Lmao @Southcack77 ...I'm a visual and results guy. I get what the analysis is, but that's a rabbit hole to me. When he was ineffective he couldn't throw a strike for shyt. Command. That was always his first issue.

Lmao...grrr

Exactly. He's getting whiffs on it for a reason.

You're definitely not wrong. I've got Gil fatigue...but that's my fault. Ambioris is no longer prospect worthy but he can straight pick it at SS. I judge others against him. Gil is not a bad SS. To your point...I'd like to see more of him at SS. He oozes potential, but his bat has come so far...

Eh...there's a love fest going on with Gil..deservedly so I guess, but his actions at short are meh. He's a "get to the ball" I'm supposed to guy. I've never been overly excited about his range, but he's quick and has good twitch. Maybe? But I was OK with him at 3rd. His bat and that speed will...

Sequence or not, that splitter has been his calling card since Florida and before. His problem has never been that pitch. I personally don't care if it rotates and starts spitting on the batter, it is fact that hitters are clueless against it when he is ahead in the count. That has been the...

Anytime Hula. I appreciate it. Agreed. He's done a great job at every level.

Kelenic had a lot pressure on him in Seattle. So much so that when things went wrong, his emotions led to some ugly situations and immature handling of failure. Not uncommon for someone who's been the stuff of legends since little league. "Entitled" may be overstated but there was some of it...

You can say that as it pertains to the Braves propensity to produce rookie of the year candidates, but I'd venture to say the system is no better or worse than some teams prospects that are drooled over. I wouldn't put them top 5 OVERALL though. But as much as I think AA miscalculated some...

He does not sit high 90's although he can touch it. I think he's better when it's sitting 94...his repeatable delivery is refreshing and his 94 FB looks like 97-98 when's got good command of all his pitches.

First of all, we're not going to let Luke Freaking Waddell tear us asunder!:) That said, he's serviceable and a little bit of do everything average maybe better. I'd have promoted him a million times over Luke Williams. That doesn't say much, but Waddell deserves a shot. Carp ain't wrong...

Kelenic's issues began with his "I belong" attitude and unwillingness to bend. I don't think he's a bad guy, but he was always "I'm HIM" before he earned it. He's had a lot of instructions...but I'm not sure what he's absorbed.

I'm not going to get into any stat vs eye vs reality vs results argument, but I've noted his changes months ago. I've said his splitter is good when he had command of his other pitches and is ahead in the count. At the end of the day, he got major league hitters to look foolish on the pitch...

Dude is not a starter unless he magically finds consistency in the zone. His slider is deadly and his FB explosive. Build up his arm...sure. Starter...eh. And as for Waldrep, it's almost like a few experts began watching this week and noticed his leg kick and adjustments. Lmao...

He's gotta have a few more ticks but command is just as important with him. He's a pitcher in the truest sense.

I keep saying..... The thing that could make the difference for him has always been command to get to the splitter. Anyone can see the difference in him when he's up in the count..0-2, 1-2..etc. That formula will play.

No worries at all. I didn't go back and look....sometimes I have posts ready and don't send.

Hmm...I thought I talked about him a little. I saw him only in a small sample. To that end I was not overwhelmed by his stuff. Even as I say that he was more advanced than the hitters. Set them up well...slider was very good. I'm never a fan of low velocity pitchers fooling hitters at the lower...

Another Dian Toscano you say?

😂😂😂. Good old fashioned ol school fk yo feelings. Lmao
