GDT 8/9/13: Marlins (Turner) @ Braves (Beachy) 7:30 PM

His fastball looks very dead straight to me. I think a good hitting team would be killing him. We would be killing him.

As I said before, I think Beachy is pitching fine.

I picture Giancarlo Stanton walking around like this, just all the time.

Still want to see more of this before I'm comfortable. I'm as patient with our homegrown guys as it gets.

So after tonight, we only need to win 13 more.

WE CAN DO THIS!

Let's get Freeman home here.

 

[thethe]

This guy doesn't want to pitch in the zone against us at all.

 

[AUTiger7222]

1884? HOLY WOW!

Chip's Harry Caray impression is devastatingly bad.

Joe always has to do the courtesy laugh.. It's painful.

Fun fact: his grandfather also always loved that damn Glisten.

 

[Julio3000]

Chip's Harry Caray impression is devastatingly bad.

His Skip is bad, too.

 

[Dalyn]

His Skip is bad, too.

His Chip is nothing to brag about.

 

[yeezus]

His Skip is bad, too.

Is there any point in listing the things he's bad at? Just assume it's everything.

 

[Julio3000]

His Chip is nothing to brag about.

Was hoping that was coming.

His fastball looks very dead straight to me. I think a good hitting team would be killing him. We would be killing him.

His fastball has always looked "straight" since he came up. He has a four seamer. What makes his fastball effective is his change up, and also dude before he got hurt, was locating pitches like Medlen was at the end of last season.

I always am surprised when hitters swing and whiff at his 90 mph fastball, but I think his delivery is kind of deceptive because he hides it for so long.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Beachy looks great tonight.
