I see the Braves winning today. But splitting the double header on Monday with us losing the 1st game of course because this team will never get above .500

Win today and take 3 of 5 vs Mets, that would put us at worst 3 games back. If that's where we are on Thursday, I'd buy

I’m fairly skeptical about winning today. I’m pretty concerned that Snit’s bullpen management yesterday? Jackson has to be down. Matzek is probably down too.

Not a concern because we will score over 10 again

[CyYoung31]

Expect Touki to get lit up.

[Hudson2]

Nola hasn’t been that great this year and we beat him last time we faced him. Al depends on Toukis control

[Enscheff]

Touki sinker looks good so far. If he continues to spot it down and away he will have success.

[Enscheff]

And there’s the curve to Harper

[Enscheff]

Now let’s see the splitter to finish him

IF Touki can actually control his pitches with regularity he may become the ace of the staff. Big IF though.

[Garmel]

Damn, Touki.

[thethe]

Hmm...

[Enscheff]

Finished with a curve that was up a bit but so good Harper couldn’t touch it.

This short sample (AAA, last start) has continued to give me greater hope than Wright and Wilson. Agreed big IF but his arm talent is so good. I keep dreaming on him..

[Enscheff]

I think it’s fair to say that Touki with average or better control is roughly Aaron Nola.

Have you ever written up his "Stuff" like you have Wright and Wilson?

[Deester11]

I think it’s fair to say that Touki with average or better control is roughly Aaron Nola.

We'll take that right?

[thewupk]

We'll take that right?

yes

[thewupk]

Hoskins looking like me in MLB The Show on that curve
