Leave it to the Braves to juice the gun in an attempt to sell tix.
I suppose Freeman is 100-102 now lol.
Apparently there's a RH gun and lh gun. RH is correct

Regardless of the velocity, I thought he located it well and 95 from the left side is plus any way you slice it.
As others have mentioned, he needs a third pitch that mixes well with his fastball. There were a few too many at bats where hitters were able to foul off his fastball to work walks where he could have struck the hitter out.
I have watched Newk about 7 times in the minors and they don't do guns that often, but I have never seen him hit 100.. never. That said, I knew the Braves weren't purposefully juicing Newks FB. I am just an idiot that I didn't think about different guns for Righties and Lefties. I knew he was going to pitch well today after his first inning. He can be so damn good if he gets that third pitch... really pumped about his start thus far this year.
AND be safe getting back to your hotel.
It took a small shred of common sense to realize Newk wasn't throwing 101, and the gun pointed at him was hot by 4-5 mph.
When I stated as much, the usual derptards that are wrong about everything threw a tantrum.
They were wrong. Again. Like they are always wrong. Yet they continue to argue.
Baffling.
