So much for the worries about his velo decreasing.

This dude deserves to be a SP.

...or they're "tweaking" their guns to dispel any rumors?

That would have to be one helluva tweak. From low 90's to 106?

i just watched that. andrew i think lost a minute on his life there. you see him take that helmet off and walk away? lol

Kevbo · Apr 18, 2011

I don't know that I've heard anyone say he lost velocity...
just that on back to back nights he's not able to dial it to 3 digits.

The timing is a bit curious given all of the speculation around his lack of velocity... from that to suddenly clocking out at 106? Maybe I'm just a skeptic.

i was watching. it was on fire. no way there was tweaking.

It was said many times by many people that he was in the lower 90's on their last road trip.

106 is impressive.

106 with command is superhuman.

jbhofmann · Apr 18, 2011

ESPN is reporting that the said pitch was ONLY clocked at 103 on another gun.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Not to0 often you read 103 and only in the same sentence.

boomo · Apr 18, 2011

not a chance it was a true 106, just no way.

SportsCardMojo · Apr 18, 2011

At this rate, his arm is bound to come off one day. Or maybe just his hand.

Amazing.

hagausaf · Apr 18, 2011

no way he can sustain that speed and be a SP without suffering injuries. Its a nice thought but not very likely and you rarely see a SP throw in triple digits for that reason.

D-Lite · Apr 18, 2011

So what eventually do they do with him? Middle relief just seems torturous.

hagausaf · Apr 18, 2011

I can see him being a dominant closer type or a spot starter . perhaps he can throw some off-speed fastballs and make it as a SP lol

Gotta agree also. Just seems that logic points to this. Some pitchers were able to "dial it up " on occasion but sustained 100+ is a sure course for a few DL stints. JMHO
