Van Earl Wright

What about that Van Earl Wright guy, some chapter in season 2, can´t remember which one, but he was just too embarrassing. I´m talking about the baseball round.
What was he doing out there waving that poor ball around!?
I´ve seen lack of skills in my life, but that was by far the worst i´ve seen since....ever, probably.
He had no idea how to throw a ball. It was totally out of control.
Even the terrible and always so irritating host made a tiny bit of sense taunting him.
Is it something wrong with his arm or something, because that would explain it. Otherwise it´s just awkward and wrong.

you should of seen the some people try and break glass in the baseball one in season 1 or 2.

You two are talking about the same episode. Van Earl had enough problems finding the plate, let alone breaking the glass. Derrin Horton was throwing less than 40 MPH (heck, I was 10 and I could throw harder than that) and actually pulled his hamstring. Sal from the X games actually beat Rob Dibble in the event (not that Dibs hit the target on more than 3 of 14 pitches - give or take one or two hits/throws).
