I assume you're talking about Javy Guerra. If so, I would describe it as a little crow hop as he strides. He definitely re-plants his right (pivot) foot before he releases the ball.

Riddell Chief

I have the 2004 Riddell Chiefs (high top) and have found them to be very comfortable, and so far very durable. They're pretty reasonably priced, also.

what type of obstruction was it?

Somebody please help me understand the Tejada play. I didn't see it live, but from the replays later, it looked like the umpires ruled it a 7.06(b) obstruction. So does that mean that in their...
