THE 107 MPH MAN: Michael Kopech's quest to be the hardest thrower of all time. Scott Miller National MLB Columnist March 15, 2017 TYLER, Texas — To the classic Bull Durham scene in which we learn candlesticks make nice wedding gifts, add this: Trailer hitches make awesome Christmas presents. It's true. I am in a rental car trailing The Most Interesting Prospect in Baseball to a health-food restaurant for lunch. He has just finished a three-hour-plus workout at his gym, Accelerate Performance Enhancement Center, with a small group of fellow baseball players. It is late January, and in case I lose the gargantuan black Hummer H3 or confuse it with another on the road, I keep my eyes glued to a trailer hitch with the Chicago White Sox logo on it. |

He is going to end up with shoulder or elbow surgery if this is his goal at the tender age of 20. |

I include all Hummer and Land Rover products in my original assessment. Land Rover is really just the female driver's version of Hummer anyway. |

Defenders are cool no way around it. There is something about riding in a Defender that makes you want to put on some beige short shorts, grab your FAL and just look into the distance as you glide across the plains with 5 of your pals. |

Kopech in now against the Cubbies, just throwing gas. What the hell is this sepia filter on everything? Also, Hawk sounds bad. Like, can't-make-it-through-the-season bad. Good. |

He is solely responsible for one of the worst baseball broadcasts in the business, and has been for more than a decade. |

I don't fucking care if this idiot can throw 107 if he can't do it for strikes. |

Hawk is terrible, but I actually hate listen to see/hear him get upset. I liked Kasper with Brenley, but the current broadcast tandem isn't enjoyable. I've soured on Kasper quite a bit. |

| Post subject: | Re: The 107 MPH Man |
Kasper and Hawk both suck, it's just a different kind of suck. I've never liked either and it was tolerable with Brenly but JD blows as much as Len..it's a real tough listen. |
