It truly is amazing how many turd relievers we've had stocked away this year.

Totally wasn't Fredi's fault. Just noting that Masset is bad at baseball. Gotta call up Viz. At least he has potential so the struggles would have some purpose.

Viz pitched a scoreless inning with a strikeout and no hits or walks today for Gwinnett. I would imagine he will be called up very soon.

Atlanta knows how to lose in style when they lose home extra inning games. Seems as if they give up multiple runs at home in extras the last few years in losses.
Bowman was saying that his curveball still needs work. Have you noticed that or is Bowman full of it as usual?
LOL! I though Masset would at least last until morning. I'm looking forward to see what Vizcaino and Carpenter can do for us.

His curveball looked very good for the most part a few games with Mississippi but his last game in Rome and his first game in Gwinnett he was having some issues with it. So I can see saying it needs some work, esp. if you're going by those two games alone. But if you go by the two before in Mississippi you'd think he was ready. I didn't see today's game so I cannot say how good it looked today. I'll try to review via my MILB.tv account later today's game when they archive it.

That was fast and also good to see Carpenter coming up too. I figured we'd see Carpenter at some point but I wasn't sure when, he has MLB experience with the Angels and has been great with Gwinnett this year. Now we can tell folks David Carpenter is a Brave again and mess with them.
OK, I have one question, you had a decently quick person at 3B a slow as heck guy at 1B with one out, you had Ciriaco a player with better than average speed, but a part time player who had been 0 for 3 up to that point. Why would you not call for a safety squeeze pushing the ball to 1B side to try and score that winning run? It is not as though Ciriaco is a power guy you expect to hit a deep fly ball.......

I know nothing about Carpenter except for what I have read about him. Do you think he has good enough stuff to overcome his high walk rate?
But still more fun to watch

I did. And they did. However, in the same thread I said I wasn't giving up and wouldn't be surprised if they bounced back and they have. The very definition of resiliency.

If he can keep getting ground balls with his sinker he could do well here with our up the middle defense. He hasn't allowed a homer yet this year either. He doesn't have a big fastball, so he won't wow you on the radar gun but he has had a lot of success in Gwinnett with his sinker and slider this year. He doesn't throw his slider for a strike much but it's a good strikeout pitch.
