GDT 4/5/25: Braves vs Marlins - The Turn Around Continues

De La Cruz makes up for the dumb dive play... still what the hell was the runner thinking?

De La Cruz played in the minors in Fayetteville when he was with the Astros. I have season tickets and in his first season he threw this cat out from the warning track in right field. Threw a frozen rope to the plate.
 
He’s just too scattershot with the split and that stupid slider, and can’t work up in the zone with the heater.

Nice! I've been to a handful of Woodpeckers games... my in-laws live in Lumberton
 
The stuff is there. We don’t even see the curve, and that split is very nice.

Splits down, heaters up…that needs to be the plan. I just don’t understand the thought process with that slider that isn’t good and isn’t thrown in good spots. Like…why bother?
