Reds brought him up today and he may see some relief work tonight. I want to see what a 105 MPH fastball looks like.

It looks the same as any other baseball.

Dude throws in the upper 90's and tops out at about 100 (maybe 101). That 103-105 talk is bullshit. He's probably hitting that on the Jugs Gun. The Ray Gun is much more accurate, but the Jugs Gun has become the velocity reader of choice, because even scouts like to see triple digits. But that dude doesn't throw 105 or he wouldn't have had a 5+ e.r.a. as a fucking minor league starting pitcher.

I listen to former players describe his pitching. Please don't rain on my parade. Strike that we haven't had rain for so long the grass is brown. Watch it will rain Thurs when I go see Aerosmith. Reds now 7 games in 1st place. Can they find a way to blow it?

Probably on a Ray Gun ... which at that velocity is about 2 miles less accurate than a Jugs Gun.

then according to your math he hit 101 tonight.. Chapman has pretty flawless mechanics... long legs and stride.. long arms...

Aroldis Chapman hit 103 mph on the radar gun in his 1 inning of work Wednesday night, then got his first big-league win when the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 6-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fuckin' dude can bring it. No doubt.
