Walks.  It’s about as simple as that.  Plus, the Angels are very bad at evaluating talent. 

I hope this is the Angels making a mistake. Webb should be able to pitch more aggressively with the WALL. He also hides the ball pretty well.

or a first place team to snag an out of options guy off waivers who has struggled, but I’m intrigued by any arm the Orioles bring in with this kind of profile. 

Unusual moves are usual moves for Elias & the O's.

I'm guessing they think Walltimore will help with the home runs, too.

Stuff is good overall, but has allowed 50% of the 22 inherited runners to score, so hopefully they bring him in during a clean inning.

I think he'll get a few weeks to show he can be fixed a bit. Right now I'm ok with him over Krehbiel.

Going to be interesting to see if we feel like he's better than Baker. Definitely worth a look.

How did he look tonight?

I saw him vs altuve. Several very uncomfortable looking swings.

Gotta love the 3/4 delivery. It’s a different look than our other RH relievers. That’s what you want in a bullpen. You want relievers that don’t all look the same. Good pickup. The wall will help him stop nibbling. He’s got some pitches. Let the defense and the wall help.

Mowed them down pretty effortlessly. Fastball 94-95 with good movement, change up looked like a plus pitch. We will see.

Very very good. Let's hope he can continue to do so reliably.
