DJ commenting that Garcia's velo is down, and stating he'll rear back and fire it when he needs to.  Interesting.

 

You can tell Garcia is trying to hit his spots. I'm not exactly thrilled that he's trying to become Greg Maddux, but I'm willing to see how his control is. The only thing that could hurt him is that the lower velocity makes his slider less effective as a strikeout pitch.

wow has garcia thrown one over 84 yet?

He popped a fastball at 85 MPH against Sizemore. His velocity should pick up as we get deeper into the game.

 

I'm just surprised he made it through the 1st unscathed.

Maybe Freddy is just using the beginning of the game to try and throw strikes and not overexert himself so early in the game like he tended to do last year. He was pathetic in the 1st inning of games last season.
