   Is Waldron a knuckleballer?

   • Waldron isn’t a typical knuckleballer in the mold of a Tim Wakefield or an R.A. Dickey. The pitch is not his bread-and-butter. He threw more fastballs and sliders than knucklers on Saturday. Given the results, however, it’s worth wondering if an uptick in knuckleballs could be in the offing for Waldron.

   Is the knuckleball back?

   • SAN DIEGO -- The knuckleball is back; long live the knuckleball. Before Saturday night, it had been more than two years since any pitcher had thrown a knuckleball in a Major League game. Then the Padres promoted right-hander Matt Waldron for a spot start -- and one of the sport's most beloved eccentricities returned.

   Is Waldron's knuckler better at sea level?

   • Waldron’s knuckler sits around 80 mph – harder than most. He has struggled this season in the hitter-friendly confines of Triple-A El Paso, where he has posted a 7.02 ERA across 14 appearances. He notched a 2.84 mark the previous season at Double-A San Antonio. There’s some speculation that perhaps the pitch simply plays better at sea level.
