5/29 Kane County vs: Peoria (Prior)-5:00 PM

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, Prior's velocity is indeed a concern.

 

Yeah not good. Wasnt wood around this too when he rehabed? Wood today was throwing hard, maybe Prior can follow his path of success.

 

If I remember correctly, Wood's velocity in his start at Peoria was around 93-94 mph.

I think you're correct. Wood was slower in his following Iowa start, which was cold and rainy.

 

I just don't know that Prior can get extended out pitch-wise and get velocity back over the course of 3 rehab starts, which seemed to be the original plan.

I wonder if he was holding back, acting like it was a towel throwing drill instead of to live batters...

I'm sure he was a little tentative and holding back. Give him some time. Like woody, he'll come around.

True, but woody didnt have that much problem with his velocity in his first start.

[David]

Hasn't Wood been in the low 90's.. 91-92.. in his first few starts (he started out a little higher today)? That's a good 3-4 mph below what you would expect out of him.

 

Normally, I expect Prior to be in the 92-93 range, on rarer occasions hitting 95... Today he was, what, 88-89... So both are down about 3 or 4 mph from their normal selves.

Man I keep Prior down there for more than two more starts. He needs to be fully ready, and it's gonna take more than 2 more starts.

Does anybody have a pitch count for Prior? He needs to be able to get up to 70 pitches before he goes up to AA or AAA.

I think they said 44. Don't quote me on that.

 

Just checked Cubs.com - do quote me on it. 44 it was.
