1. surely the White Sox scored more than a single run off him

2. Why throw many pitch when one pitch do trick

3. Halfway through just realized they couldn’t hit 97 down the middle so what the hell just throw that every pitch

4. power move

5. Essentially an A ball rehab start for our entire team

6. a single tear wells up in Lance McCullers’ eye

7. Pumping gas and letting batter’s burn themselves all night long

8. *pew pew pew*

9. Good guy Luis giving the Sox some free batting practice

10. I feel like Steven Brault went a game for the pirates where he only threw fastballs

    Edit: [69 consecutive heaters](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/10dhlsq/sept_1_2019_steven_brault_throws_69_consecutive/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)

11. Straight up disrespect. 😂

12. Somewhere Woo and Miller smirking lol

13. Throwing curveballs is for pussies -Coach Kent Murphy

14. He gave up his only run of the game on a slider up in the zone and said okay that’s enough of that

15. Swag

16. “Fuck it they ain’t hitting it” – Castillo probably

17. [Why you may ask?](https://media.tenor.com/vXr06DIW_voAAAAd/dave-chappelle-why.gif)

18. If they can’t hit it why not throw it

19. I didn’t realize both how tall he is and how deceptive his delivery is. Makes sense given the dominance. Also, he used to have a sick change up but switched to a slider. Does he throw the change much anymore?

20. adding this to my “list of reasons to be sad that the blue jays did not trade for Castillo last year” list

21. That’s some BIG DICK energy right there. Damn

22. Favorite stat of the season by far

23. Guy is fuckin nasty

24. That vertical elevation and run on his fastball is simply pure filth.

25. *”…in a row?”*

26. Dude is painting the corners with a 97mph, 3700 rpm fastball.

27. Forget the curveball, Ricky, give him the heater

28. Dude went back to the little league days when no one could hit the heat

29. Mid to upper 90’s with late movement is HARD to hit.

    Watching the Dodgers the last few seasons, er… decade, their organization’s philosophy for pitching is simplifying everything and throwing with confidence.

    The pitchers that get traded away are the ones that seem timid on the mound.

30. Pitch 35 the catcher comes to the mound “Luis what’s the plan? This guy is tough?” “I’m thinking fastball.” “Nice nice he won’t expect that”
