    I want to watch AJSS pitch, but when I see Arcia hitting 5th, it makes me want to curl up in a cold shower and cry.

    Both Arcia and Olson swung at breaking balls below the zone. Hopefully they will remember that second time through the order.

    Luke Williams -- I only remember him due to an at-bat he had against Will Smith a couple of years ago.

    Good first inning right there. Good to see him not fazed by the single and seems to have very good control sans a spiked slider in the dirt

    99 fastball with 85 change is good too.

    I am glad they started AJSS vs a light hitting team. Also saw he hit 99.3 mph on a fastball. I remember when we didn't have any hard throwing SP. Now we could potentially pair Strider and AJSS next year both throwing high 90s.

    Hopefully sale will be on top of his game too bc the braves bats have died.

    AJ looks the same to me right now... hard flat FB with inconsistent breaking stuff.. hitters will punish him if it doesn't improve. Just eye test though so will be interested to see stat data on him.

    The curve ball looks really good to me - and if he can locate the change that looks really good too- BIG if of course

    Damn. Albies with the 2nd highset OPS on the team at 718 right now. Didn't think it would get this bad.

    May end up battling the marlins for the worst offense in baseball
