All Times Eastern

great line up of pitchers.

Anderson could use a good outing, he hasn't been getting shelled but the BBs are getting a little high.

Hopefully Touki can build on his last outing.

I feel pretty good about Anderson at the moment. I think his struggles with walks is just him working on secondary pitches.

12.3 K/9 and he's been hurt by a .398 BABIP, so his ERA is probably a little bit of bad luck.

I like him a lot, but its clear the control needs to keep getting better.

Hope Sims can put the last outing behind him and keep up where he left off before.

His numbers are sort of a hodge-podge right now. High BABIP, slightly low LOB%, but he hasn't given up a HR yet despite a lower GB%. So his ERA probably isn't too abnormally high. You would expect the number of hits to come down but for him to give up more HR moving forward.

Oy... 3rd inning Sims gets a quick first out then walks the bases loaded.

Grand slam. Ouch.

Sims just gave a three run homer. Has given up 4 runs. He just doesn't look ready for the big show yet.

He did until these past 2 starts. But maybe that dominant stretch was a bit of a mirage.

Man, step away for 5 minutes and it goes to ****.. no but watching Sims this game, he was playing with fire. pitches up in zone... a lot.

Pitching up will be ok at suntrust though... ball doesn't carry at all

Weird outing for Sims... there was that one bad inning where the control went off the rails and other than that, he's been pretty good.

When MLB introduces the "throw out your worst inning rule", the Braves will be set!

Let's start a mulligan inning policy. Should keep things interesting.

Sims was what I expect from Sims really. even his clean innings were a struggle. Deep counts. pitches that were complete wastes.. I mean if you throw a FB up.. don't follow it up with another fastball up and away. usually you go down on your next pitch... I felt his whole start today was pretty shaky..

Yeah, I couldn't watch today so I was just looking at the box score.

That should be obvious. 3 walks in 5 innings is the same Sims we have always seen.
