Heh... GO BIG PELF, for young Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey

I went to Spring Training with it and our pitchers Billy Wagner and Scott Schoeneweis came over and teased me about it, they had Pelfrey come over and meet me and stuff… was awesome… then the trainers asked me to make 2 GO BIG PELF shirts in Mens sizes and bring them to the next workout.

The trainers had Billy Wagner and our other pitcher Joe Smith wear the shirts at the workout as a surprise to Pelfrey. It turned into an internet story and people started requesting replica shirts. About 130+ people have GO BIG PELF shirts now!

by Manny Trillo on Aug 13, 2008 7:09 PM CDT reply actions  

just in looking very twitchy on the mound even before the first pitch - more fidgety then i've ever seen him

he keeps taking a big deep breath, way more often than usual (was doing this even before he walked anyone)
looks overly hyped up. unfortunately i don’t know enough about mechanics to have any insight on that side. just from a mental/behavioral standpoint, he has looked freaked out and rushing all day

by schmifty on Aug 13, 2008 7:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also, he's looked all flushed/bright red for every single Cubs start

At first I thought it was a sunburn, but you can’t have a sunburn for like 3 weeks. I’ve never seen him getting all red in his A’s days. He must get real excited pitching for this team.

I was trying to watch the game in HD on DirecTV but it is only the Atlanta feed tonight.

So when the Atlanta announcers say, “good eye” when Kotchman takes the 0-2 pitch that hit 5 feet in front of the plate, I decided it was time to turn back to Len & Bob and skip the HD tonight. That had to be a comment straight out of the movie Major League.

Harden has been friggin’ lights out, has shown NO signs of any lingering injury, whereas Gallagher is injured and Murton’s sucking it up. There’s nothing to discuss here, and I don’t understand the point in doing so.

I'd rather see Marshall or Lieber,

Yes, it's weird to have 2 extra days.

I thought that usually gave guys a little extra velocity, though.

by schmifty on Aug 13, 2008 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

it has been 8 days due to the rain out

2 off days and the rain out and 5 normal days btwn = 8

snowman!

My scorecard usually is full of those damn snowmen

I think the extra rest could have put some rust on that arm

you usually feel more on top of your pitches on shorter rest

Why would his Velocity go down

with too much rest?
