Tim Tebow Had His MLB Tryout And Is Basically Pedro Cerrano From “Major League”
Part-time “Good Morning America” host Tim Tebow finally had his much anticipated baseball workout on Tuesday and, by and large, it went better than expected. Tebow, formerly the most-hyped backup quarterback in the NFL, showed off his baseball skills to several Major League Baseball scouts on USC’s baseball field. What seemed to impress the scouts the most was a few moonshots Tebow hit over the Trojans’ scoreboard.
Skip Bayless called it. That man is so good at what he does.
Alas, though, it wasn’t all good news for Tebow. Surprisingly, the man who couldn’t complete a pass in the NFL to save his life had similar issues on the baseball field. He couldn’t hit a major-league curveball either.
From ESPN:
Tebow also showed he still needs baseball seasoning when he faced live pitching from former big-leaguers David Aardsma and Chad Smith, who repeatedly fooled him with off-speed pitches. Tebow could only grin in frustration after he fanned on a series of changeups and breaking balls.
…
According to one scout, Tebow showed a below-average 40 grade arm on the 20-80 scouts scale. Tebow caught everything hit to him during shagging, but struggled with his footwork a couple of times.
Any Broncos fan could’ve saved you guys some time and let you know he’s got a below-average arm. Thank God no one is trying to tackle him while he’s shagging balls.
Speaking of God, Tebow’s whole workout seems awfully familiar. A jacked dude who crushes fastballs but struggles with off-speed stuff, is so nice that it’s annoying and prays to his God a lot. Hmm…
Yep. Tim Tebow is real life Pedro Cerrano. Without a doubt.
It might also be best for Tebow to take some advice from Cerrano: “Jesus? I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.”
Teebs, give up the publicity stunt now or enjoy your three-year stint on the Toledo MudHens..

Up your butt, Jobu…

8 years ago at 9:48 amYou trying to say Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?
8 years ago at 10:01 amSo fuck you, Jobu, I do it myself.
8 years ago at 10:01 amSay what you want about Tebow, but this dude just works his ass off at everything. Liberal media loves guys like Kaepernick, who’s too lazy to even stand up, but bash Tebow relentlessly. Good for him, hope he makes it, even though he probably won’t.
8 years ago at 10:06 amKapernick not standing has nothing to do with laziness…
8 years ago at 10:14 amStory teller, let me tell your libtard ass something. That fuck-stick is making 19 million dollars a year, while sitting his bitch ass on a bench, and doing nothing with his celebrity power to “actually” help broken communities. He tells people about his perceived sense of racism, despite living in the least racist country in the world. He creates a false sense of victim hood that encourages minorities to give up, and assume they’ll never succeed how hard they try. And of course the liberal media parade him around as a brave hero. Furthermore, rather than become a better quarterback, he can now blame getting cut due to his political views.
He could tell kids to work hard and make responsible decisions, but instead he disrespects the country that’s given him immense privilege. Fuck him.
8 years ago at 12:31 pmTL;DR: He epitomizes laziness
8 years ago at 12:32 pmI don’t know why this is being down voted. Fuck you all
8 years ago at 6:30 pmLuckily things turned around. Fuck you dorn for what you’ve done to this site. And fuck the SJW high school libs who read this site.
8 years ago at 11:00 pmSeems legit enough that he at least took it seriously and makes it not come across as much as a publicity stunt like it first did. Still the issues are that he doesn’t really do anything naturally. The fielding and throws looked pretty rough but he does have some pop in that bat. Issue is he’s a project at 29 years old who would probably be taking the spot of some 23 year old. But if he makes a minor league club money and they think he has potential to progress then why not?
8 years ago at 11:28 amSome shit hole team like the Brewers will sign him as a publicity stunt. Put him in rookie ball and maybe let him up to low A ball for half a season and then cut him. All while ESPN does coverage of his Pioneer league career in depth, interrupting other sports for live coverage for his at bats, kind of like when Bonds went for the home run record.
