GDT 5/20 Same Lineup. Better pitcher.

At bat was showing 94s

In the first inning he had some fastballs just under 95 at like 94.7 ish... don't think it's that abnormal to get a little more warm in the first... he's been 95-97 since then... on the at-bat app too.

He's also always had the ability to take a little off for more deception... many power pitchers do
 
Is speed or accuracy more important in pitching?
Accuracy hands down. A major league hitter can turn on a 95+ mph fastball easily if it's not placed in a good location. A pitcher like Greg Maddox who averaged an 88 mph fastball but had pinpoint location is a Hall of Famer. Placement and off speed pitches is what makes great pitchers.

Mariano Rivera who was probably the greatest closer of all time pitched in the mid-90's but his cut fast ball is what got the batter.
 
If the Braves can tack on a few more runs I wouldn’t mind seeing Lopez pulled after 6. I know he has a good pitch count but these are the games that are perfect for controlling innings for the starters.
 
Ronnie with a double - that’s a three hit game.

What the hell has the team mom been doing with these boys since last night ?
