Posted May 25, 200519 yr He hit it on a 98-MPH Fastball off Billy Wagner in the 9th... Mike Lowell hit his third homerun in Philly ... on a 98-MPH Fastball by Billy Wagner in the 9th Just a little wierd IMO
May 25, 200519 yr Not that odd considering Wagner's fastballs are often 98mph and he uses that pitch the most.

May 25, 200519 yr How bout the defensive play he made on LoDuca's throw? That was almost as big as his HR
May 25, 200519 yr I also noticed something. Easley Hit the ball $#%# Hard. 782866[/snapback] I saw that too. Crushed.
May 25, 200519 yr It probably looked like a changeup after the preceding 101 mph fastball. :thumbup 782870[/snapback] :lol
May 25, 200519 yr Easley possibly had his best game as a Marlin in terms of impact, if you include the play on Paulie's throw and the clutch homer.

Crushed. 782876[/snapback] Yeah when I saw the replay it looked like one of those cartoons where the ball would start unraveling, it was hit so hard. Can't imagine what it must've looked like at the game.

When Easley hit the ball, less then a second it was in the stands... if you blinked you probably missed the whole play.. :lol
May 25, 200519 yr Easley was sitting on the fastball. Any good MLB hitter should be able to handle a fastball down the middle of the plate.
May 25, 200519 yr Not only that, but they're both right handed infielders whose second to last letter of their last name's is E. Absolutely unbelieveable.
May 26, 200519 yr I don't think it's that big of a deal since Wagner always throws hard and 98MPH is a speed that he reaches often. If it was Al Leiter, or a pitcher who doesn't throw all that hard then it would be a big deal, but it's not.
