A-Rod's July 14th HR Off Schilling
This morning, I can't help but to think back to the 2002 All-Star tie, er, I mean, Game, when Schilling made a 'show' for A-Rod on national TV:
....in the first inning. In the top half, National League pitcher Curt Schilling and catcher Mike Piazza had a little meeting right in front of home plate as Alex Rodriguez prepared to bat. Rodriguez, smiling, angled his ear at them and said, "Huh?" So Schilling told him what they'd talked about: All fastballs. Three fastballs later, Rodriguez had struck out.
What is it that Bud likes to throw around? Oh, yeah, "This time, it counts."

Can't say I'm suprised. From what I've seen, the majority of what Schilling throws is fastballs. Which makes sense considering that he can hump it up there. Straight fastball, too; no movement.
Pretty simple approach to pitching, I can appreciate that
