Last time I watched him pitch it was pretty nasty
but that also was awhile ago.

Everytime I've see him pitch
he’s around 96 but I’ve only seen him pitch twice and both times were in 2007.

He was hitting 96 in his first start this year.

I know it’s early in the season, it’s just the first start of his I found.
the other angels fan
7/30/08, in Toronto
Sits around 96, hits 97 to Overbay in the bottom of the 3rd.
the other angels fan
JI, Edwin's fastball averages around 94, he's got one of the hardest fastballs among starters in the league.
I’ve seen it touch 99 in the 7th inning of a start. He throws straight gas. But doesn’t hide it well and hitters sit on it because it’s often in the middle of the plate. And big leaguers can hit anyone’s fastball if they know it’s coming.

Posnanski has a pretty good column on Pedroia in the latest SI.
He makes good points, mainly that it’s unfair to compare him to other short white players with the “gritty” label because he can actually hit.
Not that he’s the MVP, but he’s no Eckstein.
I have to admit
he’s impressed me a lot this year. I was a little uncertain last season due to his stature and grittiness, but now I am convinced. The man can play some ball.
Cuba Si! Yanqi No!
A good LITTLE baseball player.
Always make sure to include the proper adjective when discussing Pedroia.

Mark is right in an objective sense.
Narratives don’t drive ratings even though they should (and I agree that both teams — assuming a Rays win — have good stories). Markets usually drive ratings. Tampa Bay and Philly are both small teams with low-key profiles. It’ll be a ratings disaster, but wonderful ambrosia for baseball lovers.

Oh god dammit
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
Why is Dan Wheeler good?

Jesus Christ, and on an Upton fuckup too!
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Easy Goosey.
I’d take Maddon as my manager any day of the week. Of course, I work in an office.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Maddon
Wake up and realize Wheeler can come out of the game. Stop being retarded.

I just shit myself. Well, off to band practice!
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Not yet - I just liked the visual of shitting myself and going to practice.
By the way, I believe (Mrs. ess is checking her schedule, but no apparent things are coming up) that i will be defiling your home with my presence Tuesday. Prepare for the unholy cute attack that is ess junior.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
You better goddamned recognize.

I love your unholy side. Wait - that just sounds wrong.
I can’t wait to eat that goodness. BTW, Anna is a veg (pseudo who eats chicken and fish), but don’t be swayed with the menu. She said your stuff sounded so good, she may not care!
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Wana come to a very short notice practice?
Call me. 909-1322. Anyone else that calls is also invited, but will receive phone sex first.

BTW, this was meant for royalcurve, in case there was confusion.

So, kind of unrelated,
but why the fuck do people act as if Pedroia beat the odds to make the majors? He was a goddamn 2nd round pick who was one of their top prospects for years! I don’t give a shit that he’s 5’9" 180, a second round pick succeeding isn’t a huge deal. Fuck the media, specifically TBS
Go Nova
you know what happens when you keep a pitcher in the game after giving up 2 runs and a double in MLB 2K8?
You get called a fucking idiot!
You stupid Wheeler
Pick off Kotsay: He’s thirty feet off second base.

Cut them some slack just for this one.

Dammit, you turned into what would have been a runner at second and no outs, into a terrible swing on Ball 3.

Yeah, you're definitely not needed as much as your are on other days.
