[dogpause]

I guy that only throws 95 is still throwing as hard as he can every time he lets it rip.

For some reason that list doesn’t have degrom on it who’s the poster boy for increased velocity and arm issues.

I think that list is just guys who've appeared in 2024. And DeGrom hasn't because, well, you know.

Best $1 spent in FAAB money late last season.

Wow.

@storrsroars wow. That was fun to watch. Crazy that someone who plays 1/5 games will be an Absolute game changer for you guys. Needless to say.

If you're a baseball fan, Dodgers v Pirates is on MLB.

Skenes started by striking out Betts and Otahni on 7 pitches, five of them >100mph.
