GDT 4-21 : The Night of The Max Easter Massacre

[Super]

@Buster_ESPN
Some rival evaluators watched Max Fried’s performance Sunday night and were extremely impressed; see him as a frontline talent, No.1/No.2 type starter.

perfect time to deal him for a real ace like..

MadBum or Archer?

When Fried’s unsustainable rate stats start to normalize we will have a lot of very confused posters despite the fact we have the same discussion every single season.

It's time for you to bend the damn knee to Fried.

All pitchers get shelled sometimes (see deGrom, Scherzer, Nola, etc.), I think everyone here understands that except [MENTION=7]thethe[/MENTION].

You are becoming one of my favorite posters.

All talk about Fried's future regression aside, his FA velocity held stable from his last start to this start (93.1 to 93.2) after dropping off from 94.4 and 94.3 his previous 2 starts. That's good news regarding his chances to stick as a SP long term.

Can it be the gun?

I'm sure there are some variations between the Statcast radar tracking systems in the different stadiums, but the 4 previous games were in ATL, COL, ATL, CLE, so he dropped from 94 to 93 in 2 ATL games.

Average velocity goes up and down game to game for pitchers, so as long as it isn't a downward trend over 3-4 starts I don't think there's anything to worry about. I'm sure the Braves analytics team has some metric they track based on velocity and spin rate that determines when a guy is due for his annual 10 day IL vacation. Zimmerman at FG suggested he came up with such a metric on his own, but I can't find the article easily right now.

You should work for the Braves as an analyst (high paying to be honest) and I am not joking. You are good.

I thought he did!

You joking right?

Sarcasm. I don't use emojis.

So we think it was a bad idea to suggest trading him in a 4 player package for Bumgarner extended an additional 6 years?

It was a terrible idea.
