caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) I still think it's worth a shot in September to see if he gains a few mph on the heater Petricka has a better repertoire and certainly a better second pitch. Unless Webb's in the high 90's and not 94-96, he's not going to have a very long shelf life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) The "lucky" home run thing is stupid. The only "luck" he has is being strong and skilled enough to turn deep flyballs into outs. Just like any stat in baseball, it's not perfect. It's a good indicator of the likelihood that he will continue to hit the same pitch out if other conditions of the game changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Webb has much better secondary pitches I guess we heard the same thing about Addison Reed's slider, and it was nowhere as good as advertised (like Sergio Santos' stuff before the injury). All I know is Webb seemingly has little command and almost always puts runners on base whenever I catch a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Someone called into Steve Stone this morning on the Hit & Run show to ask a question.
