Dusty:
It was a good day period. Everyone pitched good. Bronson was throwing with more velocity than I remember.
On Cueto not giving in:
When he comes to pitch, he doesn't want to give in to anyone.
On the Phillies keeping their regulars in the game for all 9 innings
I guess that means we won't be seeing any of them tomorrow
Hey, thanks for the good PBP tonight, folks. Very heartening game pitching-wise. They're going to have some decisions to make.
And Hatte could be building his trade value, no?
Nice game.

Wasn't that Arroyo's goal this offseason?Bronson was throwing with more velocity than I remember.
My only concern would be if by trying to throw with more velocity, he loses movement. My college coach tried to get me to increase velocity by throwing more over the top verses from 3/4 slot. The primary effect this had was to straighten out my "fastball". (quotation marks essential when you have Mike Flanaganesque veloity) I tried this in one BP session primarily to allow a couple of guys on the team to have a HR hitting contest. Coach never said anything again about it. I haven't seen any tape on Arroyo this spring, hopefully a velocity increase is not at the expense of his natural movement.
