GDT 4/15/22: Braves@Padres - Getting on the Wright track

[zbhargrove]

I just tuned in, but I did see a wipeout slider for a K in the 4th

MLB Gameday says he struck out Voit on a slider but I wasn’t watching that inning

It was 87 and snapped about 6” off the outside corner. Very good execution of a chase pitch.

 

[Hudson2]

8 k’s so far for Wright. Dang

 

[Enscheff]

First pitch change to Alfaro, followed by another. Odd choice to a RHH.

Then that curve for a foul.

Missed up and away with the four seamer trying to get a swing.

Buried a change down and in for the K. That was an impressive pitch.

 

[msstate7]

He has been working with Morton

 

[Enscheff]

First pitch curve down and in for a strike, then mortoned the guy with another curve.

 

[zbhargrove]

The increased usage of the sinker and sharper change up are what I think I’ve noticed the most when watching.

 

[Enscheff]

Another first pitch change to a RHH. And another.

Still haven’t seen the sinker.

Wild up again with the 4 seamer.

Throwing something at 90 that isn’t doing much. The 2nd one got hit for a single. That pitch is…not impressive.

 

[drewdat]

Of course

 

[zbhargrove]

82 pitches… may be getting tired

 

[msstate7]

The old Wright would completely lose it now. Hopefully he's past that

 

[CyYoung31]

Lol. Another bloop that scores a run.

It’s weird. He was pounding the zone with the sinker earlier in the game and now he’s reverted to the 4 seamer’s

 

[Enscheff]

Is that his sinker at 90? That’s down by 4 ticks. Is he hurt?

86 pitches. Could be tired

 

[Enscheff]

Another miss up with a fastball, assuming the 4 seamer.

Why is he only throwing the change to RHHs?

 

[msstate7]

That pitch was fat

 

[Enscheff]

Horrible change right down the middle. Luckily the batter didn’t swing haha.

 

[drewdat]

"A little low"

 

[Enscheff]

86 pitches. Could be tired

He isn’t executing at all right now, scattershot all over the place. This has to be it for him
