I‘M getting the ESPN feed 

I've got the Cleveland feed, and they said nothing.  I was amazed when the camera panned to 1B that Durbin was only about 2/3 of the way there.

Now it could be, given the number of hammies that got blown out in various sports, they were under strict orders not to run 100%.  Just curious.  Cedanne apparently did not get the memo.

If they did, no one heard them because the game's on ESPN.

At least Abreu hustled down the line. Durbin didn’t. If I was Tracy I’d take him out of the game for not hustling.

They were probably also told not to swing too hard to avoid a rib injury.

Well , he ran the next one out, so all that speculation was for naught. (Not a bad return on most of what we say here!)

The speed is measured immediately after it leaves the pitcher's hand.

It’s convention to measure it that way . It loses about 5-8 mph by the time it reaches the batter. Regardless, it’s still damn fast

Not to mention perceived velocity that the hitter feels as the pitcher releases closer to homeplate.  Greg Maddux was successful in part to his stride length which was 110% of his height.  His 90-92 four seamer felt more like 95-96 not to mention the late movement he always seemed to generate
