Throwing out a first pitch before a baseball game can be a harrowing experience. And lets face it, the risks far outweigh the rewards. A great first pitch is met with either indifference, or a smattering of applause from the fans. A bad first pitch will be mocked forever.
This one falls into the latter category. Prior to Wednesdays game against the Oakland Athletics, Miss Texas Daniella Rodriguez threw out the first pitch for the Houston Astros. It did not go well.
While standing on the grass in front of the mound, Rodriguez displayed a strong leg kick and a solid throwing motion, but held the ball just a bit too long. It traveled roughly 40 feet before hitting the ground to the far right of home plate.

“Them are Texas hips.”
Good breeding material!
Beauty is her talent; she doesn’t need another.
Heya 3D-joy, great to hear from you...hahaha, your hair is gray, mine is all gone (shaved head now...couldn’t justify the money cause my hair was really shot anyway!
I woul love to make the ball...:)
She is really, really, really not guilty...
If she only wants to throw the ball 20 or 40 feet and far off the plate, well that is fine by me. Just saying.
You win the Internet for post of the day.
Hehe...I WANT MY PRIZE!
I would 86 the black eye-liner however...too harsh for her sweet face. OR, at least tone it down a bit.
I hope she wears some insect repellent. Those mosquito bites are annoying.
You are 100% correct and those who had her toss out the first pitch knew that too.
This might also have been done for publicity.
Well tempest-in-a-teapot time. It will blow over by this afternoon.
Them are Texas hips.
We call them “saddlebags” in Oklahoma.
Lol.
She was annoying? That's not a good thing. If someone is annoying when they are young, IMAGINE what s/he will be when s/he is forty or fifty.
My sweet, wunnerful hubby was never annoying.
True story: I used to occasionally leave the kitchen cupboard/drawers slightly ajar. That annoyed HIM.
One time he started ragging on me from the living room about it. Before I had a chance to respond...HE did the response.
He had the ENTIRE argument without me. I listened carefully to make sure that he got my side right...and he did.
At the end all I could do was laugh! I said: "Hah, now you don't even need me for an argument with me!"
After that I ALWAYS shut all the drawers and kitchen cabinet doors COMPLETELY...and smiled when I did it, being reminded of our "non-argument."
I sure miss him.
LOL, I thought you were just ragging on her in a humorous way...at least that’s the way I took it!
Just hung up the phone from the TROOPRALLYS.
They were checking on me after the storm passed...Nice huh?
I am too far down the coast but boy did we get rain squalls...even this noontime it was a total whiteout.
Grandson in Norfolk at Old Dominion University....bet he gets soaked too!
I wrote them a little while back...I have to get down there and visit them...I just don’t want to go anywhere near DC for the inauguration! Anyway, nice to see you in the forums!
I was.
The only time I am dead serious on this site is when it comes to the religion forum. Well, unless someone tells a GREAT joke.
My husband had a VERY funny Jesus/golf joke. I still smile when I think of it.
