Velocity Isn't Everything

If you watched Brett Myers today you would have quickly realized velocity isn't everything.  Myers was sitting 85-86 and absolutely shoved until the seventh inning while only throwing 51 pitches through 5 innings.  He scattered three hits over 7 innings and only gave up one run.  Pitching is about keeping hitters off balance by mixing up your pitches and staying down in the zone.  The Phillies' hitters were off balance all game while he was pitching and had terrible at-bats.
