Donaldson going off today... 2 extra base hits
Expecting a minimum of 6 k's by Wilson.
Forever Fredi
I'm expecting Swanson to get a couple hits today.
That's a given. Swanson's weak wrist from puberty hitting him harder than most is gone... Silver slugger nowOriginally Posted by striker42
Pete Alonso may be the next big thing in the east. He is absolutely destroying the ball today vs the nats
Some good news on the injury front...
The Chosen One (03-30-2019)
expecting a yuge game from Flowers
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
A lot of talk about Wilson’s improved slider. Perhaps whatever voodoo gave Fried a nasty slider has also made Wilson’s better.
We will see.
Do secondary pitches peak for a pitcher around a certain age? Seems like they peak later than fastball. I have never pitched though
Batting Ender lead off was genius!!
Damn JD
Amazing how much better these road alts look compared to the previous ones we wore for 10 years.

Still don’t like the new road font.
I haven’t seen any data about aging curves on breaking pitches. All data has been purely velocity related.
I would guess that tweaking spin axis and arm slot are things pitchers can improve upon with analytics and hard work, so it stands to reason they can be improved at almost any age.
Just the capital A tilting more? lol

Wilson sitting at 91 early with the FA isn’t exactly encouraging, but the eye test suggests the slider is more of a downer than it was last year.
Both hits in the air
He got em.
