I just realized that CC Sabathia didn't make the all-star game. How in the world is that possible?

Too bad they wont replace position players with pitchers otherwise they'd probably replace A-Rod with CC.

Struggled in the strike zone, but who cares when your fast ball reaches 98!

Hit 97mph twice, threw a few 96mph too.

Woooo he looks good, even if the ESPN gun is 1-2 MPH hot as was suggested hes still throwing very hard with decent movement.

The ESPN gun is juiced. He hit 99mph on his first pitch thrown to Harper but it actually timed out at 97mph on PitchFX. The ESPN gun has been ~2mph fast the entire game.

WpgPage · Post #18 » by **WpgPage** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:01 am

The espn gun is 2 MPH hot all scouts are reporting him 94-96 with 1 at 97.
