GDT 7/21/19: Secure the split

Just checked and according the the play by play, Gausman has been exclusively FB/SPL in the first three innings. He's doing well, but kinda disappointing.


Most likely to see it the second and third time around in the batting order. They are just show pitches to try and keep the hitters honest. Dont expect more than 5 of any pitch that isnt FB/Splitter.
 
Gausman might be a genius. Spend weeks telling everyone about these new pitches you’ve developed and do a ton of media interviews about them. Tons of print and stories about these new pitches you’ve worked so hard to develop.

And then when the other team prepares to see them, just never throw them. Checkmate.
 
Can't remember the last time any Braves pitcher not named Maddux had thrown only 41 pitches in four innings.
