    No, we are waiting for Strider’s Curve and Acuna’s hold on the leadoff spot to break down Enscheff…..

    —-And official news that the team mom is responsible for MH2 getting all these hits and his own bobble head on July 3; the reinvention of Charlie Culbertson; the electric pitches from Sale; and of course, Strider’s Curve.

    This is the closest data for Strider’s curve we have for now: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get...ers-curveball/

    It looks like it might be his best breaking ball in terms off stuff+, and is his only pitch that actually sinks.

    His curve is the most interesting thing to learn about in the first week of the regular season. Kelenic is the most interesting thing to watch in the first half of the season. And Waldrep is the most interesting thing to watch in the second half of the season. Tons of interesting things with this team…including all the winning.

    Discuss whatever you want, but when it turns into the type of moronic conversation I usually see on the Braves Facebook page I will start mocking the participants. Then they mock me for mocking them, and round and round we go.

    So it might be best to take the derping to the places on the internet where the derpers gather to derp at each other. There are countless options to choose for a derping good time. It would be nice if just this one small corner of the sports internet kept the IQ level of the discourse in the triple digits.

    Cool, so, what do you think Ronald Acunas favorite color is. I am guessing Maroon.

    No idea, but if AA finds out and changes the locker room walls to that color I bet Acuna gives him another hometown discount.

    Looked great early then unforced Errors rattled him and he fell apart with 2 outs… very similar to Philly… needs to work on the mental part of his game. Gets rattled easy.

    I think Foltynewicz' problem was head-related. I just think Elder has a narrow margin for error on the physical side of things. Foltynewicz had good raw stuff, but didn't appear to have the composure to keep it all together.

    The best precaution the team could take to prevent knee soreness would be to stop him from attempting 80 SBs to accumulate 0.5 wins of additional offensive value.
