    I only listened to an inning or so, but radio said max wasn't throwing curve much... basically fastball and change. Hopefully this high k rate was just him working on those 2 pitches

    "“Yeah, if he doesn’t make our club" Hmmm, our club would be the MLB Braves, not AAA.

    5 IP, 2 H, 1 walk, 3 K's for Wright today. 2.03 ERA for Wright this spring likely ending with baseball being shut down.

    Literally the exact same swing as his dad. Why would we want another disappointing underachiever roaming CF for another 10 years, amirite?

    On a good note, Wright was really good again today: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER (HR), 1 BB, 3 K. His ERA for the spring is 2.03.
