I was looking back at old highlights of Timmy and forgot he used to throw his fastball at 97-98mph! And he had that devastating breaking pitch. I hope he gets the guidance from the pitching coaches he needs with the Angels to utilize the stuff he has now. Just glad he’s still out there able to do what he does and can do it pain free now! Wish him all the best but we’ll miss him in SF.

If you knew anything about the Angels pitching coaches, id say he will be on track for a 9.00 ERA soon.
