GDT 4/27/25: Braves @ Diamondbacks - Schwellenbach Brings the Broom

[CyYoung31]

Holy shit Nick Allen.

 

[UNCBlue012]

If he could cut back on his fastball usage, he'd be one of the best in baseball. His repertoire is plenty to not need his fastball to be his only setup pitch

 

[CyYoung31]

I'm not feeling his last 3 starts, but only one has a bad FIP

He’s getting some BABIP luck, but also seems to need to readjust his FB command.

I'd like to see him mix in fastball some the 2nd time through after showing his best pitches

 

[msstate7]

How many years we extending Eli?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I'd like to see him mix in fastball some the 2nd time through after showing his best pitches

The problem is he's throwing it like 34% of the time. If he can take it back to like 28% and stop using it in two-strike counts, he'd be golden

 

[msstate7]

Same pitch

 

[UNCBlue012]

These horrible calls are only going against the Braves lmao

 

[Hulavol]

Mets bullpen just blew a huge lead. They were up like 7-0 or something and just lost 8-7.

And Verdugo is good.

 

[msstate7]

Gotta have it, Riley

 

[UNCBlue012]

Verdugo rocks

 

[mfree80]

Verdugo is going to turn out to be what we hoped for from Profar.

 

[Hulavol]

Need a quick 1-2-3 right here

 

[msstate7]

Carroll figured ump would bail him out

 

[UNCBlue012]

Once again, all thanks to the fastball. Totally unnecessary run

 

[msstate7]

Kimbrel getting lit up at Gwinnett. Meanwhile, Dodd with another great inning. Maybe Dodd is the one we should be ready to see, not CK

 

[msstate7]

Once again, all thanks to the fastball. Totally unnecessary run

seems like he would figure out that pitch sucks

 

[mfree80]

Time for the bats to wake up

 

[CyYoung31]

Elder > Schwellenbach IMO

 

[msstate7]

Time for the bats to wake up

Tomorrow. When you see a 1st inning like today, turn the channel... it always ends up like this
