GDT: gNats @ Braves Game 1 4/2

[msstate7]

Was never sold on him either. Has a 95+ fastball as flat as snake nuts and a good curve..

He has supposedly developed this 3rd pitch but whatever. Fckn starter that has a two pitch arsenal. Fck outta here.

Chris archer pretty much 2-pitch pitcher. Has thrown fastball and slider 95.6% of the time during this career

Folty?

I had a pretty good feeling that Jose Ramirez was not going to have a good year based off of last year's peripherals. They were very meh.

Freeman, Minter, and Vizcaino are pretty good but after that it's kind of iffy on who's good and who's not.

Ramirez looks like a guy who should have a very high K/9 to go along with the walks. But he doesn’t. Don’t get it.

 

[salmagundy]

Hey Ramirez....Stop throwing your fckn change up.

Why all the love for the change up tonight. Not just Ramirez but Newk and some from Sanchez.

If the Braves are going to learn to throw a change up, remind me why Hernandez was hired replacing McDo-well?

 

[striker42]

The only good thing about this game is that it still only counts as one loss

 

[CyYoung31]

When is camargo expected back?

Soon. We need a 2nd baseman.

Not a good start, but this is his 2nd appearance this season. Not ready to judge his 2018 season on 2 appearances

 

[CyYoung31]

Great game. Would watch again.

Newcomb has always been a fat ass pitcher. People legit thought he was going to be good?

At least two out of three Johns did.

4.88 FIP last year.

When Karma bites you on your stats, it bites you hard in the butt.

Maybe Chip will get it when we go to Miami.

I was on yay and he was on yay,
In this ballpark by the sea,
But we made pitch with a pitch that was more than a pitch—
I and my Anibal Leads—
With a pitch that the learnèd GMs of SABR
Coveted him and me.

 

[Julio3000]

+1 for the Freddie Garcia callback.

 

[Hulavol]

That was ugly, but as posted above, it is just one loss. For some stupid reason, I like our chances in the next two.

We could have stayed at Turner Field and do even worse.

I really don’t understand anyone but Cobb country residents being upset about the Braves moving.

No proof of this.

The last few years at Ted we were fielding AAAA teams.

This is a good point - that typed, I really like Sutrust. I think they did an amazing job with the park and battery.
Enscheff- what was your impression over the weekend ?

 

[Garmel]

No proof of this.

We had a quad level team last year and we had a decent increase in attendance over the previous year even with a price increase with the seats.

Because the newness factor.

Every new stadium experiences it. A fairly competitive team would have done fine at the TED. I am interested to see how the Braves did in the first year of their new park compared to the last 10 teams that opened a new stadium.

A state of the art stadium in a better location with a nice strip mall is going to outdo a 20 year old stadium in the bad side of town in the long run. The move was smart.
