What would you guess, Dave?

I have many failings, but probably the worst of them is judging
pitching speed on TV, mostly because I can seldom differentiate
fastballs from sliders. All I can really say is that I didn't
see anything to make me think he had better than average
velocity. No comments from the announcers about it.

Double off Miller on first pitch, which looked to be exactly
where he was aiming, low and outside corner. Batter took it
away to ground down right field line.

Slow groundout to second on what I believe a breaking pitch.
Runner to third.

Curve for strike one. Slow grounder past drawn in infield to
right field.

Strike out, throw out steal attempt. Assuming the catcher's
glove was the target, Millers command looked quite good. One
pitch got away, but mostly, the catcher didn't have to move much
to catch the ball. All in all, I thought he looked pretty good.
My guess is mostly breaking balls and change ups.

Pederson struck out against the lefty, and now hit a HR against
the righty.

Like his first, this one was to left center.

Small sample size obviously, but I was a little disappointed in
KThompson.
Rucker looked really good. He threw one pitch like looked to me
like a cut fastball. Craig, do you have any notes on Rucker?
Is there a cutter there?

Not sure my recall is correct, but I thought that Rucker didn't
have a cutter coming out, but had been trying to add one back in
his upper-minors days. Perhaps it was a development pitch then,
and is more consistent now?
