It's going to be a while before we see Sammy Gervacio's awesome wind-up again. Hopefully we didn't jinx him with our rave review of his amazing delivery.The Houston Astros reliever is headed the the 15-day disabled list with his strained rotator cuff.
During the eighth inning of Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Minute Maid Park, Gervacio fielded a sac bunt by Eli Whiteside awkwardly, allowing Juan Uribe to score and Whiteside to end up at third. After the throwing error, the righty composed himself and got Eugenio Velez to ground out right to him.
After an RBI single by Aaron Rowand, Gervacio threw a wild pitch to Edgar Renteria and his arm pretty much fell off. Wilton Lopez will be called up to take Gervacio's place on the roster, and that bums us out.
Get well soon Sammy!

I absolutely hate Gervacio. I was amused the first two pitches he threw. Then it got old real quick. That guy belongs in a circus and not a baseball diamond. A hitter will take offense to it soon enough, and I don't think his teammates will be rushing to his side.
I rant a little more about it here:

Who cares? He gets men out, and that's what a pitcher should do. How he does it... well.
