 Before the Joe Kelly stuff yesterday, I was watching the Dodgers game I was watching Brewstar gratter all new pitcher out of the pen for the Dodgers And I was audibly reacting to every pitch because the dude's throwing 100 miles per hour with ease He actually came in too hot. You can see it running away from him too much You can see his catcher looking like just throw it to me bud calm down a little bit 2-0 fastball Tucker's geared up. He misses just that slight bit of armside run Then he's gonna come back the same thing and Tucker's thinking well shit I'm really behind on that. I should start swinging much earlier and what does Brewstar do? He goes to the off-speed pitch drops it to 88 Yeah, you swung a little too early now because that was way slower than he goes back to the fastball 100 catcher goes. Yep. You're there. Oh, yeah, love that 2-2 pitch fastball way out of the zone Kind of lost control but you had a ball to work with gets the strike. This dude's throwing 100 miles per hour with ease Next up Maldonado. Look at that pitch. That's like a gun It's a slingshot just 100 with ease straight down the middle try and hit it Then he goes 88 slider just to let him know he's got two now. He's 0-2 count I think the catcher calls for an off-speed. He says no no no no no no no no no no I want to throw the fastball. I want to throw it with authority right down the middle 101 fastest pitch of the outing dude just wants to blow it by people 0-2 again He's gonna go to the fastball again, but he loses his own over throws it. So he's like, all right fine I'll throw that nasty slider. I have to and just strikes Maldonado Look at this just that tiny sharp break 90 miles per hour 10 miles per hour different You can see Maldonado like I fuck it. I'm out of here that ain't fun Springer comes up and here's where it gets fun He's throwing in Look at that That's so sharp at 87 you match that with one a hundred miles per hour fastball So he comes inside with the fastball It's got that arm side to run and then he comes back with the slider at 88 Look at these two pitches overlaid. Look at this at this point if you're the batter They're the same exact pitch and a fraction of a second later They go two different ways So Springer thinks he's coming with that 100 inside again So he gears up to hit it and then this one just falls the other way He swings through his shoes at the off-speed pitch the breaking ball And then he goes back to 100 easy and then he's gonna ground out Get him to ground out. I mean this was It's three batters. There's a lot of pitchers doing a lot of fun stuff in the league now But I had audible reactions to every single one of those pitches as I watch this on my couch And I just needed to share it with people that maybe didn't see it. It was in it was a great performance Couple innings. He hasn't really established himself yet. I get that Enjoy what we did see though
