[QUOTE="dawgbasher, post: 433369, member: 3515"] Terrible use of pitching staff by Van Horn of Arky. Should have left Loetsche ( sp?) in since he has mix of off speed, fastballs, and can locate. Brings in Cronin who is STRICTLY a fastball pitcher. Thru 20 something pitches, he throws one curve ball that bounces 12 inches in front of plate. Told my son that one of OSU's stud would crush one cause they were all sitting dead red. Bang. 2 Run homer and game is over. Fastballs are overrated. Always have been. Chart pitches and see how many fastballs are thrown in the zone. Very, very few for good reason. Kids today love the heater, no matter the velocity. Have seen travel ball pitchers that threw 93 plus get crushed because that is all they could throw. I asked HOF pitcher Tom Glavine one time about velocity and how important it was. He looked me right in the eye and said he could get ANY major league hitter out with an 88 mph fastball just knowing where and when to throw it. I will just leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
