Thought I would tune into Baseball Tonight to see the highlights and it may have well been The Mets vs no one because it was all about the Mets. Wisler pitches 8 innings 1 run ball in his debut and they don't even say his name or mention it. Next up a 30 minute break down of the Yankees game.......

Wisler 1st MLB pitcher since 1914 to go 8 innings in debut in so few pitches (88)
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Got to go to the game tonight. Glad they pulled out a win for Wisler.
There were some crazy loud Mets fans in the outfield (until the 9th!!).

Really?
A Braves debut hasn't gone eight since Smoltz 27 years ago. Russ Nixon was the last manager to give a rook the ball in the eighth.
Is it possible Fredi is actually a sentient human being capable of making a good decision once in a while, or are we committed to slamming him bad and good, like Chris Johnson or a long line of whipping boys?
It gets old, is all I'm sayin'. Saint Bobby was a moron when he worked here, too.

Yeah. He doesn't see righties any more, so he doesn't hit them. He's the type of guy who needs to play to stay in a groove.
The guy can hit. Anyone saying otherwise isn't paying attention. I think the real problem everybody has with him is that he's overpaid.
Probably guzzling vodka with another dumb Polack. Kurcz, most likely. It's a mentoring program they have at Gwinnett. Knuckle was telling us about it.

Why waste your time? I haven't watched ESPN in years. It's a regional network.
he can only really hit when he's getting really lucky. he has little power. he can't take a walk, strikes out too much, and is about as slow as any major league player I've ever seen. I really don't see how he can hit. he's a poor overall player.
I'm not giving fredi credit for wisler going 8.
No.

Yeah I havent for years because I got rid of cable TV a long time ago. I got this thing called sling tv that has a few channels including ESPN and ESPN2.

Wisler did not even look like a 22 yr old rookie making his first start in the bigs. Now what do you do with him?
You just keep running him out there and see what he's got. If he struggles you just tip your cap and move on.
He got a lot of at bats last year. The problem is when he isn't hitting he kills the team because he doesn't draw a walk and is poor on defense and the bases. But I do think he should get a game or two a week. It doesn't make sense to bury a player on the bench.
Trying to plan the Wisler HOF trip. Who is coming?

Start him?
Yeah, he needs to be hitting.
Fortunately, when he's not, it's harder for him to kill the team with base running, cause he's rarely on base.
Watching Wisler's highlights, I'm seeing some Tommy Hanson type of mechanics that could indicate issues. He has the same basic start slow, stop arm, then go fast that can be indicative of timing issue.
