When will Albies figure out how to stop hitting so many weak FBs as a LHH? To me, that’s the #1 issue he has to fix to become the player we all hope he can be.

I haven’t looked at any data on Tomlin, but the eye test tells me he’s 89-91 with the FA, has a downer curve at 77-78, and something around 85 that appears to be a splitter or hard change.
Overall he looks like a back end starter or long man...which is exactly what they picked him up to be.
Anyone wondering what a TOR starter looks like should be watching deGrom right now. They will realize the Braves don’t have anything even resembling it in the entire system and can stop throwing that term around when discussing Braves prospects.
DeGrom is not the guy Duvall wants to be facing with his roster spot on the line.
Where’s Brandon Guyer, and why doesn’t he have a Braves jersey yet?
Touki in to throw the 4th, gets hit on right foot by liner off Rosario's bat, then a 2B pick off error by Touki.
Guess they are trying to see who goes and who stays on the roster because the pitchers are getting lit up today by the Mets.
Let the cream rise to the top.

Have we seen the last of Duval?? 0-1 vs Mutts with a gift BBs(pitcher, 1B, C all gave up on pop foul in front of Braves dugout).
I don't know, I think the Braves have a few guys who have stuff that has the upside of a ToR arm, but almost all of them have either a command issue or an issue developing a 3rd pitch. I'm not sure we have a guy with the upside of Degrom, but I think we have a few guys who have the upside of an Aaron Nola or a Trevor Bauer.
