Brandon Webb is killing it
- Thread starter I. Cold
- Start date
Yes he is!
D-Backs were my favorite to win the WS at the beginning of the season. It's looking very promising for them. Their pitching staff improved and their batting improved. Justin Upton will be a star. Connor Jackson is under the radar. Stephen Drew will be better than his brother J.D. Micah Owings is a great asset even tho he's a pitcher, the man can hit! He holds High School batting records.

Our pitching staff isn't all that bad. It's offense that we're dying for.
think about it. If Bengie is our cleanup hitter, we have some serious offensive issues.
Don't blame the manager. Blame upper management. The GM will get the book after the season ends.
They should have started all the young guys last season and let them develop into this coming season. But no, they sign these old worthless fucks.
Velez could be special. He just needs to develop. Same with Fred Lewis. Too bad Franderson got injured.

He's been throwing the CH for awhile now, it's not new. Improved possibly, but not new. Here's a pitch chart of him from 2007 that was extracted from the pitch f/x technology now at every MLB park.

I knew myself not from anything like that, rather from the numerous times I charted him last season when I worked in the front office of the Milwaukee Brewers. The CH of his is a nasty pitch but it's been around awhile (and been nasty for awhile), it's just the sinker is so good that sometimes he'll throw it 80% of the time in a ballgame (which is a crazy high fastball percentage for a starting pitcher, I know it's a sinker, but it's classified as a fastball b/c that's how he throws it), making people forget about his secondary stuff. But the CV & CH have been there for awhile.
He's a special special talent. There is a RHP HS kid from Kentucky this year who will be drafted high with the last name of Webb, but there is no relation.
