    during the braves/astros series last week, he was consistently hitting 100 and 101 on the home gun(on the scoreboard), but the braves guns were backing it up...it was legit......AND throwing it for strikes

    at 5'10 or whatever, he sure doesn't look like a flamethrower, but he sure can bring it

    the only problem w/ a fastball pitcher these days, is the harder they throw it, whenever the team does pick up on it, the harder they hit it.

    thats what i've always told myself when i'm at bat, "the harder he brings it, the further i hit it". unfortunately i'm still waiting to test that theory, as i have yet to catch one of those hard ones solid

    yes, a pitcher cannot live on fastball alone these days, even at 100 it better have some nasty movement...percival of the angels is the only one i can think of that gets away with it most of the time

    Didn't Nolan Ryan hit 103 at the top of his game? I've come to the conclusion that Billy Wagner is the boy from Rookie of the Year. Just had to wait till he got more movement on his offspeed, and had to break his arm again

    I am not doubting that, but do you have a link for proof? I have never heard that.
