Some people say that it was alcolhol and disease that defeated the Indians but I say it was a bad bullphen.

Dude, it’s spring training BP. Who gives a rat’s ass who’s on the mound? She gets the ball over the plate, is throwing in the upper 60’s, low 70’s. Why not have her toss some BP...?

Impressive... my top velocity was 55 mph... that’s why I was banished to the outfield (where my speed/quickness was my contribution to the team).

Exactly, no harm in letting Justine toss BP. As long as she can get it over the plate at a decent velocity, that’s all they need.
