Farmer is talking about scouts' concerns about Freddy's velocity.

It could be a result of throwing a lot of innings over the years, but to drop that much velocity this suddenly makes me wonder if there's more to it than that.

So I guess that means he's not gonna hit .054 against us this series, or whatever it was. haha.

 

 

Well not many major leaguers are going to hit that when someone is getting behind everyone and throwing junk and backing that up with 85 mph heat.

LOL Freddy funking hangs a meatball to Salmon and he misses it.

 

2 out

Man we lucked out there.. Garcia looks bad.

Methinks its MRI time for Freddy.

A month into the season...how can you not be.

Scott Podsednik is a f***ing headcase. He needs a f***in shock collar on the basebaths.

It's not just the fastball velocity that's a concerned. He's not putting anything on his offspeed pitch, causing it to roll to the plate. That's what happens when you don't have enough strength in your shoulder. The only chance he has to fool guys right now is with his changeup.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Freddy pitch well in the WBC? I thought he was bringing his usual low 90's in that tourney.

High 80s is what I was told.

i wonder if we can trade freddy for grady sizemore :D

He gawn, 82 mph

 

Disgusting inning, I can't believe AJ tolerates his new bulls*** approach without hitting him in the face

Why not just a suitable righty reliever so we can move the much better McCarthy into the rotation?

In the starts I watched he was very good.

 

Well, typical first inning Freddy. Hopefully he'll settle down and we can score a few runs. Not gonna be easy but we can do it.

Do you really believe this approach is by designed? I doubt Garcia is Ricky Vaughn from Major League II.

In all the years of watching Freddy, when did he become Typical mid 80s Freddy. He usually gives up runs in the first inning, however he usually can break 90 on the gun once.

Inevitably, steroid allegations will be associated with Garcia. Wheter or not that's what you were alluding to, it's bound to come up. Players in their late 20's/early 30's don't lose 5 mph fastball for no apparent reason. Personally, I believe he's injured to some degree.

 

It's just odd how the one game against Detroit he apparently regained his velocity, yet, has to reach similar velocity since.

Even if it's not he shouldn't be throwing himself out there when he has no f***ing heat.

 

Freddy w/o heat= :chair :chair :chair

The seeds for Cy Weaver are being planted early tonight.

He threw in the 90s against Tor as well.

Talk about loss off velocity, Weaver hasn't thrown above 84.....

 

I'd suggest perhaps the radar gun is off, but Garcia doesn't appear to be throwing harder than his readings.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 02:32 AM)

Maybe like one or two pitches. He started off the game around 85 mph, and then he was throwing 88 mph after the rain delay. That was another game where he didn't know why he wasn't able to get loose.

Yeah...to the naked eye, Weaver seems to be throwing harder.
