5-1-16 Braves at Cubs: Fredi Getting Creative With the Lineup Edition

Missed the first five innings. But jt stuff looks great. High pitch count. But man he is cutting the **** out of the ball. Also that last inning, flowers stole strike 2 on Bryant. He and JT need to work together.
 
It looks to me like Julio has been throwing more 4 seamers lately. His velocity has been way up and he's using his fastball as a strike out pitch by elevating it.
 
Great outing by JT

Really a beastly performance; fun to watch, enough that Teheran temporarily smothered my lust for more losses this season.

Meanwhile: Smith has been swinging great recently, but running the bases like a turd out there.
 
Probably was. Not enough to overturn it though.

This is such a cop out for the umpires. They need to change the rule so that the original call has no bearing on the final decision of a replay. Way too often they just use this excuse to not overturn a call.

If the evidence is clear it's overturned which is how it should be. If there is an obvious error in judgement by the umpires. If it's too close to where even video replay can't decide then you should go with the umpired judgement.
 
The bullpen is totally going to blow this.

Jhey up... Groundball to the right side is practically a lock. Maybe we can hold em to 2. Nevermind, thought 0 outs. Maybe we can hold em to 1
