Great '06 matchup on ESPN

[colbyjack]

A little late in the game, since it's already in the 5th, but USC's RHP Ian Kennedy is facing Oregon State's RHP Dallas Buck right now. Both pitchers are getting knocked around more than usual, but you can get a taste of what kind of pitchers they are a year early.

 

Plus, you can also watch a couple of first-rounders, including USC's C Jeff Clement & OSU's CF Jacoby Ellsbury.

Is Ian Kennedy's delivery for real? First time I have seen it, and it is Luis Tiant odd.

He has one of the most odd stretch deliveries, that's for sure. It's like an extreme Mike Mussina.

 

I'm telling you, pro hitters don't hit breaking balls that Kennedy and Buck are throwing tonight with a wood bat. And the radar gun is way off. There's no way Kennedy is throwing 85-89 fastballs.

 

Buck is a stubborn son of a gun. He ran into trouble, and he wouldn't even high-five his own teammates coming back to the dugout that were offering him support after a shaky inning. When the pitching coach came out to talk to him he didn't make much eye contact. Some may chalk this up to questionable character issues, others competitiveness http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .
