Tristan English needs to make the team.

not sure he is in the same Class as everyone else. my Math says his History is just not going to cut it and I don't think the Chemistry is there with the rest of the team.. Science just doesn't agree with you..sorry.

If results hold up, the Braves will be tied for the best record in Baseball this spring... Just saying.

Damn Strider got tagged on a real good pitch - but it was at 94. Then he hits 97 on the next one….

There’s the changeup he’s been working on.

Well this is certainly a take

We will see how posiBrave you are in about 2 months. I have this post bookmarked.

It's great he's "ramped up" to 95.2, which is still lower than his average 2025 velocity when he posted a pedestrian 4.45 ERA and 9.41 K/9.

I've never wanted to be wrong more.

He was touching 97 several times, with 17"of IVB.

“Ramping up” has got to be integrated into the board name someway.

Ramping Up to a Less Gentler, Kinder, Strider?

Also, how he performs in 2 months isn't all that relevant to the point I was making. You made a big deal about him and Lopez throwing in the low 90's and how pitchers don't "ramp up" (despite a quick Google search showing that wasn't true).

Strider and Lopez have both increased velocity fairly significantly from their first start. Whether they can be successful pitchers again is to be seen. Even if they regain and their previous velocity, it isn't a guarantee they will be as successful as before. But suffice to say, you clearly over exaggerated after 1 start.

AA ramping up to more “looking at some things” and “almost making trades.”
