Maybe they "turn it up" for Prior and they forgot to turn it back down for the padres. If that were the case, Prior wouldn't have been hitting 79mph in the first inning.
he is bad, I don't mind his post game though What's going on here? Is Brenly on the way out? Why is Plesac doing all the ST games? Brenly had some other commitments. He isn't going anywhere.
The 90-91mph is encouraging but before we get too excited, he was pitching against the bottom of the order. This next inning will be a test. Mark with a hit!
