Well that was an interesting 9th.
Leadoff PH single followed by a popped-up sac bunt attempt. Then
an error by the SS and passed ball on the catcher. The next
hitter ties it with a sac fly on 1-2. Gray records K #12 on a 97
mph FB to end the inning.

Keep in mind one of those walks was all on the umpire.

Gray has ML mound presence - all business and extreme
confidence. No emotional reactions to the missed calls by the
umps or fielding errors by his teammates. In that way, he
reminds me of Prior.

Of course, it's not a black and white issue.

I was already thinking about Prior from your earlier
comments.... and remembering the evening I watched him pitch
during his brief time in AA, with Hendry sitting two seats away,
and with Prior working at 94-97 into the 7th, hitting the target
so well the catcher probably only needed to move his glove more
than two inches about four times the entire game.... And all I
was thinking was that with Prior joining Wood and Patterson and
Zambrano and Choi, the Cubs were going to make it to the WS
several times in the last ten years.....

Appel's very good. His only problem might be that he's around
the plate too much and will occasionally pay the price. Nothing
wrong with his stuff, control, or command though. He surrendered
a homer tonight, but otherwise was excellent.
