Currently watching the first round of the Big East Tournament, UC-Rutgers. I told myself I wasn't going to get excited or frustrated this game...we'll see how long this lasts.
Went to the rec center today to play some basketball. Went 4-0 against pretty good competition, another solid day in the gym.
Aroldis Chapman made his spring training debut for the Cincinnati Reds yesterday. 2 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts. Hit 100 MPH three times, change-up clocking in at 80...nasty stuff. Reading on his performance I found a couple thing I would like to share:
"The ball hitting Ramon Hernandez's glove sounded like a rife shot. The kid is all elbows and knees. It's almost as if the ball is halfway to the plate before it even leaves his hand, a la Randy Johnson."
"Two batters later Chapman struck out Rick Ankiel on a slider that Ankiel missed by so much he had to be rebooked on a later flight. Watching Ankiel trying to hit Chapman was somewhere between comedy and tragedy; you got the sense that if Ankiel faced Chapman 100 times, he would strike out 100 times."
Anyone else ready for baseball?
Aroldis Chapman..
That is the Truth.
