No, it was average at best(it was a slider I believe, but either way). I can't imagine how tough it is to be looking for a 98 MPH fastball and try to adjust to a slider there when nobody saw that coming. Yeah, my bad. Looked like a curve the first time I saw it, but after replay that definitely was a slider. But you're correct - that's gotta rattle the batter when he sees that coming. He threw almost all fastballs, then two sliders to Posey. Neither were great, and the fastballs didn't have great location for most of the pitches, but when you throw that hard you can get away with being effectively wild now and then. Edit: This was not some of my best writing...
