Pronunciation: I'd-throw-it

Hi teachers,

That's what I heard when it was spoken really fast:

A guy threw a ball really hard at another guy.

This another guy said: Crazy I'd-threw-it-really hard, too

Could it be: Crazy I'd have thrown it really hard, too or Crazy I'd throw it really hard too.

Could it be the words are all strung up in a cluster?

Thanks

As you wrote it, the word "Crazy" has no proper connection with the rest of the sentence.

If a person is inebriated, "throw" might come out sounding more like "threw."
