Actually, he DIDN'T bounce it, as much as I wanted to see him do it. I did a frame by frame and got this screenshot of the downward arc of the ball into the glove.

If it makes you feel any better, note that the "catcher" is standing in front of the plate, and reaching as far forward as he can while squatting. The ball was caught about 3 feet short of the plate, just barely off the ground, so it was certainly a "bounce pitch", is was just scooped up before it had a chance to hit the ground.

Check out what some dude wrote: "Typical de-balled liberal man. Throws like a lipstick lesbian." That guy should be ashamed of himself.

Here's for you Jon Francis Kerrrrry, you creap.

Here's a great video of Gov. Palin. It is a "must watch":

It clearly would have bounced in front of the plate.

His staff should have saved him for a soccer match. I’m sure, having grown up in Indonesia, he’d have been perfectly comfortable kicking in the first ball.

It looks like his pinky is off the ball and his thumb is under it. He could have claimed he was trying to throw a knuckleball, but he’s got the seams wrong, and he clearly looks prepared to snap his wrist. For a knuckler his wrist would be rigid and he’d push the ball to the plate with his middle 3 fingers.

Close....but no cigar.

I am sorry but this the same idiot that ripped Sarah Palin. I am shallow and will not read Powerline anymore.

Liberals.

All about how things look, on the surface only, and never about substance, achieving objectives, or real accomplishment.

In fact, real accomplishment embarrasses them so much they chronically attack it to salve their abysmal self images.

The only image they can applaud is the superficially successful dirtbag, notibly Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy and Clinton, among numerous others.

All I ask is that, if a president chooses to take the mound, we get to see what he delivers when he delivers it.
Isn't there something sinister about the way that everyone seemingly covers for this clown all the time, in every situation?
Presidents are typically old enough that former All-Star baseball players of his age aren't a lock to throw a strike on a first pitch. For that matter, even active major league pitchers often throw balls when they are trying to throw strikes. Warmed up or no.

So it's only a big deal if the president makes a big deal out of it. And then it gets creepy. In The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek makes the point that fascists can't be wrong - they will take a position on a seemingly trivial matter where you or I would shrug our shoulders when proven wrong by events, but fascists will defend their position ferociously.

Great video, I need to shut down the torrent stuff to archive it. The programs conflict trying to access the I/O ports.
