Jake Peavy has right stuff; debut may be days off
Jake Peavy pitched six perfect innings — and one far from perfect — in a 100-pitch outing for the Class AAA Charlotte Knights on Thursday night. [...]
Peavy set out to throw 100 pitches and seven innings, which is exactly what he did. He threw 71 for strikes. In a rocky third inning, he allowed five runs and four hits, including a home run to Ryan Strieby.
He breezed through the other six innings, each three-up, three-down, and finished with five strikeouts and one walk. He struck out the last two batters he faced on seven pitches.
According to the stadium radar gun, Peavy’s fastest pitch was 93 mph. Most of his fastballs were in the upper 80s.

I hope Kotsay gets hit by a dump truck and slips into a coma where he is stuck forever in Baseball purgatory having to bat against a three-headed, six-armed Lefty Hydra consisting of Billy Wagner, Damaso Marte, and Randy Johnson. - Shoeless In SC

Oh well.

Perfect timing
Right when Humber has been his most effective, and more importantly, consistent. Could there be a way to involve Peavy and keep Humber in the rotation? I’d like to see if he’s turned the corner and maybe live up to his draft potential. I know a 6-man rotation was discussed.
fucking redneck couldn't be ready *one day* sooner.
I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.

it wouldn't have been that hard to go down behind the plate and ask a scout with a radar gun what peavy was throwing.
stadium gun. the suntimes sent the white sox beat writer to toledo to cover it and he used the stadium gun. 3 MPH off where he should be is kind of an indicator and not something to be buried at the end of the story.
Doesn't seem like he went to Toledo
There’s no dateline on the story, no quotes from Peavy, and only a response from Don Cooper.
Whales! Squids! Sharks! They're everywhere! Hello, I am Poseidon! Now, when people told me I was crazy that thinly sliced roast beef would be a delicious fast-food option, I knew it was the greatest idea, and you can thank me later for Arby's.
wasn't he in toledo?
someone was tweeting like they were. maybe it was van dyck. anyway, van dyck’s article cites the stadium gun, too.
All Dutch people look alike to you.
Yup. Van Dyck was tweeting it. That’s harder to understand.
