In golf Bernard Langer has had the putting yips since his 20s. He still dominates the senior tour in his 60s. Usually makes the cut at the Masters
He's had numerous styles to combat it

Either the yips are real, or I'm a mentally weak pussy, or both. I've encountered them I. Multiple sports and activities that I'm otherwise good at...all aspects of golf, pitching and throwing both baseballs and softballs, bowling...pretty much anything that involves hitting or projecting a ball.RoadDawg55 said:Fishpo, do the yips really exist or is every guy that has had those type of incidents a mentally weak pussy?
When I played men's softball for a few years in my 20s I eventually switched from primarily 2nd base to short and third because I couldn't stop choking on the throw to first after a routine ground ball to 2nd. -
Yep, a short, easy throw can be an incredible mindfuck…I struggled to throw to first on comebackers in my hurling days…my HS coach taught me to run them over and underhand while in motion, which is prevalent today. Made me remember Jon Lester not being able to pick to first, recently…chuck said:

I guess I've had them with golf, but I've never golfed enough to be good or develop consistency. I've never understood not being able to throw a ball back to the pitcher, second to first, etc.chuck said:

We had a weak first baseman for a season...a big guy that hit a lot of home runs so it was tolerated.RoadDawg55 said:

The routine plays with a lot of time to throw were the problem. I'd see him looking nervous before I threw the ball. It got in my head and I had a streak where I couldn't stop throwing it in the dirt on easy plays. I think I air mailed a couple too. It wasn't an issue if I had to hurry or had space to throw hard, just when i had too much time to look at and think about who was over there.

I think a lot of it has to do with the impression that "I have all the time in the world", and you relax, and stop being "Athletic". Not to go nerdy here, but the feet have such a large role in throwing accuracy. That's why you see the shuffle-shuffle with the infielders, to keep their feet moving and stay in rhythm, which keeps the body athletic. Also, everybody trains to throw full speed, and when you need to regulate it, the feet stop, and you sail/bury it.RoadDawg55 said:

As for golf, it is ingraining a consistent swing path and speed. The toughest shots for me are always around the green, where I can't take a full swing, or have to dial it back. Thank god for wedges... -
ESPN: Seattle Mariners, Julio Rodriguez finalizing long-term extension that could max out at $470 million, sources confirm.
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34464088/seattle-mariners-finalizing-long-term-extension-breakout-rookie-julio-rodriguez-sources-say
I suppose everyone has heard about this by now but here it is all rolled up. JFC. Risky business with a rookie but based on a quick browse I did in an earlier article, only about 210mil of it is guaranteed up front. The rest is performance incentives and options. -
If I was in Julio's shoes I take that as a win-win. Gets real money now and avoids MLB's version of slavery with that 6-year of controlling rights shit. I can believe the Union hasn't made that fuck off yet. I don't toss that kind of opinion out lightly in this case, and I'm not a labor guy, but the way teams can fuck over guys like Aaron Judge until they're 30 years old is insane.
