    So our bullpen comes in throwing 86 to 87 with poor control. But their bullpen is throwing low 90’s with good control? Seems about right.

    Why wait for the bullpen, our new Saturday stud starter pumps it in there at 84-85. 
    I guess Pierce doesn’t like velocity. No way The University of Texas can’t find about 3-4 HS kids a year that can throw 95+.  75% of the SEC does that.  I’d be OK with guys throwing 90-91 if they had any kind of command…which our guys don’t.

    Watch 2 and whiff

    That’s a Pierce thing. We are constantly behind in the count at the plate and almost always behind in the count while on the mound.   Doesn’t seem like the best of strategies…

  3. I’m still not understanding how we have a staff full of guys who can’t hit 90 mph. It’s fine to be a soft-tosser if you have control and can hit your spots, but our 88-89 mph guys don’t have command either!   If you are going to have a staff who consistently falls behind the batters, might as well be guys that throw 95+ and have potential.  Being a “premier” program, no reason we can’t get a bullpen full of these flamethrowers.

    Only reason Ace Whitehead is on the team is because his dad is a millionaire who owns car dealerships. He has no business being on this roster

    ….no big deal to have him on the team because of that, but the problem is we are so bad that he actually sees the field (and is more effective with his 85 mph fastball than most of our relievers).

    Not overpowering

    Pretty sure I’ve seen him in the 97-99 range, but yes, has never put it together (until his 6 no-hit innings tomorrow).
