Strider on the mound

 

[UNCBlue012]

Marsh gets so insanely lucky against the Braves

 

[CyYoung31]

Take him out.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Strider’s hanging a few too many pitches but his velocity looks good. He also threw two strikes that weren’t called against Harper

 

[CyYoung31]

Now that was classic Strider.

 

[UNCBlue012]

He’s hanging a few too many pitches, but Strider’s velocity is a consistent 98, which is a great sign.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Garbage ump forcing Pillar to expand to his trash strike zone.

 

[Garmel]

He’s hanging a few too many pitches, but Strider’s velocity is a consistent 98, which is a great sign.

Control and velocity are better. A sign his mechanics are getting to where they should be.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

An absolute banger

 

[UNCBlue012]

Squeezes Strider but not Suarez. Makes no sense

 

[thewupk]

Strider is back?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Roger's kid is going to annoy us like Bohm and Marsh, right?

 

[Russ2dollas]

Control and velocity are better. A sign his mechanics are getting to where they should be.

Definitely better .

Still too much middle middle. Especially the fastball.

But more stuff toward the sides of the zone.

I think the velocity dip was him taking some off to try and know where it was going

 

[UNCBlue012]

He’s throwing low-velo middle-middle. Come on, guys

 

[msstate7]

Pretty sure this is the only LHP the braves can't hit

 

[CyYoung31]

The lefties are killing him.

 

[thewupk]

Strider bringing the heat that inning

 

[UNCBlue012]

He just threw one 100 and got Castellanos swinging on a beautiful slider

 

[Russ2dollas]

First inning there was swing and miss on the fastball….good sign

I wish the TV would do a better job of showing us the defensive alignments. I would like to see how defenses are set up.
