The Cubs lost (painfully) in Milwaukee, but Rich Harden was strong. There are some pitches missing from PITCHf/x, so there are some missing points in this graph (2nd inning is obviously missing a bunch).Good velocity all game, which is nice considering how he supposedly didn't break 90 in Yankee Staidum (the data from that game has not been posted, but they'll have the system on for Opening Day in Yankee Stadium and Citi Field).Luis Vizcaino made his Cubs debut, and I didn't like it. Vizcaino threw one fastball (90) and there rest were low 80's slider/slutter/cutter things. This strike zone plot should sum it up.
