    For some reason I feel like this time he makes a case to stay. I was really impressed the last time up with the stuff, but the location was really lacking.

    He’s been on a heater at Gwinnett.
    No idea about tipping pitches, but he was scattershot with almost every single pitch. It was really bad for a prospect of his pedigree and age.

    I hope he's happy and healthy... around the end of October

    Can someone who is not at an ortho appointment with kids let me know if Max can even pitch this series based on his 10 day IL started.

Add in Ozzie (3 for last 13), Acuna 2 for last 12). Didn't post about Riley who is in worse shape(4 for last 26-.154) then the others. Don't know if he'll be in Atl or Gwinnett.

    I think Kyle Wright was another new ball casualty given that his stuff is unorthodox (much better off speed than his fastball). Not going to name the name that talked about it, but there was someone in another channel that was talking about how his stuff had nowhere near the movement that it had last year in the minors and finally, with his I want to say 7.2 IP 2 unearned start, his pitches were finally starting to move like they were in 2018. To add to that, he was also starting to learn how to sequence better.

    So, if/when he's finally announced, or perhaps seen again, it'll be interesting to see if there's differences in the movement on those pitches from earlier in the year.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    He was retroactive on the 13th so he can pitch Saturday or Sunday, probably Sunday i'd assume.

    What is most worrisome about this is that we will struggle to win when we don’t score any runs.

    They seems to have the pitching advantage if that's how it plays out. I'm gonna be there Saturday... hopefully it's soroka
    If it's Wright tonight, then it's.

    Wright/Stras
    Julio/Corbin
    Soroka/Sanchez
    Gausman/Scherzer or Voth

    I'd gladly take a split this weekend.

    Doesn't every team struggle to win when they don’t score any runs?

    Yes. But it is important for Braves fans to avoid having unrealistic expectations that the Braves will avoid struggling if they don't score runs.

    It will be very interesting to see if he has figured anything out.

    I'm still probably the high man on Wright around here.
    I’m high on him as well, though I’m a Vandy stan, so...
