I totally wasn't expecting Smoltz to be hitting 93-94 MPH, I thought he would be around 88-91 or something like that. I am really excited about what he could do.
He had a really tough first inning, the velocity was there, the control wasn't. I think he will be a good deal for the Sox this season. I am not too worried. He finished very strong.
I agree, I can't wait for tonights game. I am so anxious to see if Smoltz will be a key contributor for us this season. If he pitches well for us, we are going to be a extremely hard team to take down this year.
