    He is throwing a 2 seamed fastball now, with the commensurate increased movement. I believe that his 100 mph fastball was a 4 seamer.

    The run on it is so great and I feel it moves late too.  I think Collins was even having some trouble with receiving it.  

    The man trained like a maniac to be who he could be.  Top of the line hoss.  Nu-lan Ryan

    I loved the decision to walk Pujols (runner on 2nd anyway) to get to the Hendriks vs. Iglesias matchup.  I saw bitching about this in the game thread but 1) Pujols homered earlier, 2) Pujols' decline is often overstated because it seems to be interpreted more relative to his own prior performance and not so much relative to the rest of the league, and 3) there is no way in hell even a depleted Pujols is less dangerous than Jose freaking Iglesias.  That pitch Iglesias (from Hendriks) flied out on, Pujols hits out.  

    Great move by TLR.

    Also I don't mind Hendriks getting the rocky debut out of his system.  Maybe he'll relax a bit.  I'm still very worried about that contract but we'll see.  Hopefully he's good.  I wouldn't have done that though and Hahn's FA record still blows.

    The walk was moreso to get Hendricks into the game than to worry about Pujols.  It just looked like he was respecting Pujols.  He really wanted to get Hendricks in the game in the highest leverage spot.
