GDT 5/20 Same Lineup. Better pitcher.

[Hulavol]

We got four straight singles against Cease, up 2-0.

What's up with Lopez's velocity? Thought he's been 95-6

[Hulavol]

Don’t know, but he’s cruising

[Hulavol]

OZUNA BOMB

[msstate7]

Hopefully the bats are back

[zbhargrove]

Damn Olson... do that more

[Hulavol]

It’s the end of days …. AIDS bomb!!

What's up with Lopez's velocity? Thought he's been 95-6

What are you seeing. I saw 95-97 that last inning.

[zbhargrove]

113.4 mph exit velocity on Olson's

[msstate7]

What are you seeing. I saw 95-97 that last inning.

At bat was showing 94s

[bravesfanMatt]

113.4 mph exit velocity on Olson's

That seemed harder than that. It was gone before cease turned his head

[zbhargrove]

What are you seeing. I saw 95-97 that last inning.

Yeah... all I've been seeing all game is 95+ on fastballs... plenty up to 97

[zbhargrove]

At bat was showing 94s

In the first inning he had some fastballs just under 95 at like 94.7 ish... don't think it's that abnormal to get a little more warm in the first... he's been 95-97 since then... on the at-bat app too.

He's also always had the ability to take a little off for more deception... many power pitchers do

[bravesfanMatt]

Easy win would be nice.

[Hulavol]

Hope Bogarts ok…. Acuna awarded a hit and rbi despite trying his best to ground out…..

[BabyElle]

Is speed or accuracy more important in pitching?
Accuracy hands down. A major league hitter can turn on a 95+ mph fastball easily if it's not placed in a good location. A pitcher like Greg Maddox who averaged an 88 mph fastball but had pinpoint location is a Hall of Famer. Placement and off speed pitches is what makes great pitchers.

Mariano Rivera who was probably the greatest closer of all time pitched in the mid-90's but his cut fast ball is what got the batter.

[Hulavol]

Ozzie with play of the week candidate right there

[Hulavol]

Ozzie made all three outs in the inning…. Cool stuff

[bravesfanMatt]

If the Braves can tack on a few more runs I wouldn’t mind seeing Lopez pulled after 6. I know he has a good pitch count but these are the games that are perfect for controlling innings for the starters.

[Hulavol]

Ronnie with a double - that’s a three hit game.

What the hell has the team mom been doing with these boys since last night ?
