GDT 9/19 WRATH OF THE BOONDOCK TOUSSAINTS

[Super]

haha ozuna giving touki an up and down head shake after the K..it's crazy how touki's breaking pitch whips

[msstate7]

Touki gonna be so good once his control gets better

[bravesnumberone]

Six freaking walks.

[UNCBlue012]

Touki gonna be so good once his control gets better

Yup. Unlike Newk, I think he has a really good shot at consistently improving as well.

[Super]

NOW, can we get a shutdown inning after scoring?

nope. can't have it. ever.

[UNCBlue012]

FREAKING MOLINA AGAIN.

[bravesnumberone]

No, it's just freaking impossible to get a shutdown inning after scoring three.

[UNCBlue012]

I would absolutely stick with Touki for one more at-bat since he's owned Adams. Venters coming in.

[msstate7]

Will the cards PH?

[bravesnumberone]

Here we go. Lead was nice while it lasted.

[Orphan Black]

Not sure why you take Touki out here...he's K'd Adams twice already and only has 93 pitches.

[UNCBlue012]

Man, that horrible inning in relief has really inflated Touki's ERA. 4.30 while he's probably pitched closer to 3.50 as a starter.

The walks are rough, but the kid is going to be so dang good.

[Enscheff]

The Braves have scored 5 and the Cardinals have scored 2.

What difference does it possibly make when those runs were scored in relation to each other? Why this fascination with the "shut down inning" other than you heard Joe Simpson talk about it?

i haven't heard simpson talk about it at all; i generally don't listen to the games, just watch. i would just prefer to keep a bigger lead right after scoring runs, and it's annoying to have a good inning and immediately surrender runs. that's all, it's just annoying.

**especially when it's happening constantly lately.

[nsacpi]

Venters does his job.

[Enscheff]

Because it's the right move to make

[nsacpi]

Probably Shane Carle in the 7th. He's pretty well rested.

[GeorgiaGirl]

Since Touki isn't an established starter yet, they'd likely much rather he leave with his confidence intact instead of wrecked. He was given Molina purely for developmental purposes, but that was it even if he had owned Matt Adams.

If that's Folty, they likely try to push him longer.

And yeah, since Touki is younger, he's much more likely to improve his command to acceptable.
