Turk put 99% effort into every pitch he ever threw for the Mets, that's how dedicated he was to his #. I'm ashamed to be a Mets fan today. This is a travesty of the highest nature.

I'm not sure if a link will work, but David Lennon's Newsday Blog has a thing about Hietpas throwing a knuckler after he couldn't develop a breaking pitch to offset his fastball. It would be interesting to see if Hietpas tries throwing a combination of his fastball (like you said, in the low 90's) and knuckleball or just concentrates on the knuckler.

It was reported he coverted because he could throw low 90's without really trying to pitch. nah, Zac Clements was the catcher turned knuckleballerm Heitpas throws a normal assortment.
