Kid was a K-Machine in the minors. Velocity seems OK (He's working at 91-93 -- that's pretty much minimum requirements for a RHP), location is fantastic, and he looks to have very good arm action on all his pitches.
He's no different than any other young pitcher, though. You need to work the count against him and force him to come to you with a pitch.

Now 6 Ks for Hudson including 4 in a row.
The other computer I was using crashed, so my PBP is done for the night. Later,

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Incidentally, when I was younger, these kinds of games were my dream: you could heckle from anywhere in the park and EVERY player could hear you.

Boy someone is loud and obnoxious in the stands tonight.
Some heckler is VERY loud in the crowd, you're right. What's the deal??
Phillips hit by the pitch
94 mph off the forearm or wrist. OUCH.
Nix strikes out swinging. 7 Ks.
Well, at least all these Ks are racking up a hefty pitch count for Hudson.

is it just me or could Nix do George Washington's fill-in for profile shots?
