They do, but Thornton's fastball is even tougher to hit because of his easy motion, it really sneaks up on the hitters. And then, when he does throw his mediocre slider in the right situation, the hitters have no chance.

 

I think he hides the ball really well also. Hunter is a BIG out here...the game is right now.

Hunter scares the crap out of me in that park.

That a boy Matt!

Great location on the 0-2 pitch! Jenks time in the 9th...hide the women and children!

Nice Matt!

I don't think it is, as the gun has been consistent all game. It's not like the debacles in KC where Linebrink was "throwing" 98 mph.

You mean he wasn't throwing 98 mph ankle high fastballs!?!?!?

Dodged a bullet. More runs please.

Ozzie is really gonna throw Bobby tonight in the 9th? REALLY?

I think Guillen is getting a feel for the team that he likes and is why the where will he play talk will come from.

Well why do you think I said I didn't like seeing Matt in the 8th?

Ozzie is really gonna throw Bobby tonight in the 9th? REALLY?

What other choice does he have ?

HUH?

With a three run cushion no reason not to he is going to have to get in there eventually.

Hey look KRod

That's like us and Carlos Lee and his brother, Carlos Lee

I'm talking more or less posters saying it everytime one of our guys is bringing it in a game. I'm sure there will be some "Thornton was not hitting 99, it was probably 95-97 on a normal gun."

What other choice does he have ?

 

Well he probably could of thrown Bobby in the 7th, Thornton in the 8th and Putz in the 9th, no?

Both Bobby and Sergio warming in the pen.

Wow, Rockies just scored 9 in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Cards, who were leading by 6.

I would have approved that message.

Holy s***

HUH?

 

I think he feels that Kotsay and Jones are good for the team and getting a piece like Rios last year while good on paper could set the team back instead. Not that I agree but he say look Kotsay got on base in the 9th tonight.

It probably was around 99. Thornton is so nice and easy most of the time and hits 97, then every now and then you see him put some extra oomph I guess you can say in his motion, so I'm sure he can hit 99 from time to time.

Both Bobby and Sergio warming in the pen.

 

Nice. Santos got a save last night...I get it, but that's weird.
