GDT 9/14/20 - Touki returns

[Horsehide Harry]

If Touki and Newk had a love child the kid would wind up and throw the ball to CF on each pitch. And the Braves would be talking about fixing his arm angle.

 

[Horsehide Harry]

Maybe that Touki got killed on horrible sliders and not the pitches that are his good ones?

I wonder where he got the idea that sliders were better?

 

[TheBravos]

I wonder where he got the idea that sliders were better?

Well, I’m sure they probably looked a lot better in side sessions lol.

Paul Bird??

 

[TheBravos]

What kind of swing was that Acuna??

 

[atl717]

Touki just isn't very talented.

 

[Enscheff]

Loving the emotional hot takes on Touki lol.

He needs to ditch the 4 seamer, ditch the slider, and go sinker, curve, and split. It’s really not rocket science to evaluate his stuff.

7” of rise on the 4 seamer. No. Just, no.

That’s really true, but I don’t think he needs another start this year. I don’t know why they have him try this in a MLB start. He needs to work on that while he’s down.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

He needs to throw strikes.

 

[Horsehide Harry]

Gotta even up that runs scored/runs allowed ratio

 

[msstate7]

Luke Jackson k9 last year was 13.13 and bb9 was 3.22. Entering tonight, his k9 was 5.82 and bb9 was 4.76. He done.

 

[TheBravos]

He needs to throw strikes.

*Strikes that aren’t homeruns*

Comeback.is.on.

 

[msstate7]

Comeback.is.on.

Off

 

[Horsehide Harry]

*Strikes that aren’t homeruns*

Strikes that are HR are called hits. He needs to throw strikes.

What we have is nibble, wild, wild, strike, cute, nibble, HR ball... rinse. repeat.

Such is the life of a reliever

When your options are all bad it doesn’t really matter which bad option you use. At least Touki has potential that can click at any time.

 

[thewupk]

You underestimate the ability of our starters to get outs

called it. god im smart

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

There’s a hurricane in my general direction. I’m not in the mood for this

We've almost given back the run differential from the 29-9 game
