Ridulous? Hardly.

Dont need to rely on anyone else's gun. I have my own, and I use it quit often, thank you. I'm pretty much up to date on all that stuff, son.

Now it's the best you "recall"? I thought you said that Parker had never beaten him? Which is it? Perhaps you're not as well informed as you let on, or is your memory just selective?


Lack of run support? Yeah, that's what happens sometimes. Sometimes you have to give credit for the opposing pitcher for causing that too. That is why he may not be so unbeatable this year. I'm just not seeing all the heavy lumber this year. One run may be all it takes. Anyway, the best I recall, Chase Richardson put on a hitting clinic against him in that game as well.

I too have a gun Bob. Had a good opportunity to use it a few times this summer. On one such occasion we were pulling the trigger at a Legion game at Paintsville. The Lexington team was playing Morehead.A young fellow was standing beside me and said "say buddy what is that pitcher from Lexington throw'un". I looked at the dial in the 2nd and it read 85. The kid and I were both suprised. The pitcher on the mound was Trevor Gott and by the last of the 3rd he had got my old plug gun to 91. My whole point is one needs to speak of mid 80's with respect. Not a lot of high school pitchers can do it. It concerns me that Shep with a 60 pitch limit during rehab is not really full house throwing. It is of cource understandable during the process. I believe he will however,be up to the task. He threw, asI said previously, 87/88 at Dunbar.(verified) AT the East/West I understand 90/91?
