...compensate, Cuccia does not pass from the pocket but rather throws on the run, moving left, moving right, backward, forward, underhand, sidearm and even (twice this year) left-handed.

They have been running more traffic than we thought possible and they are bringing the planes in under safer conditions than ever."
