why Ozzie in the 5 hole again.. why not Olson/Murph/Ozz/white/big mac/allen..

I guess the thought is if they throw a lefty at Olson, then RH ozz is there... but what about the first 2 to 3 ABs...

Not exactly sure what is so encouraging about this start other than the fact that that he didn’t give up 6 runs.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I’m not encouraged with a 2.00 WHIP and 2 K in 3 IP…and his fastball isn’t good enough without command.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I see it is a LHP.. so now Ozzie at 5 makes a bit more sense... But that leads to the question would Fairchild be better than Verdugo..

Probably increase in velocity and only 1 walk. Not saying I agree, but that's the improvement

Kelenic can't hit AAA pitching either

 

[Nerfherders]

That was always the thing with Kelenic in Seattle. He's stink up the place, they'd send him to Tacoma and he'd become Barry Bonds. Bring him back up and more .600 OPS goodness. The quintessential AAAA player.

 

[Slippyjms]

Does anybody else see Allen ending up as a 3 WAR player for us

 

[USMA76]

Seeing Sale trot to the mound with a 4.84 ERA under his name just seems bizarre.

 

[CyYoung31]

We really need to find 1-2 more starters since Holmes/Elder/AJSS can’t pitch every game.

 

[CyYoung31]

Ok. Fuck you ump.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Lol that slider was literally perfect but they called it a ball.

 

[UNCBlue012]

The fastball is still a bit off, but he's hitting velocity just fine. Slider looks incredible

 

[msstate7]

Great positioning

 

[bravesfanMatt]

man, flash backs to Morton... 0-2 HBP that leads to 2+ runs.

 

[CyYoung31]

Anything less than 20 pitches is a win for Sale.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I just wish twit would try playing some of his bench occasionally. Fairchild is nothing special, but probably better than Verdugo versus a lefty. I wonder if Fairchild even dresses for games or just sits in the stands with a beer.

 

[USMA76]

Just be consistent, blue.

 

[CyYoung31]

1 run on 4 hits incoming.
