Brandon Gaudin new play by play guy per reports.

[The Chosen One]

Do we have any reliable spin rate data on Smoltz in his prime?

I would love to know for his slider and splitter. Just absolute filth.

[CyYoung31]

I’d love to get the spin rate on his knuckleball too.

His splitter was ****ing unhittable. Him and Clemens had the best I've seen.

[Enscheff]

I’m guessing smoltz had elite spin rate on that slider, and he would have had plus spin rate on a 4 seamer if he had been brought up in the modern game. Then the split would have had very little spin, acting like an elite change up.

If a team had modern analytics back then I bet he’s the best pitcher in the sport.

I'd love to know the spin rates on:

Unit's slider and 4-seamer
Pedro's curve and 4-seamer
Maddux 2-seamer and change.
Clemens and Schilling Splitter.
Smoltz Slider and Splitter.
Zito's curve.

Ohhh that's a good one.

Peak Rivera cutter.
Wohlers pre-yips.

Zito's curve.

I’d love to see the extension data for Randy. I’d assume that would be 100% with a bullet.

[bravesfanMatt]

Couldn’t there be a reasonable guess based off movement and speed to similar current pitches. I bet it will be done someday.

Neikro and Wakefield’s knuckleball.

Neikro and Wakefield’s knuckleball.

Gaylord Perry's spitball

Neikro and Wakefield’s knuckleball.

Might be able to calculate that yourself by looking at a replay.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

I thought he was a NASCAR driver. :?

[CrimeDog247]

Any one over Brian Jordan works for me TBH. I can't wait to never hear BJ in the booth again, as soon as possible.

The image posted on Bally Sports Twitter page shows neither Paul Byrd or Brian Jordan returning this year.

Looks like Moylan is maybe taking Byrd's spot.

[chop2chip]

I liked Byrd as a sideline guy.

Not sure how I’ll be able to enjoy a Braves game again without Brian Jordan lying to me every other inning about something he claimed he did.

Just saw that and was so happy! I like Paul Byrd from time to time, but BJ was just proof that not all BJs are good.

Especially BJs in the two hole.

your mom seems to enjoy it

[Hudson2]

Is there somebody pissing people off in charge? Chip, Jordan, and Byrd all leaving in the same offseason is strange.
