Thompson's Heater

My fastball pops in the mitt like a cotton ball.

That's Thompson on the mound. When Springer came in The Goat looked at me and said, "Wow. I don't think Springer throws that hard but at least you can actually hear the ball pop in the catcher's mitt."

I'm glad Thompson is saying he's learned to contain his emotions. Here's hoping he's actually learned how to pitch because his heat up in the zone isn't exactly going to be fear inducing to opposing lineups.
