The key in all of this is: the M's.

He hadn't pitched in a week. Its not that uncommon for bullpen guys to be off for a few days and then have a few more MPH when they do return to action.

Hot guns or not, the M's werent's able to touch him

Let's be honest here. The M's can't touch anyone this year.
-107 run differential this year. And the lowest Runs scored in the MLB.

He would have shut down anybody last night because he was throwing strikes. When he doesn't try to nitpick at the corners of the strikezone, he can be dominant.

I watched this game and he was only throwing "strikes" because the batters wiffed at pitches out of the strike zone.
I'll reserve judgement on Jenks for when he doesn't face AAAA batting. Would you consider "Z" to be back and dominant when he beats the Pirates?

A 5MPH kick to your fastball doesn't just "appear" out of thin air, sorry.

Hot guns at the Cell?
I don't think you can HGH your way to an instant velocity increase. Not in a couple weeks.

When you take easy-to-obtain and legal insulin with the HGH that is when you get the geek-out effects that enhance power and performance.

Do you carry a "Mentallly Insane" card with you or is that information tattoo'd on you somewhere?

Uh-uh.

That ball was without a doubt getting there faster than the batter expected - look at the last pitch.

Speed guns were not jacked last night - that was real.

Wasn't the last pitch an 87 MPH curveball? Pretty sure it was.

Hot guns, they're still trying to trade Jenks.

I think Jenks was throwing like normal and the Radar Guns were on HGH.

Now doesn't that blow your mind!

My bad - the second to last pitch.

A 98 MPH pitch at the shoulders. I don't think many major leaguers can catch up with a 93 mph pitch at the shoulders really. But again, a 5-7 mph increase probably isn't hgh, it's probably a bullshit gun.

Do you have the game on tape?

The pitch I am thinking of was just above belt-high a bit on the outside edge of the plate (to the lefty). The batter was preparing his swing and in mid cut realized he was waaay too late and drew it back.

No, but I was watching in a semi drunk and stoney state so it's possible my memory is hazy. I recall an outside slider for a called 1st, followed by said high cheese for a swinging 2 (fouled off, behing the plate???), then a fairly nasty curve inside the low inside corner for a swinging 3rd. But again, I was a bit wasted. So... yeah. I was more worried about how to follow my Am, Dm, Em with a Gmaj or to change from Am, Dm, Gmaj at the time.

It is very good to see that the Sox are taking business of the garbage teams in the AL especially with the Twins playing well lately. I am still very pleasantly surprised by Santos and how he is still pitching. Beckham going opposite field was also really good to see.

i still tend to think kenny is on the fence on what to aquire...i think tonight send him in the direction of what to do....if gracia is solid i think he will go with the bat which rumor has it he is leaning towards anyway, but if freddy is bad thats a pretty ominous sign and i think he aquires a # 3 or 4 starter

Has Figgins forgotten how to play baseball after putting on the Mariners uniform?? Nice job running your team out of an inning. Whatever the hell he was trying to do on the base paths was fucking awful.

Nice outing by Freddy. 6 innings 3 runs. This should calm some nerves (yeah, I doubt it too).

4 game sweep and a 1.5 lead. Freddy wins his 10th and the offense put up 9 runs with 4 homers. Good work, Men.

Konerko is going to be dogged by home/road splits regarding his power when he hits free agency...which is why I think he will try to avoid the discussion altogether and give the Sox a nice discount of about 3 years and 27 million.
