  1. Stacy Long reported that Wilking Rodriguez hit 99 mph on the gun. Anything to say about that?

  2. I saw the game, when the 99 popped up on the scoreboard I thought it was a mistake. He definitely was throwing hard with a lot of pitches in the 94 to 96 range.

  3. Diamondtom, what did you think of his offspeed pitches? Also, did his fastball have much movement? And were the hits bloops or well struck balls? Thanks in advance!

  4. His off speed pitches are very effective because of the velocity on his fastball. Movement was good, he only gave up 6 singles, two were line drives and the rest were either ground balls or bloopers. What impressed me was that his velocity increased every inning. Both Rodriguez and Colome are fun to watch, barring injury they should have a good career.
