstrong pitch?

In Tacoma? 2000.

(It’s Ryan Anderson)

.

these pictures doesn't do him justice

but watching schilling pitch in slow mo has always been hilarious. his face fat shifts in the middle of his delivery and it leaves you with a haunting image of a fat ghost that can hurl baseballs.

boomdonkey - March 4, 2010 reply

In my imagination he always moved his lips when the catcher sent the signals.

Phil Hatzenbuehler - March 5, 2010 reply

Damn look at that gut!

blueside714 - March 4, 2010 reply

He looks so much like Alan Tudyk in that picture, it's ridiculous.

Chick Face

"Female Giants"

Well I guess some guys are into that.

Yay for chick face!

section331 - March 5, 2010 reply

Koufax Face

He has The Eye of the Jew!

I can't imagine David Wells doesn't have a hilarious pitch face.

I mean, it wouldn’t be hard to believe he has a Pitch Stomach.

.

His stomach looks like a face is trying to escape, like when Frank got sewn into the couch in It's Always Sunny

I think it looks like the Chestburster from Alien is trying to get out.

Benne - March 5, 2010 reply

Here's aLee and Grienke one

Looking at all of these faces, it is amazing that women want to have sex with men.

Or is it

Hey stop ruining it.

Still pretty.

Maybe “pitch face” is one of the great equalizers.

According to the Metatron, everybody looks ridiculous mid coitus.

All men are. Women are beautiful.

Still hot

Yep.
