HOLY SHIT! New record

[Adios]

SAN DIEGO – Aroldis Chapman(notes) was summoned from the bullpen one batter too late to make a difference in the game. No matter. The 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds  left-hander made do by making history Friday night, throwing the fastest pitch recorded in a major league game, a 105-mph fastball.

The pitch was not a fluke: Chapman threw 25 pitches in his 1 1/3 innings of relief, and every one was at least 100 mph. He didn't throw a slider. He didn't throw a changeup. Why would he?


SOB, you couldn't even see the damn ball!

I wouldn't even try to hit it, for fear of dislocating my wrist.

[Adios]

And he's only a rookie.

[LMNO]

I predict catastrophic shoulder injury by 2013.

[AFK]

I was gonna say, I see another Tommy John in our midst. 

[Suu]

I see another Kenny Powers.
