I don't think I've ever heard a pre-Steve Perry Journey song. I didn't even know that there was pre-Steve Perry Journey until you said it, but I looked it up and there is.

Yeah, the first album with ex-Zappa drummer Ainsley Dunbar on them were kind of prog-rock/fusion at times. Very different from the later albums.

 

And I do give the band more grief than they probably deserve. Perry had about as pure a rock voice as any band, but the albums just always seemed way over-produced compared to the stuff I was into at the time.

 

Plus, this girl who shot me down in high school was a big Journey fan, so I think I've been subconsciously taking my frustrations out on the group for the last 20 years. :P

Vizcaino should be a damn good major league reliever.

 

-Mid nineties fastball

-Avg to plus slider

-Sinker with rightward movement

 

When you can move the ball both directions on a hitter you can be nasty. Would be nice if he had some control I guess.

Problem has been all year his fastball was consistently 91-92 the entire year up until the colorado series. He hit 96 twice in one at-bat in colorado and since then his velocity is back to how he was throwing last year. Another problem of his was throwing a slider three to four pitches out of every five. He still has a long ass way to go though.

Although I was thinking about sending assassins after Ozzie every inning he sent Viz and Shingo out there, I have to admit that it looks like pure genious now.

 

Maybe even more importantly than the win was how big Viz and Shingo were in pressure situations. These guys, like 'em or not, are in our bullpen, and using them in only mop up duty is a waste of roster spots. It took a lot of guts for Ozzie to put them in there tonight, and the boost to their confidence could play huge dividends later on.

 

Or they could go back to sucking. :D
