I don't know how the gun is, but he's consistently at 95-96 most of the time, so 97 isn't really a stretch.
Average FB: 96.09 Max FB: 97.4 Link ETA: It has Lackey at: Avg FB: 93.45 Max FB: 94.6 Which is well above his average, too.
huh? I know the Red Sox have dominated them for the most part, but they don't always get lit up in the playoffs. I think the Angels have enough pitching to compete.
I know he's got lots of pop on that fastball, I just don't think that I've ever seen him ramp it up that high before. While we're on the subject, it bothers me that people refer to Josh Beckett as Boston's ace. Lester's the better pitcher.
gonzalez becomes boston's first baserunner, but ellsbury grounds back to the pitcher to end the top of the 3rd
Who's feeding these guys bad statistics? They claim Abreu and Pujols are the only two players to have 100 RBI each of the last seven seasons. A-Rod does as well. He got to exactly 100 this season.
five baserunners so far in the third bases loaded for Lester after back to back walks. Close call on the pitch that made it 3-2. Could've been strike 3. Looked like it was right at the knees.
Guerrero is still reckless at the plate despite his vastly diminished skills. They would be foolish to re-sign him. Strikes out on three pitches. Awful at bat.
