GDT 2/25 Braves at Nats

[Enscheff]

Acuna starts off swinging through 2 fastballs then grounds out reaching for a slider away.

He did lay off a slider out of the zone though, so that was a baby step of a good sign.

 

[Enscheff]

Swanson turns on an Scherzer fastball on the inner half for a long bomb to LF. We know he can handle the heater in.

 

[mossy]

Progress from Dans.

 

[Enscheff]

Progress from Dans.

He always handles the fast ball in.

 

[Enscheff]

Preston eaten up inside for a pop up.

Scherzer absolutely carves up Riley for a K.

 

[msstate7]

He always handles the fast ball in.

He struck on fastballs vs wheeler friday, and everyone seemed to be worried then

Kazmir FB around 87-89 right now

 

[Enscheff]

Kazmir sitting 87 with the fastball, 84 with the cutter.

Scherzer was sitting 93.

I suppose it’s only early in the spring for Kazmir.

 

[msstate7]

This is 3rd team we have played and mostly starters have played vs us. Why are we running minor league teams out there?

Where are you seeing anything over 87?

Most starters don’t travel early in spring.

That pretty low for scherzer, no?

Ahhh

Oh, I don’t think Swanson needs to make progress on fastballs.

 

[msstate7]

Oh, I don’t think Swanson needs to make progress on fastballs.

I agree. If Swanson sees fastballs, he will hit

 

[Enscheff]

He averaged 94.0 in 2017.

 

[msstate7]

He averaged 94.0 in 2017.

Surprising to me then. Thought he was 95 or so.

 

[Enscheff]

88 from Kaz right there!

 

[Enscheff]

89!!!

Into Rendon’s ass haha
