Dont need movement when you can throw the ball 68-69 mph.

Yes... she throws very hard, one of the hardest in the game. But continuing to throw illegally every single pitch is a very poor example for any young pitcher to watch. I'm sure that as hard as she throws, she could be just as effective by NOT stepping 6" forward with every pitch. What difference does it make? It's flat out illegal in the rulebook, and NOT calling it sends the wrong message.

Bravo Jennie Finch on the impressive HR!!

I was fortunate enough to attend the game in person tonight, and Abbott was hitting 70+ many times according to what they were putting up on the scoreboard. The highest I saw was 73.

And that shot by Jennie Finch was an absolute rocket.
