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

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Smoltz was pretty damn good when he came back to start. Definite ace IMO

Medlen was an ace when he wasn't getting tommy john.

When Meds didn’t lose like Forever.

I am concerned for the safety of some of our posters when Fried gets shelled in one of his outings. He is still young and growing in his potential. I expect a good year from him but he will most certainly fall from this elite status before this year is over. I more excited what he becomes next year and the year after.

@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.

Me and UNC knew all along.

Its a good thing he wont let up another run this year

As I said in the GDT, I will just appreciate watching Fried dominate like this as long as he can until he gets the inevitable 2nd TJ.

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

You didn’t watch the Game of Thrones?

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.

What about Buster Olney?

Its unsustainable for all men not named Fried

All of this talk of Fried is making me want some Prince’s.

Gausman is the pitcher who seems to be taking a big step forward. Wouldn't be surprised to see him have a career season.

Could he be a flip candidate in the offseason?

why flip our best pitcher

I thought that’s what the Braves did best.

I feel like we’ll probably extend him or Folty. I think some of the young guys would have to step up big time for us to trade one early though.
