Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
I used to think I had a shot at this. He tops out at 85 if the wind is behind him. Then I watch hitters flail at his change, even though everyone in the stadium knows a change is coming. All of the sudden he puts his seemingly weak-ass fastball in on the hands and gets a pop-up. His curve is pretty nasty as well. I don't think I'd stand a chance after watching Chavez fail miserably. On a related note, how many seasons does Moyer have in him? He's 43--could he go 4 more? Does anybody else marvel at how he can lob the ball in to Major League hitters and make them look silly? For the poll: Assume that you get three AB's and he is pitching at his best.

Re: Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
I think the only thing I'd have going for me is that I haven't faced 95 mph fastballs so his 85 will look fast, as probably will his 70 mph change. The curve would make me look retarded though.

Re: Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
I voted probably, but that's an arrogant vote. With only three at bats it would be very hard, are many major leaguers hitting .333 against this guy? Probably not. Give me 6 at bats.

Re: Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
with a good changeup, 85 can look blazing fast.
who the hell voted "probably"? they better have some pro ball (or some top college ball) under their belts, at least.

Re: Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
Also, I voted after I read the 3 at bats thing. Anybody would need many more at bats than that. But eventually I like to think (arrogantly) that I would get a hit.

Re: Could you get a hit off of Jamie Moyer?
A pitcher like Moyer who can locate and change speeds is the hardest kind to hit. I would have a better chance hitting against a closer who throws only two pitches - a hard fastball and a slider - than I would someone like Moyer, Pedro, Maddux.
