3/5 ST: Cubs (Prior) v Mariners (Batista), 2:05CT, XM178

[E.J.]

I wonder what the velocity on his fastball is like?

 

Someone send up the Bruce signal.

[98navigator]

He's rusty and nervous. Hopefully, it will fix itself.

 

The inning ends on a INF pop out

[RichHillIsABeast]

I can't believe the Mariners didn't score. Prior, you lucky dog you.

[David]

Hey, does anyone know what Prior's velocity looks like?

 

I don't think anyone has asked yet.

[moorecg]

Got through the inning w/o giving up a run...he's the best starter we've had all year so far!

"Well they don't have to change their license plate frames very often"

 

SHUT THE F--- UP A--HOLE!!!!!!!!!

At least the walks came with 2 out.

[Bruce Miles]

25 pitches, 12 strikes for Prior in the first. He missed high with his fastball consistently. They don't have gun readings on the board, so I don't know what the velocity is.

I don't think anyone has asked yet.

 

The ball made it over the plate so I'm guessing at least 45 mph.

Hopefully!

[radarluv1]

uh oh. is he on a pitch count? i cant imagine lou lets him throw another 25 pitches on his first outing.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Lou likes Michael Barrett. :D

[E.J.]

I'm just happy Prior is actually pitching in spring training and hasn't missed any time. If he's pitching like crap (or not pitching at all) during the regular season, then I'll be upset. Until then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Roast]

Im just happy that prior is THROWING. In a GAME. He could give up 8 runs for all i care.

Not exactly the worst of news considering it's his first ST start. What was his offspeed stuff like?

 

Thanks, Bruce!
