I just was surprised that Bruney was (apparently) topping out at a very mediocre speed versus what I thought he had been topping out at. The fact that he was blowing people away would further suggest that the My9 speed reading was off for that matter, too. Could anybody =report what the speeds were shown as being for Bruney on MLB Extra Innings or any other coverage that there may have been? Ro-bin-son (jonR),

(Of course, there weren't many.) But the fastest speed Bruney hit in his inning of work, according to the My9 speed gun coverage was 92 — with most of his fastballs coming in at 91 and his last one at 90.
