May 10, 200619 yr Does haegar incorporate his fastball or any other pitch into the knucker?? How is his knuckerso effective?
May 10, 200619 yr According to KW, Haeger has a hard knuckler and a soft knuckler, in addition to the aforementioned pitches.
May 10, 200619 yr 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.
May 10, 200619 yr 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.
May 10, 200619 yr QUOTE(hi8is @ May 10, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) for what its worth, he does only have 20BB in 40IP in AAA thus far this season. "Only" 20bb in 40ip?
May 10, 200619 yr 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.
May 10, 200619 yr From the Minutia Deapartment: 2 of Haeger's 20 walks in Charlotte were intentional.

May 10, 200619 yr QUOTE(knightni @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) Nope. Urlacher. Eh ... I never saw any video. I was just refering to that particular skinny skanky blonde.
