Around The Majors 2019

Probably right there with you. Wasn’t there mention of him and Carle tipping pitches last time up?

For some reason I feel like this time he makes a case to stay. I was really impressed the last time up with the stuff, but the location was really lacking.

He’s been on a heater at Gwinnett.

No idea about tipping pitches, but he was scattershot with almost every single pitch. It was really bad for a prospect of his pedigree and age.

They’d have the advantage in almost any matchup.

Especially with Freddie being a slump that hopefully ends soon(1 for last 9, 3 for last 24 --.125). Same with Swanson(1 for last 12, 5 for last 28--.179). Add in Ozzie (3 for last 13), Acuna 2 for last 12). Didn't post about Riley who is in worse shape(4 for last 26-.154) then the others. Don't know if he'll be in Atl or Gwinnett.

I think Kyle Wright was another new ball casualty given that his stuff is unorthodox (much better off speed than his fastball). Not going to name the name that talked about it, but there was someone in another channel that was talking about how his stuff had nowhere near the movement that it had last year in the minors and finally, with his I want to say 7.2 IP 2 unearned start, his pitches were finally starting to move like they were in 2018. To add to that, he was also starting to learn how to sequence better.

So, if/when he's finally announced, or perhaps seen again, it'll be interesting to see if there's differences in the movement on those pitches from earlier in the year.

Can someone who is not at an ortho appointment with kids let me know if Max can even pitch this series based on his 10 day IL started.

He was retroactive on the 13th so he can pitch Saturday or Sunday, probably Sunday i'd assume.

What is most worrisome about this is that we will struggle to win when we don’t score any runs.

Wright vs Strasburg
Julio vs Corbin
Soroka/Gausman vs ?
Soroka/Gausman vs scherzer?

They seems to have the pitching advantage if that's how it plays out. I'm gonna be there Saturday... hopefully it's soroka

If it's Wright tonight, then it's.

Wright/Stras
Julio/Corbin
Soroka/Sanchez
Gausman/Scherzer or Voth

I'd gladly take a split this weekend.

I expected Wright to run with his chance in the rotation at the beginning of this year, but it was clear he wasn't executing/locating his pitches at all.

It will be very interesting to see if he has figured anything out.

I'm still probably the high man on Wright around here.

I’m high on him as well, though I’m a Vandy stan, so...
