GDT 5/1/17: Braves vs. MUTTS

[msstate7]

Take Julio out. Damn

 

[USMA76]

Julio Teheran--the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[thewupk]

He had a FIP over 4 though, with a crazy high walk rate. The last time he had a FIP over 4 and a walk rate over 3 was when he sucked in 2015. His GB% is also down. Way too early to make any snap judgements, but the walk rate is very concerning. Julio is a pitcher that has to keep his walk rate down and hit his spots to be successful, or else he'll be lit up.

Walk rate is a huge concern, yes. Julio generally performs better than his FIP though.

Lol

 

[Garmel]

Can't blame Julio there. There's no way you could judge the ball doing that.

You're probably right but the board isn't in a particularly forgiving mood tonight as far as JT is concerned.

 

[TheBravos]

It was a bad break...when it rains it pours.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Anyone else think Julio could be hurt? Dudes fastball is not fast tonight. But he has not been himself this season

 

[jsebe10]

I'm listening to the Meta broadcast and they are making it seem like Syndegard knew he was hurt before taking the mound that night. Dude tore a lat.....

Even still....they are Day and night better than Joe and Chachi

 

[USMA76]

Stupid brick wall cost us two runs. Yeah, I know...

 

[thethe]

Kemp is the man.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Man, Freeman and Kemp are hitting the crap out of the ball.

 

[CyYoung31]

Kemp the Pimp.

 

[sturg33]

How does Freeman not score on that?

Also - a good RF catches that

 

[TheBravos]

Just can't help thinking Kemp might look ugly catching a fly ball next inning though

I'm sure he stayed close to 2nd so he could tag if it was caught.

Sure... but you gotta score. It bounced of the right center field wall

 

[msstate7]

Markakis is a good hitter

 

[thethe]

Markakis is a good hitter

Yup. No question
