August 24th vs Anaheim

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice play by the kid, Beckett is looking top notch.

[schillingouttheks]

Beckett is looking like the ace we want him to be. What has gotten into him?

[Cocos Disciples]

36 pitches for Beckett. Awesome.

[jsinger121]

Has the real Josh Beckett finally stood up?

[schillingouttheks]

I'm not trying to hold my breath, but a complete game from Beckett tonight would be huge.

[schillingouttheks]

If these FSN announcers say "Wily Mo has got to go" one more time I'm going to shoot someone.

[schillingouttheks]

Wow, Cora has made Weaver throw 17 pitches just to him. Great ABs even though they resulted in outs.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I was just watching a pretty long video of Daisuke Matsuzaka. Here is the link if anyone is interested:

He has one of the best breaking balls I've seen in a long time. This is the one big signing I would love to see the Red Sox make (if he becomes available).

[schillingouttheks]

Aren't some of those the "gyroball?"

[Anuj09]

wow Jered Weaver K's out the side

Better purchase that revolver.

[CrespoBlows]

Those look like hard sliders. I didn't see the gyroball, I hear it's just a glorified screwball.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I'm not sure but it could be that breaking pitch they show. Its absolutly filthy. The guy throws everything with the same exact motion and a slow delivery like Wang.

[CrespoBlows]

The gyroball comes in at around 92 mph, those sliders are coming in at around 87.

[schillingouttheks]

Beckett's filthy so far.

[Anuj09]

hooolllly s***

 

Edit: Down by 3 you know the yanks are playin a great ballgame

Someone knows how to convert....if I can remember...150km is about 95mph??...pretty good velocity. I have a few videos that show him throw a cutter, splitter, and a video that shows the rotation of a "gyroball"....still don't know what it looks like coming from a game camera

[schillingouttheks]

Damn. Weaver has K'd 5 straight batters.

[Cocos Disciples]

Last inning maybe, 102 pitches now, but hes gotten stronger.

[CrespoBlows]

Damn. Weaver has K'd 5 straight batters.

 

They're striking out, but they're making Weaver throw. 104 so far. He should be out of the game, after this inning.

[Cocos Disciples]

107 total pitches, likely done.

[a700hitter]

Brendan Donnelly is up in the pen. How do the Sox hit him?

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Here is the "gyroball":

 

....sick

About 94 mph. The formula's not exact though.

 

1 kph = 0.621371192 mph

 

I have to say, that fastball isn't 94 mph hour. It explodes when it reaches the batter.

[CrespoBlows]

This year he's allowed 1 ER in 4 IP.

[jsinger121]

Weaver is definitely done

[CrespoBlows]

Reminds me of a screwball with higher velocity. (much higher)

[a700hitter]

Uh oh!

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

DOUBLE PLAY!

[schillingouttheks]

HUGE DOUBLE PLAY. BECKETT :clap:
