Really, when I saw him it was a fastball with good movement in to righties and a slider. He threw a couple of changeups, but fastball/slider was his main thing. Threw the slider between 83-86 and the fastball between 92-94 reaching 97 in the 1st inning.
I think it's just a convenient excuse. The only player who did worse last year in day games than night games was Fielder (lost 10 points on his OPS), everybody else either performed the same or better during the day than at night.
That first pitch and second pitch to Hardy were exactly the same except the second pitch was a little higher. One was a strike, one was a ball. How about some consistency?
Yes, but it's not really the point. She probably wasn't even paying attention, looked towards the field and saw the ball coming and decided to go after it.
She should be ejected. All fans who pull that crap should be. It's like she wasn't even paying attention and then saw the ball slowing rolling towards her area so she thought she could get it. Pay attention!
I think it's a great move for the Pirates. Just keep getting talented young players, Morgan's alright, but he's at his ceiling, if Milledge reaches his upside, it's a clear win for the Pirates.
