Posted August 28, 201014 yr Chapman hit 105 mph on the radar gun, which was also the same number that flashed on a scouts gun, as tweeted by AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price. "That's a heck of a first impression," the scout said. "I had him with three 103s and a 104, and I'd never seen anything above the 100 I got from (Washington's Stephen) Strasburg last spring and the 101 from (Detroit's Joel) Zumaya earlier this year. It's an amazing feat, I had to look around and see if (my gun) was off for that one." ESPN Insider I've got to see this kid pitch in person.
August 29, 201014 yr good god! I was about to say before I opened this that it must have been a janky radar gun.. which happens alot.. but on two different guns? thats unheard of.
September 2, 201014 yr Really makes me wish we coulda got him. Sure would be nice to have a lefty who throws high 90's with a nasty slider. Or 105 outta the pen. Heck we could have used him to bean Morgan. Also makes me wonder why Miller has to suck so much.

A team like the Marlins can't afford to make a Jose Contreras mistake.

Dead people can't steal.

Most people associate the dentist with pain (and being lectured). I used to hate going to the dentist until I found my current one.

Most people associate the dentist with pain (and being lectured). I used to hate going to the dentist until I found my current one. Oh, I'm aware of that, believe me. They also still think dentists have the highest suicide rates. :lol [That's no longer true, by the way.] There is a definite demonizing of dentists in popular culture, though, and it's sad.

Nothing but a bunch of anti-dentites. Though, like I said, I hated going to the dentist until my current one. My previous one was basically stereotypical. Pain and lectures.
