Sorry to be self indulgent here, but... 
Balester's last 10 games stats...
12.0 innings, 1 run, 6 hits, 7 walks, 19 K's, ERA 0.75
I think he has settled into the bullpen nicely! Get the walks down and we have something special in Balester! His fastball tonite went 94, 95 , 96, 99 MPH. He's been at 97 MPH before but never to 99 MPH. That was from the radar gun I saw on MASN. His curveball is Nasty!
MASN's gun is a little fast. According to pitch F/X, his average fastball was 95.2 and his fastest one was at 95.8.

I'm excited because the Nats need a big strikeout guy.
