Yeah, this is the first time I've seen him pitch, so no clue if he has two different breaking pitches typically or if it's just inconsistency there. Deester (or anyone else that's watched him in the minors), can you tell us if he usually runs out two different styles of breaking pitches?
To clarify the moves Snit has made:
PH with Lane Adams as the go ahead run in the 7th for the pitcher. Adams now on the bench.
PH with Kemp as the go ahead run for Santana in the 8th, and now the Braves have Kemp in LF in a 1 run game.
Do we see a problem here lol? Here's a hint: A terrible defender is in LF in a high leverage situation while 2 superior defenders are used up and sitting on the bench.
At least Jackson is gone soon
Welp, so much for that.
Luke Jackson straight up sucks.
In my opinion it's a variance of two curves. One which has a more traditional break when it's slowed down and one which is slurvy/slider to me if he throws it harder. Watching him today was almost identical to some of his gwinnett starts but to me, he was tighter when he threw it slower. My view of him in the minors.
I still don't see why we won't play Camargo at 3rd. Strange.

Thanks. That's what it looked like to me as well, and it really gives him three pitches in terms of the effects they have on the batters if that's the case. He was really doing a nice job keeping the hitters off balance with the difference in speed and break on the breaking stuff today.
Well that game got out of control quickly.
At least reed is done for the day
Auyushu, He's also had a little variance in his delivery since coming over. The only issue I ever saw was that sometimes when he slowed the pitch up he left it in hittable spots. He's going to be good when he gains consistency. We won't get this every time out. But if he can be similar...he'll be a workhorse..
I know we need to give guys some rest, but I would've had the regular lineup in there to try and get Newcomb a win instead of splitting the rest between both games. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting Wisler to get hammered in game 2, so I would've preferred if we'd gone all out to try and get the split
