    How has Unit's velocity been?
  2. a700hitter
    I didn't see that kind of velocity from him. There were no radar readings at the spring parks, but he was lucky if he was hitting 90. Paps was throwing so hard in the bullpen tonight that I could hear the glove popping from my seat along the RF line. I was so far from the bullpen that I could not see his number, but I knew from the glove popping that it was not Foulke. None of the relievers from either team popped the glove that loudly.

    He isn't yet. That's quite a ways off for Lester. He needs a lot of refinement, and his velocity is nothing like Paps.

    Papelbon has shown in his two appearances that he has good command of his off-speed pitches. He threw two off-speed pitches to Millar that really had him off balance. Millar was geared up for the fastball and he had it timed. The scoreboard showed the pitches as 89 mph slider, but from my perspective the last pitch looked like a splitter that dropped and Millar helplessly flailed over it. It was quite surprising that Paps came out of the pen throwing 95+ from the get go and that he had command and feel for the off-speed pitches. By time he came in the temperature had to be in the 30's. it was freezing.

    The ABs will come for Wily Mo. He'll play against most lefties. There will be injuries etc. If Jay Payton had stayed with the Red Sox last year, he would have gotten plenty of ABs in the second half.

    I think Wily Mo has been told that there is a very good chance that he will have the RF or 1B job next year, especially with Nixon in the last year of his contract. I don't think that he'll be a problem.

    Very interesting ORS. I knew the part about the illusion of rising because the harder thrown balls fall less than the eye would expect, but I did not know about the 200 mph study.
  8. a700hitter
    Some physicists have also claimed that the curveball is an optical illusion, because that too was against the laws of physics. Anyone who has tried to hit them know that it is not an optical illusion. Similarly, I think the guys that faced Bob Gibson might tell you that the rising fastball is not a myth.

    It is encouraging, and he is still building arm strength.
  10. a700hitter
    Foulke hit 88 on the gun. It's good to see that he is building velocity.
  11. a700hitter
    6 hits off Seanez and counting.
  12. a700hitter
    Except for the IF hit, everything has been hit hard off Seanez. 5 hits
  13. a700hitter
    Snow can throw the leather! nIce diving catch!
  14. a700hitter
    Seanez 4 batters 4 hits 4 runs. He will be fighting with Riske to keep a spot on the staff.
  15. a700hitter
    Clement looked very sharp tonight. His sinking fastball had them swinging and missing a lot. Seanez is in the game now and has given up 3 straight hits. He stinks.
  16. a700hitter
    It's official, and Clement is breezing
  17. a700hitter
    Stop doing your rain dance.
  18. a700hitter
    Clement is sailing. Great work from a #4 or 5 starter.
  19. a700hitter
    If it is still raining, it is not heavy.
  20. a700hitter
    Nice for Youk.
  21. a700hitter
    Youk needs to get on a roll.
  22. a700hitter
    1,2,3 Way to go Matt!
  23. a700hitter
    A nice quick inning.
  24. a700hitter
    Freakin rain go away!
  25. a700hitter
    Nice hit by Lowell. He has no problem with bat speed. His problem is with the off-speed stuff.
