Gray went 126 in Blacksburg. Final pitch was clocked at 102. The difference right now is your better offensive club working count.

Both pitchers putting on a show. Best pitching duel in college in a long time.

Uh...shite.

Perhaps the Rockies asked Oklahoma to limit Gray's pitch count.

someone tell Ibarra the ball is a pinata....maybe he'll swing the bat!

Swing the bat.
