southsider2k5 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Chuck has a mid to upper 80s fastball and a slider that he uses occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 According to KW, Haeger has a hard knuckler and a soft knuckler, in addition to the aforementioned pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 just need decent show me fastball that he can spot. older sox fans remember Wilbur Wood, Eddie Fisher and The Good Doctor -- Hoyt Wilhelm. Wood started both game of a doubleheader once and always threw a s*** pot of innings. Major concern I have tonight is if he walks guys, the Angels will run like crazy. it's tough to catch and it's slow getting to the plate. can't be walkin Figgins.

knightni Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 One of the best "knuckleball" guys ever IMO was Tom Candiotti. He could throw a 94 mph fastball and then come back with a knuckle that would spin you into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If he pitches 6 innings, he'll walk 3. Not horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 QUOTE(knightni @ May 10, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) If he pitches 6 innings, he'll walk 3. Not horrible. 4.5 walks per 9 innings pitched is not good. However, the rest of his numbers in AAA more than balance it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 i think a .5 per IP ratio for a knuckle balla aint bad yO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 From the Minutia Deapartment: 2 of Haeger's 20 walks in Charlotte were intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
