I feel like a kid at Christmas. I have been waiting for this moment for what seems like forever. Taking afternoon off, cracking a beer.

Only change from usual is Culberson at short, batting 8th. Suzuki catching him.
Swanson got a hit in each of the last 2 games and 0 Ks, and sits vs the lhp. Don't really like this move. I understand Swanson has been struggling, but he showed a little life this weekend... let em face the lefty of the marlins and hopefully get going some

I'm glad I asked
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I expect to see an amped up Touki throwing 97+ early, probably a bit wild...or maybe completely lights out filth.
I expect to see Touki settle in at ~94 with 9"+ VMov and ~5" arm side HMov on the FA.
I expect to see the CU have 7"+ of sink and ~3" of glove side movement, basically Fried's from the other side.
I expect to see Touki flash a CH vs LHHs that is good enough that we can dream on it, but only thrown a handful of times.
I expect to see wildness, but not the "miss the zone by 3 feet" kind we tend to see from Newk...typical 22 year old wildness.

This is a perfect opportunity for Touki....a relatively weak lineup to face in his big league debut
Get off my lawn!

Nice to see someone told Snit that Camargo can't play SS.
Came here to say this. (Responding to Bravesfanforlife, sorry new at this forum stuff)

Good inning for the kid...a few of those breaking balls were called balls but were close....no hard contact

tried to get realmuto to bite at that curve (or get it called a strike) 3 times before getting him to pop out with a 96MPH fastball.
touki is going to be fun #GoodCop

92 FA outside
92 FA outside
94 FA outside, called strike
95 FA outside corner, grounded to 3b
94 FA outer half, strike
76 CU, hung middle/middle, fly out weakly to RF
95 FA, outside corner
96 FA, up and away, fouled off
78 CU, up and in
77 CU, just off the plate down and away
77 CU, outside
96 FA, middle/middle, pop up
FA looks as advertised, and he was likely aiming it a bit to start the game.
CU is more of a sweeper than the downer I expected, but appears legit.
Command is as good as you can reasonably expect from a 22 year old in his MLB debut not named Soroka.
man. Acuna is on fire
