[Enscheff]

Anderson's sudden rash of walks is odd, and starting to become a cause for concern.

[clvclv]

Wonder if Bryse Wilson gets bumped up to the Fire Frogs to take Pike's place.

That's premature imo...

At his level... working on things...etc... comes to mind.

[Preacher]

Anderson's sudden rash of walks is odd, and starting to become a cause for concern.

he's actually getting better results with his control lately.

First 6 starts he was 11.89 K/9 and 5.46 BB/9 with a .344 BABIP
Last 6 starts he is 11.44 K/9 and 3.44 BB/9 with a .390 BABIP

I think he's been really solid, young guy, but strikes out a ton of batters, falling victim a little bit to BABIP gods, still hasn't given up a HR this year and his FIP is 2.94.

4 so far through 4 innings today.. this is why I said he has been a concern to me a few days ago. I watched him a few times early on and his control was superb. lately, it hasn't.

I guess I just didn't remember him walking that many guys that early.. but numbers don't lie

Another note on BB... there have been 12 BB through 6 innings today. the umps get worse the further you get from MLB..

[Super]

Personally I have absolutely zero cause for concern for Anderson's control right now. This is his first season in pro ball...

[smootness]

Well, the pitching also gets worse the further away from MLB you get.

Rome 4, Augusta 2

B.S. White (Save, 7) 1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Tough name for a closer.

[Super]

Albies 2-for-2 with another 2B and 2 SBs.
Now 17 of 18 on steals.

[jimsnores]

SB% is superb. Adds more value to his offense than his OPS would otherwise indicate.

[TheBravos]

Albies 2-for-2 with another 2B and 2 SBs.
Now 17 of 18 on steals.

The further he gets away from the elbow injury....it is very likely the better he will get. That is not an easy injury to come back full speed. Takes time.

[CJ9]

Pretty interesting thing I saw on Twitter.

Ozzie Albies
First 28 games
.244/.276/.370, 1 HR, 9-9 SB, 23.4% K, 4.7% BB
Last 28 games
.304/.370/.470, 2 HR, 8-8 SB, 17.8% K, 7.8% BB

Very promising. Having Albies and Inciarte at the top of the lineup eventually would be great.

[msstate7]

Surprised by JB moss cut. He was a really good player in the Sec. Didnt think he'd make Atlanta, but certainly didn't see him cut this quick

[mqt]

Tough name for a closer.

Didn't we get rid of the other Brandon Wright anyway?

[mqt]

Wonder if Bryse Wilson gets bumped up to the Fire Frogs to take Pike's place.

I'm not going to pretend to know, but it seems like the Braves value a full season at Rome. I'd doubt it.
