OH NONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[PrimeTime]

91 MPH :shock:

[MustangMike]

Prior had to get off the juice when they started testing..This is prolly how hard he throws naturally without it.

 

Thanks for posting this. I can't believe more people are drilling down into this. To me, it's quite obvious. Wasn't his pitching coach, Tom House busted for juice?

 

get on the HGH

[cubweiser03]

a swing a miss. okay now.

[oldstyle81]

91mph, that looks good

[pitchcs]

Kouzmanoff struck out swinging

 

He must be embarrased.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm not sure if I ever posted this here.

 

It doesn't have much relevence to present moment...but Curtis Granderson was at my condo last year after one of the Tigers games @ Wrigley and he said that Prior was the worst/easiest pitcher he faced all year. Basically like an 86 MPH fastball right down the middle...BP.

 

Namedropper

 

OK, an anonymous Detroit Tiger.

 

Better. :wink:

[98navigator]

The best inning of his ST!

[pitchcs]

Maddux grounded to third base , safe on a throwing error, E5

 

Prior just can't get that 1-2-3 inning to help his confidence.

[PrimeTime]

That was his best stuff yet in a while

[USSoccer]

Maddux grounded to third base , safe on a throwing error, E5

 

What happened with Aramis there?

[otis89]

Is this the same Mark Prior that pitched the first inning?

[oldstyle81]

the velocity is a good sign too me

[TruffleShuffle]

So you're saying he was on the juice in HS & college? Come on

 

No kidding... NCAA drug testing is pretty strict for top-level programs. I have friends who swam for Penn State, and they'd get out of the pool after practice and have someone waiting for them in the locker room to get a pee test. And that's just a swim team.

[MustangMike]

he's consistetly 90-91 right now

 

Where was he in 2003...94mph? I can't remember

[C.C.]

Hey! He's looking better!

[moorecg]

Well that "sounded" like a really nice little inning for him...
