Lakeland, Fla. — These are strange, uncertain times for Blaine Hardy.
The former Tigers reliever posted a video of himself on Twitter over the weekend throwing his still-nasty array of breaking balls, changeups and cutters in 40-degree weather to JUCO hitters at Central Lake College in Brainerd, Minnesota.
“Nicky was harping on me for the longest time to post something on Twitter and I finally caved,” Hardy said, Nicky being his wife. “It just feels like begging to me. But at the same time, whatever. What’s it going to hurt?”
