Verlander No-hits Brewers
Justin Verlander had a nasty curveball and a 101 mph fastball, and that stuff was good enough to get the Tigers' first no-hitter since 1984.

I really like this guy. Congrats to him. I think he's going to be a very good pitcher for many years to come.

Hitting 102 mph in the 9th inning is just plain sick.
Congrats to Verlander. (on the no-hitter and on the smoking hot wife)

Yeah for real, what a wife!
This is almost garnering as much ESPN attention as Schilling's one hitter, so you know it must have been impressive

Beauty of a game. However, that 102 mark is exxagerated. All TV channels speed up the gun about 2-3 MPH at least, that was probably 97-100(MAX), which is still amazingly impressive. Great game, and that curveball was plain up nasty.

It was 102 on the broadcast. That pitch registered 101 on the in-stadium gun.
And I don't buy this whole gun conspiracy anyways. Reason being, you don't "speed up a radar gun" by just turning a knob. What you can do however is to aim the gun at different points during the flight of the ball after it leaves the hand of a pitcher...and that will give you different readings. The closer the radar is aimed at the pitcher the faster the registered reading will be as a fastball roughly loses 8 mph from the time it leaves the pitcher's hand to the time it crosses home plate.
That all said, aiming the gun closer to the pitcher isn't creating a false reading. That reading is 100% accurate. It's simply registering the pitch speed at its' fastest point.

Well I don't know about anybody else but I'll sure as hell take being no hit one out of every three games if it means I win the other two.
