Allard is not a particularly big guy, so I wonder if he will be able to hold his velocity over long stretches. I've always liked him even though he fell behind our other guys.
Not to mention that every time we’ve called a pitcher up they’ve thrown harder their first outing and then the velocity has declined over the next few starts. I’m sure in a few weeks Allard will be back to topping out at 90-91. This was his first call up of the year (and only 2nd overall) so he was hurling out there.
Allard's next start is Tuesday at Toronto. Be interesting to see if he can pitch well again
Allard at 93 is a completely different animal than a Allard at 90.
Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Definitely not a fan of the trade if Allard is steady at 93.
Our relievers like 500 posted, three stooges, they suck.
The new BP arms have each faced about 20 whole batters with the Braves...or roughly 1 start for a SP.
This is moronically reactionary, even for this board...
