Snake Bytes 3/16: Moving Closer

[D’backs.com] Weaver welcomes feedback in sim game - After he let go of what he thought might be a good curveball that the batter instead made solid contact on, D-backs right-hander Luke Weaver wanted to know why. So, in between innings he asked the hitter. Of course, you can’t get away with that during a regular season game, or even a Cactus League one, but you can do it if you’re facing a teammate on a backfield in a simulated game. That’s where Weaver was Monday morning, getting in some work on his breaking stuff while Taylor Widener struck out five over 3 1/3 innings against the Mariners in the D-backs’ 6-2 win.
