    Fried sitting his usual 93 with that dangerously straight fastball.

    Remember al the hooplah about his increased velocity in fall ball? Remember when I was skeptical and folks argued with me?

    2-run home run by Wieters. Fried sitting 92-94 on his fastball but it is still straight as an arrow. Doesn't look like he's picked up the 2 seamer like Enscheff had hoped.

    And Weiters just vaporized one of those dangerously straight fastballs at 93.

    Fried will not be a MLB starter with that fastball.

    Snit pulls him before Harper makes it any worse.

    That is 99 pitches. If you throw out his 10 pitches that were in the mid 80's (safely assuming they were not FF or speed recorded inaccurately) That leaves 89 FF that averaged 94.4. He threw in the 93's 19 times, 94's 26 times, 95's 20 times. I don't have the counts on my sheet, but I did notice several of his 92's and 93's were in hitter counts (2-0, 2-1)..

    I would not say he is a 96 pitcher, but would say he is comfortably hitting 94 -95 in Arizona.
    And I said this:

    Seems...pozzy.
    Fried was sitting at 92-93 today. He threw some odd pitches at the end of his outing around 85 that looked like cut fastballs that didn’t cut. They certainly didn’t look like changes.

    Are we still going to fall for the “Fried is throwing upper 90s” silliness when every shred of reliable data tells us exactly how he throws?

    Or we could use common sense and realize Fried wasn’t throwing 97, nor is he “comfortably hitting 94 -95”.

    Remember the whole “Newk is throwing 100+!!” fiasco where people decided to ignore common sense?

    Acuna watches 2 fastballs for strikes, then hammers one to CF that the wind ate up. That should have been a bomb.

    Do you believe the lip service in regards to holding 3b open? I really don’t at all.

    Really hate that we kept Chuck Hernandez around as pitching coach.

    I was vehemently against courting Moustakas at the beginning of the off-season. But, even in a weak market for FAs, his market seems particularly weak; if the Braves can take advantage of that to the tune of a team-friendly deal, it now seems like it’d be prudent, and worth losing the fourth-round pick. Even if Riley does thethe out this year, it’ll be a good problem to have in advance of 2019.

    Snit has ordered the whole team to sandbag for all of spring training. We are executing the plan.

    Yes. That’s exactly what I said.

    Stating a position should not be held open for a guy is exactly the same as saying he should be dumped.

    Riley usually starts slow (but I don’t think he’ll be ready this year anyway). Better to take Moose if he’s available cheap.
