8/13/18 DH GAME THREAD vs MARLINS

[UNCBlue012]

ACUNA OMG

[jpack1]

Man Acuna. Dam

[Enscheff]

So....

How much longer does the .380 OBP hitter bat behind Acuna?

[Orphan Black]

man. Acuna is on fire

yeah he's killing the ball..might end up leading the team in homers at this rate.

[Enscheff]

Albies has taken that lighter bat to the plate when batting LHed lately.

Man I love acuña in the leadoff

[bravesfanforlife88]

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.

Seemed a little pumped up...Will be interesting to see how he settles in

[Super]

Acuña again! the kid is on fire

Low OBP, high ISO guys aren't exactly ideal lead off hitters.

Markakis and Acuna should be switched.

[Carp]

To early to mention he's current throwing a perfect game?

Over a 20 year career, he's on pace to throw for 5760 innings with a 0.00 ERA, no walks or hits allowed, and no K's either. Pretty impressive if he maintains that pace. I think he's got the potential.

pretty poor form for a veteran poster like you to mention a perfect game while in progress

[UNCBlue012]

Ugh

[CyYoung31]

Toussaint sucks.

[jpack1]

Touki needs to get the ball down in this 2nd inning

[Super]

Toussaint sucks.

really shouldve sold high

[Super]

marlin hitters seem to be just sitting on the fastball

[jpack1]

Best curve of the day there

[Super]

3 straights curves..two looking for strikes forced the swing and miss for the K. gonna have to continue to locate the curve to have success.

[msstate7]

Don Sutton loves touki. Praising him big time. Says 3 different curve balls... what the curve look like?
