His velocity hasn't been bad, but it has been down. There were even a few rumblings on message boards that perhaps Coco had been on steroids which gave him the extra juice to get his fastball up into the upper 90's...and that the Rangers were now seeing the results of him being off the juice.

Like I said, 93-96 isn't bad velocity, but it's not great for Coco. I've never seen the guy hit 93mph more than a handful of times coming into this season. But, I've seen it probably 10-12 times already this year.

And no, the gun wasn't fast either. Loe was throwing 87-90 with every fastball.
