Default Weaver's fastball in the NLDS

Was it just me, or did Weaver's fastball have some really good movement
on it in the NLDS, not seen before in his starts with us? I've of
course seen better, but it seems to have an extra little squirt on it at
the end that seemed to make it far less hit-able than before. Do you
think he was just throwing a cutter or two-seamer for strikes that he
couldn't locate as well before? I really don't know Weaver. Some
people I work with in TN went "OOO" positively when I told them who was
starting that game.

Default Weaver's fastball in the NLDS

I've posted on this. His reduced and modifed deliver, plus his up tempo has
made a noticable change. I have wondered if Duncah had him during spring
training to work on weaver's motion and delivery what sort of record Weaver
would have for the season.

That is why I wondered (BELOW IN MY EARLIER POST) if Duncan had him during
Spring training...if there would've been a difference.....
