Text	The present weakness of the Indianapolis club seems to be Nolan's wild delivery, and a tendency to weaken when closely pushed. The catching of Flint in all three games [with the Chicagos] has been wonderful, considering Nolan's wild delivery and lack of coolness. Boston Herald May 7, 1878 ...while Nolan is the strength of the team, he is also its weakness. In an up-hill game he loses his head completely, pitches wildly, and becomes, as the boys say, ‘all broke up.” He seems to lack nerve at critical points in a game where he needs it most. There is no doubt that when the conditions are favorable Nolan is the best pitcher in the League, but as before remarked, is prone to go off the handle. Indianapolis Journal May 7, 1878
