9/13 GAME DAY thread ... Game Two vs Nats

[Horsehide Harry]

Did they have those M&M adverts up yesterday or did they just put them up for Gohara?

[Southcack77]

I'd love to see Gohara get in better shape.

Yeah, no kidding. Its always been strange to me how MLB is the only sport that doesn't seem to be able to enforce its players being in good condition.

....

Lot of contact that inning.

[Enscheff]

Gohara isn't fooling many RHers, and he won't as long as they don't have to worry about a change.

[USMA76]

I'm thinking Gohara may have the same personal trainer as Bartolo Colon.

[thethe]

Gohara has a real chance at being an ace.

[Hudson2]

Gohara has been impressive and his arm is electric! Him and Wright would make a pretty sweet 1-2

[mfree80]

In the span of about 20 seconds Joe compared the Braves young pitchers to Maddux, Glavine and Scherzer. Nice.

I heard that and thought Enscheff will be all over that one. To be fair... he didn't predict anything about the Braves young pitchers, or really compare them to the big guys. He just said that it takes time for young pitchers to learn to pitch in the Bigs, and pointed to a few really good pitchers who didn't start out really good.

I know you like to look at advanced Stats and use them to predict, and you are good at it. You don't need to pad your argument by reading more into that quote than he actually said. The fact is that all great pitchers don't start out great, and the Braves have a lot of young pitchers with whom they should be a bit patient.

Not an outrageous statement.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Back to back change ups to Zimmerman and then a filthy slider to finish him off.

[Enscheff]

There was a change to Zimmerman. And another back to back. Then slider in the dirt for a K.

The change is key vs RHers.

[thethe]

Gohara is absolutely filthy

Roy HAlladay!

[Enscheff]

Now Kendrick is worried about covering the change. That's all he needs to accomplish with that pitch and he can be a TOR guy.

[thethe]

Somehow gohara strikes out a bunch of guys and is economical with his pitch count. That was his MO in the minors as well.

[Enscheff]

Gohara's control is on point tonight. Let's see how it holds up past the 60 pitch mark.

He started slow (not locating fastball and leaving his slider up) but has been fantastic since the second inning.

Then why not talk about the countless other young pitchers that sucked early in their career and continued to suck until they dropped out of the league?

It's stupid to compare poorly performing pitchers to HOF caliber guys who struggled early. Oh, and Scherzer barely struggled.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Absolutely love Lane Adams as a 4th outfielder. Ton of power and speed.

[thethe]

Albies is a straight up boss

[thethe]

Absolutely love Lane Adams as a 4th outfielder. Ton of power and speed.

Time to dump Kemp (yes I was wrong) and platoon markakis and Adams in LF.

Clearly you've never watched curling
