    Initially read that as Olivera's Sphincter; premise still seemed entirely plausible.

    Mateo fails to make it out of first inning for Gwinnett, allowing six runs.

    Bethancourt was taken out of the game. I wonder what that is about.

    The Braves have a lot of prospects who have stuff that is nearly un-hittable at times but is very walk happy.

    I was thinking that exact thing. Haha it's good for us though. Fix the control a bit and we are on it.

    Why would that lead to him being pulled out of a game early?

    The Braves scouts and roving pitching instructors typically do an excellent job of making small mechanics tweaks that improve the control a pitcher has. With that said, they are also very known for letting the player do what is comfortable to him and making just minor tweaks.

    Of course, Frank Wren and Jeff Wren damn near wrecked Julio Teheran's career by getting him to make some drastic mechanics changes when he was in AAA back in 2011.

    Check which post of yours I was replying to.

    This response was bizarre enough to crack me up, so touche.

    The way the Braves have handled Bethancourt continues to be a major sore spot in what has otherwise been a very successful season for the team in the player development arena.

    True. However, it's becoming painfully evident that Sims is going to HAVE to make bigger adjustments. If he doesn't, he becomes Folty-Lite (without the plus-plus fastball). His K/BB Rate is now down to a career-low 1.42. Striking out 10.8 batters per 9 is great, but doesn't matter if you're handing out 8 free passes (7.6).
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
