Considering how it started, not a bad start for sims

 

[thethe]

Great play neck

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Jo-gun with the slow tag IMO.. close.

 

[jpack1]

You never know what NY is gonna call. Never

 

[CrimeDog247]

Safe after review, right call.

 

[CyYoung31]

That's a BS overturn.

 

[TheBravos]

Those type plays are NEVER overturned against us. Crap.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

He looked safe to me.

 

[thethe]

He looked safe to me.

Agreed

 

[thethe]

Sims with another impressive outing.

 

[TheBravos]

Ok...I always remember Lucas Sims as a mid to high 90's guy in rankings. He was always a "great stuff but inconsistant" guy. I do like his attitude. Where is the velocity?? Has he taken a bunch off to gain control? The strike outs have been there.

 

[msstate7]

After giving up 4 in the 1st, sims gave us 5 straight scoreless innings and stranded a leadoff double in the 6th. For a 2nd start, pretty impressive to me

 

[TheBravos]

Blair or Wisler would have imploded by the 3rd.

 

[msstate7]

Albies needs to hit the weights or quit hitting the ball in the air

 

[nsacpi]

Pleased with what I've seen of Albies and Sims so far.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Sims was a beast after the first inning

 

[msstate7]

Jace last 3 PH chances...

3-3, hr, 2b

 

[thethe]

Pleased with what I've seen of Albies and Sims so far.

Sample size is incredibly small but one thing I think you can see is that Albies pitch recognition is advanced for someone his age.

Glad fried doesn't get normal work so snit can rest him in Atlanta

 

[steveAKAslick]

Bold prediction - we won't see Fried today
