Locked in and loaded with talent.(Baseball)
First come fastballs, then splitters to both sides of the plate, then two fastballs away, a fastball in and another splitter. Phillies reliever Roberto Hernandez, 39, is throwing 96 mph, looking for an inning-ending strikeout.
The hitter never flinches,
No, the hitter fouls off five straight pitches on 1-2, works the count to 3-2, then gets the fastball he wants, up and over the plate, on Hernandez's 11th pitch. Thwack! Single up the middle, driving in a run.
And then it hits you again: That was no 30-year-old veteran at the plate. That was the Marlins' wondrous Miguel Cabrera, who just turned 21.
