3/25 GDT Fried vs Reds

[Enscheff]

Eye test tells me Fried is still throwing that flat FA at 94+, but real data will be available soon enough.

Curve is obviously still legit.

Fried appears to be trying to work the CH in early against LHHs, probably just to work on it.

He then didn't throw a single CH to Kemp, Suarez, or Puig, which is when you'd expect him to throw it.

Got squeezed on to 1-1 pitch on a FA at the bottom of the zone to Suarez, then a grounder booted by Swanson.

Fried's command looked acceptable. Was in/out and up/down pretty much as Flowers wanted. Everyone walks Votto.

[Enscheff]

Why Inciarte is pulling balls into the shift is a mystery to me. That 40% pull rate from last year needs to go away.

JD smoked that ball for an out to LF. Good PA.

The Reds are using 4 OFers vs FF...with nobody on the SS/3B side of the IF. Crazy. FF struck out.

My question is "How drunk was Donaldson when he went to Cost Cutters?"

[50PoundHead]

That 0-0 to peraza at 93 didn't look straight at all

Freid had a tough first inning command wise and I think that was mainly due to the rain. It was pouring...

Good to see Donaldson with a double but man is he slow

[Heyward]

Donaldson laced that one. Man his swing is so good.

[50PoundHead]

I have little faith in Venters.

He doesnt lack confidence lol.

Doesn’t he understand that counting stats dont matter anymore. He doesn’t believe in the new age stats I guess. Ha no wonder the Braves signed him. The old school guys in the front office must have made AA sign hm.
