Fried sitting his usual 93 with that dangerously straight fastball.
Remember al the hooplah about his increased velocity in fall ball? Remember when I was skeptical and folks argued with me?

2-run home run by Wieters. Fried sitting 92-94 on his fastball but it is still straight as an arrow. Doesn't look like he's picked up the 2 seamer like Enscheff had hoped.
And Weiters just vaporized one of those dangerously straight fastballs at 93.
Fried will not be a MLB starter with that fastball.

Fastball still getting killed
AKA International Bonus Pool Slot
It’s probably time to get Fried
Snit pulls him before Harper makes it any worse.
Remember this?
And I said this:
Fried was sitting at 92-93 today. He threw some odd pitches at the end of his outing around 85 that looked like cut fastballs that didn’t cut. They certainly didn’t look like changes.
Are we still going to fall for the “Fried is throwing upper 90s” silliness when every shred of reliable data tells us exactly how he throws?

Acuna watches 2 fastballs for strikes, then hammers one to CF that the wind ate up. That should have been a bomb.
Preston with a solid knock up the middle
Riley Ks...again.
Maaaaybe they should reconsider holding 3b open for him? Maaaaybe look to add some talent at 3b? Someday? Maybe?

Really hate that we kept Chuck Hernandez around as pitching coach.

I was vehemently against courting Moustakas at the beginning of the off-season. But, even in a weak market for FAs, his market seems particularly weak; if the Braves can take advantage of that to the tune of a team-friendly deal, it now seems like it’d be prudent, and worth losing the fourth-round pick. Even if Riley does thethe out this year, it’ll be a good problem to have in advance of 2019.

Snit has ordered the whole team to sandbag for all of spring training. We are executing the plan.

Riley usually starts slow (but I don’t think he’ll be ready this year anyway). Better to take Moose if he’s available cheap.
