NLCS: Cardinals Beat Mets 3-1, Win Series 4-3, Advance to WS

How cool must David Wright's life be?

 

I'd trade all of Boise and Peoria for him. :lol:

Weaver started dropping his arm angle and got the ball up.

[Bruno7481]

If Weaver keeps this up, you know he will get a decent contract just based off of his playoff success.

[UK1679666180]

Weaver has too many pitches.

 

4 seamer overhand

4 seam 3/4

 

2 seam cutter

slider

curve

change

Nothing wrong with that. Keeps the hitter's guessing.

[UK1679666180]

Keeps them guessing, but they're all avg. to below avg. pitches though. He should scrap that curve and the 3/4 delivery. The change is below avg. but should kept as a show me pitch (I counted 1 to Floyd).

Yes and no. Having that many pitches can cause some issues in execution. I wouldn't think there would be too many nights where he would have control of each and every one of those. Maybe he would be more effective if he cut some of those out and focused on 3-4 of them, perfecting them as much as possible.

 

As far as keeping hitter guessing, it is really a matter of fastball vs. offspeed. You recognize offspeed that it can be anything from a changeup, curveball, slider, etc.

 

I don't think you can guess curveball, slider, etc. You can key off of offspeed vs fastball though, including cutters.

Thats Weaver style though. Thats what got him into the big leagues. I dont have a problem with throwing so many pitches at different arm angles. Develop your own style. If you look at all the pitchers in the major leagues, none throws exactly the same way.

Looks like I was somewhat off on my prediction.

Should have bet the under....

I tghink you're missing the point. It's not that he has his own style, but that by doing so many things ok, he doesn't have a chance to do a few things very well...which would give him more success.

Baseball7897, if you're interested...

 

Tom House is going to be in Des Plaines a week from tomorrow. I have the link to his website somewhere.

[baseball7897]

Weaver pitched pretty well tonight. I think he got a little tired in the 6th which resulted in his fastball being up.

I have some books from him. Even though he is one of the top pitching instructors out there, I trust my coaches in helping me fix my mechanics. My coaches having giving me alot of information the past couple of weeks, about what my main mechanic problems are. I was like Weaver; rushing my body toward the plate.

 

Thanks anyways UK. I appreciate it.

That seems alot like the Mill's program. Teaching proper mechanics, and functional strength are Mill's main points in his program.

Elgin, Sauk Valley, Oakton, Kankakee and someone else I cant remember.

How did Oakton look?

Hey had a kid throwing in the 90's. We beat them 7-5, and 2-0. Overall, they were probably one of the better teams we played, we just played really well against them.

I think that kid throwing in the 90s was Cedric Redmond (Cubs draftee), which is why I asked.
