Is it sub-muh-reener like in submarine.

or sub-may-riner, like Iron Maiden's "Ryme of the ancient Mariner"

OK, I know that was dumb, but still :)

The rhyme of the ancient Submariner...

But if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, it's Sub.

The accent changes as a result of the ending consonant.
Not uncommon in the Enlish language.
Very common in French.
Marine, like in U.S.
Mariner, like in Rhyme of

Hows about this un...

"Sinn" watch

Pronounced SIN or SIGN ?

TIA!

But I believe that "sub-mareener" is the correct term for a pitcher who throws underhand or low sidearm, which is to say that the release point is below the belt, a la Ted Abernathy, Kent Tekulve, and the late Dan Quisenberry.
