Default Rays' B.J. Upton and Josh Howard have something in common....

It seems BJ Upton is a disciple of the now well-established "Howard Doctrine" that one cannot, in fact, control what the ball do.

Quote:
Take, for example, the third inning. Down 2-0, the Rays loaded the bases for star center fielder B.J. Upton. He smoked a pitch from Cole Hamels right to third baseman Pedro Feliz, who started an inning-ending double play. Two inches to the right and two runs score.

“You can only hit it,” Upton said. “You can’t tell it where to go.”

It's crazy, man, Y'all hilarious.

I wish Howard had BJ's swing (shot in basketball terms)

From what I know about Upton, I'm guessing the two have a lot more in common than just their thoughts on physics.

10 years from now, "you can't control what the ball do" will be sports mantra...

Josh Howard is the prophet...
