"And Joe, what a showcase that'll be. While we get to see the Braves debut of Lucas Sims on the mound and Ozzie Albies at second, we'll also be treated to the Braves debut of Matt "The Bat" Adams in left field. Big City has had a .279 batting average this campaign and shown enough power to move Freddie Freeman to 3B, which was apparently a short term solution. Anything to get Adams' bat into the lineup, eh, Joe?"Quote:

"Right you are, Joe. Stay tuned for this interdivisional matchup between the Dodgers of Los Angeles, many of whom used to be Cubs or will be later, and your Atlanta Braves, from right here in Suntrust Park deep in Cobb County, far removed from the mean streets of Atlanta, right after these messages....<(rummaging around) For christ sakes, Joe, where's my blow? I can't take another Friday night listening to your demented ass talk about these losers without a little something to help me through....Joe! Goddammit, wake up!"
I think it's important during these frustrating times to remember that while our FO has clearly lost their minds, we also have two of the most incompetent announcers in baseball. Fun times in Braves Country!

Best since Andruw out there.
First impression of Sims is that his stuff isn't overpowering but he seems to be locating everything fairly well to start the game. Showed a couple good off speed pitches to get their hitters off balance. Needs to throw his curveball closer to the strike zone to keep hitters honest. Good first inning though.
Gotta admit Sims isn't all that impressive. Fastball is only 91-92 with little movement. The curve, slider, and the changeup are good though.

All about location. Could be a 4th/5th starter, could be Wisler 2.0.Quote:

Nice AB Adams!! That's what I like to see from a cleanup hitter!!
Wondering if he's consciously backed off on his FB velocity this year, and that's what's led to the improved command at Gwinnett.Quote:

Sims reminds me of John Wayne Ennis.
I've said it before, but I've been a Sims fanboy for years and movement is his biggest issue. He has the pitches, but some days his FB is horribly flat. When he's on, dude is a boss thoughQuote:

Yeah, had heard the same. Not watching the Pitch FX, but it seems like he's only throwing two-seamers and no four-seamers. Maybe that only makes an occasional appearance since he doesn't get great results with it.Quote:
