GDT 6/11: pirates @ braves

[striker42]

If Touki ever gets dialed in out of the pen, he's Tom Gordon. That fastball-curve combo is that good.

[Freshmaker]

very efficient, Minter, very efficient...the Board approves

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

I loved Archer’s reaction to Mac’s 6th inning homer, I thought he was going to throw his glove and hat!

[Braves1976]

If Touki ever gets dialed in out of the pen, he's Tom Gordon. That fastball-curve combo is that good.

His pen numbers overall are strong too, isn't he also 3-0 out of the pen this year?

[CyYoung31]

taking Touki out after the k for Minter.

Bell is worse vs LHP. Good move.

When the same song comes around about how the focus on pitching during the rebuild failed don't forget guys like Newk/Touki that have stabilized the pen and on another team would be in the starting rotation.

[Braves1976]

This pitcher with the a name I won't even attempt has an 18.90 era.

[bravesfanMatt]

I had to compliment snit there. Neutralize their best hitter. Loved minter there. That is snit progress there.

[Freshmaker]

Good hustle by Ronald there to stretch that to a double...probably not smart, but it worked

[Enscheff]

One of Folty or Gaus might be out when DK is ready. So far Gaus is performing better.

I REALLY want to operationalize a bullpen rotation... Where Touki, Folty, and Newcomb, all are scheduled to go 2 innings on a 3 day rotation.

1. SP goes 5/6
2. Converted starter goes 2
3. Finish it off with leverage situations

[Freshmaker]

I'm curious if Gausman's injury is real, or more of the phantom variety. Plantar fascitis is a #$%&*, and could certainly explain some of his struggles. If that injury is real then he's going to be out for awhile

[thethe]

Braves will probably stick with Folty all year and I think thats the smart move.

[The Chosen One]

Nobody takes a K with more swag than JD

[striker42]

His pen numbers overall are strong too, isn't he also 3-0 out of the pen this year?

He's been pretty good as a reliever. His stuff is just so reminiscent of Tom Gordon. If he becomes another Gordon, I'll be ecstatic.

[CyYoung31]

That was scolded.

[Braves1976]

.133 hitter just got a hit off Minter.

[Heyward]

Wish we added another run there, too close for comfort.

[Freshmaker]

That was scolded.

well it was being rude
