9/8/15--GDT--Weber Debuts

[50PoundHead]

Let's hope this Weber doesn't serve up meat.

 

[Julio3000]

Is he gonna be smokin, or just another gas leak?

 

[Garmel]

Weber looking good so far. He has an odd delivery and doesn't throw hard. However, he has a lot of movement on his pitches.

Here's hoping he puts his steak, er stake, in the ground.

Pretty rare occurrence for this bunch.

Yeah, the movement is impressive. Reminds me a little of Medlen.

 

[jsebe10]

Markakis still sh*tty with RISP from the leadoff spot

 

[Julio3000]

Well done, Weber.

 

[Garmel]

I'm not sure Weber is starting material because I think hitters would catch on to him the second or third time through the order. He'd look good in the bullpen though.

 

[50PoundHead]

Braves are pleading Nola contendere.

 

[sturg33]

Braves last in MLB in RISP since the all star break... They were 5th before the all star break...

I seem to recall several posters ensuring me that the approach was the reason for the hot start... and not dumb luck

 

[nsacpi]

Is it too late to flip Weber?

Be nice. They're sensitive.

Just looking at his stats and how he pitches, I'm going to go with Bob Tewksbury as my comp.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I like Weber! Good stuff.

 

[Garmel]

Freddie swung at three bad pitches during that at bat.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good to see Olivera on base twice again tonight.

Not that either should be purported as good statistical analysis, but it's not very fair to completely discard that point considering the roster is drastically different.

Never even saw a strike the entire AB. Sh*tty AB by mr franchise

Can't see the game, but given the look of Weber's minor league stats, that might be pretty accurate.
