GDT: Braves at Nats 4/9 Scherzer vs Teheran

1- Ender CF
2- Albies 2B
3- Freeman 1B
4- Markakis RF
5- Suzuki C
6- Tucker LF
7- Swanson SS
8- Flaherty 3B
9- Teheran SP

Not feeling too good about this one, Julio's been bad to start the year, and Scherzer wants some revenge after Braves knocking him around some last week.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Fantastic. CB Bucknor is the home plate ump.

 

[Enscheff]

Oh hell, CB behind the plate.

 

[Enscheff]

Best part about watching the game on my new Fire TV: I can switch to the non-Braves feed and not listen to the dolts employed by FSS.

 

[Heyward]

Well if the zone is like this, hope it goes both ways.

Aaaaand 89, 88, fastballs from Julio.

 

[Enscheff]

Slider looks good though. If he can work that in more he might be able to regain some effectiveness.

 

[dak]

Both command and FB velocity look better to me so far.

 

[Enscheff]

That was a sinker at 91 just a bit low. Good sign.

Slider away at 81. Another good sign.

He just needs to avoid that 90 mph 4 seamer down the middle

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Julio just tried to sneak a fastball by Rendon and it got murdered.

 

[Enscheff]

Like that....

Julio's fastball isn't good enough to miss over the plate...ever.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Can we please just intentionally walk Harper?

 

[Braves1976]

Teheran hit 92.3 mph on that fastball but still a double, velocity is better tonight.

 

[Heyward]

Can we please just intentionally walk Harper?

Ole unintentional intentional walk

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ole unintentional intentional walk

Stupid to even waste the pitches pretending to try to get him to swing. Everyone knows he's Julio's daddy.

 

[Enscheff]

That slider is legit though. He needs to scrap the 4 seamer and go sinker, slider, change.

 

[Braves1976]

91 mph on that k
