going with the slider more in the second inning and getting it over for strikes...i like that he has both a slider and curve

Strike 4...

That’s pitching in the NL for you.
I saw the sweeping curve and the downer curve that inning. Maybe he should just perfect one first. But his stuff is real.

Really impressive to get out of that with only 1 run given up. Got a bit unlucky on the Riddle hit, but he's gotta lock in and not walk leadoff hitters.

Touki seems to have little control of the CU, and arm side FA control seems to be iffy as well.
The CH doesn't appear to be something he can use as a weapon yet.
idk about 3 different curves, but he's throwing a curve and a slider. seemed to be having trouble getting the curve over to start the 2nd, the slider (slurve? idk) was looking good, tho. getting it over for strikes. curve started to look better as the inning went on as well.

Seems to be able top control the breaking ball really well. Can throw it for a strike, or start it in the strike zone and break it out.
can't believe it's been 3 years since we bought touki. time flies.

I'm seeing slightly different shapes based on slightly different arm angles. The velocity has been right around 76-77, which tells me it's the same pitch.
And he can't control them at all.
I would suggest picking an arm angle and learning to locate it.
I have only seen 3 well located CUs so far. The rest have been either balls or crushable.

His curve is what chef was saying. Same speed. Looks like arm angle determines how it bites. He throws his cut fastball more than I realized.

started ortega off with two CH?

Great change for strike two

ortega swings at ball 4 for a weak ground out to the pitcher

I think touki needs to establish his fastball right now. Guys are not biting on his curve because he is not commanding the fastball. He has to show them that

Rojas hitting for Nitram Odarp
Get off my lawn!
Like strike 2 to Rojas. Good fastball
