You throw everything that way.

That's why now we're seeing...

he's punched out somebody last night on a 94-mile-an-hour changeup.

That was like my max velocity I threw in a game.

It was 94 like one time.

So it's all relevant to this situation.

Yeah, it's when your offense was as bad as it was last year.

My number one concern with this power team going into the year, it's easy to think I'm smart right now, was defense.

Because of where everybody was.

And I think that the chance that Griffin has of being an elite fielder could really bolster this.

I just think everybody's got to stay patient with Griffin.

And I think Triolo is going to be...

a role player that's really needed on this team, on that left side of the infield.

It just doesn't go smoothly the whole way through.

And he's kind of the whipping boy right now because everybody wants that shiny new toy that's in AAA.

Yeah, and I think the stakes went up for the Pirates yesterday.

If you don't get something done, like Colt Emerson, eight years, $95 million, drafted the year before.

Griffin's numbers last year, significantly better.

Home runs were close, but significantly better.

The 65 stolen bases he had last year, that's the thing everybody forgets about.
