[bravesfanMatt]

Pretty good lineup of pitchers today. Hope results are better than yesterday.. for all the clubs.

[CJ9]

Three first-rounders and one competitive balance A pick. Not bad.

yeah.. get to watch Sims this afternoon instead of working.. Then watch a little of Wentz and see if he is still struggle to throw hard. Will probably switch to Fried when his starts. I would watch Touki if he was on.. but I might set his game up on radio and just check in...

[Enscheff]

Can we start using their pitcher hybrid names? It really helps ZB understand who we are talking about.

[Preacher]

- very interested to see what kind of stuff Wentz has as he goes through the season - he was a big part of our 'draft strategy' last year.
- Sims is still only 22 years old; I know it seems like he's been around forever, but I'm in no rush to figure out if he's a reliever or starter, he's still got time.
- Any word on how Touki's changeup looks this year?

[thethe]

He left with injury after that start. I haven't heard any updates on him since.. but I haven't looked either. Just glad we took Anderson over him..

Upside

[Preacher]

Groome has/had plenty of upside, I'm not trying to say we did the right thing or that Groome would have been a bad pick -- far too early for that. Just saw his line and thought YIKES.

That said, I'm very happy with the early returns we've seen from Anderson.

[bravesguy]

Sims has a history of getting on streaks where he is incredible (maybe 5-8 starts in a row) and then for some reason then a streak not as well.

Maybe he is getting on one of those streaks. Can only hope.

[bravesfanMatt]

The damn bullpen is going to come in a blow this game for Sims. I hate that when a kid pitches so well.

[bravesfanMatt]

LOL.. did Snit get DFA.. they are going through some bullpen arms in the 8th..

[msstate7]

Blair for Jackson makes no sense unless it is the classic Snit plan of use and send down, then call up, use and send down. I really dislike this approach as confidence is very important for pitchers. Snit is basically telling Jackson that 1 bad outing over shadows his 2 good ones.

No way Jackson should be going down... he was bad last night bc he was tired.

[bravesfanMatt]

He is going down because he was tired... They did this all last year. bring a new guy up for a week or two and then send him down.

[nsacpi]

it is called the AAA shuttle

Let's get boni and recker in the deck then

[thethe]

Jackson with his 5th Homer tonight. Me likey

[bravesfanforlife88]

Acuna with 7 SB this year

[bravesfanforlife88]

Touki with 7 runs on 7 hits over 5 innings. Era over 7 now

That was a strange game. He was cruising. Even in the 2nd. Got ahead of every hitter. 2 quick outs then got ahead 0-2. The hitter just kept fouling off pitches then hit a laser to center. Seemed to rattle him but he then cruised through the 5th. I stopped listening and he promptly fell apart.

[atl717]

The Fried hype is dying down. He's getting roughed up. Also velo is in the low 90s.
