machuga flop? perfect strategy.
« on: November 13, 2005, 11:33:33 AM »
With all the talk about bowlers burning up a spot on the lane with sanded balls.....here is a weird thought I'd like to share...  

Pretend that Machuga is in a tight final match for the $40,000.00.  His opponent (jason couch) has struck on the left lane in the 9th and can strike out for 270.  Machuga can strike out for only 250.  Machuga gets up in the 9th on the right lane(the lane couch will finish on)....Since there is no rule violation for the Machuga flop and he can rethrow the ball, why wouldn't he "flop" himself right down the left side of the lane and ruin Couch's shot?  I know he would never do it....but since it's not illegal.....why not!

Why not?  Because these bowlers, with some exceptions, are professionals and act as such.  While some whine and cry because they can't carry, you might be a little upset as well if success on your career hinged on not getting tapped.

Besides the fact that is very unprofessional and I am sure it would not be allowed (the match was wrapped up already and they allowed him to throw it over).

On the other side if he did that to Couch, Chugs better be able to run quick cause Jason has him by about 50+ pounds. I could see him try it on Traber though (god he is getting bigger...).

they allowed him to rethrow the last ball because he never let it go...therefore, no foul.  I am not saying its not unprofessional, its just an idea.

He flopped then threw his "shot" (he told the guys on the side he was gonna do it). Hence 256
