I just watched Schillings 20th win game of 04 on Red Sox Classics, and Schillings Velocity is the same if not better now than it was then, however the Spiltter was much nastier and he could throw it for a strike. The big difference is not Velocity its Location, this is really the trouble Curt had last year as well, in september, he had decent Velocity but the Location was just not there
