GDT - August 20, 2018 - Bravos @ Pirates: THE BRYSE IS RIGHT

[msstate7]

Wilson looks good so far. Pumping nothing but fastballs

Then he goes off speed on my ex-bulldog, frazier. Nice

EL's latest scouting report seems to be spot on...

He was absolutely pounding the zone up with FAs. He hasn't even attempted a pitch to his glove side yet.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Very impressive first inning for Wilson. He looks as advertised so far.

 

[The Tariff King]

Wilson looks like a pitcher out there. Just so happens he also throws some heat too. I like.

 

[Tapate50]

Bryce Wilson- not a top -100 guy

 

[BeanieAntics]

Yeah just based off that first inning its hard to believe that he wasn't a unanimous guy. Obviously you can't tell anything from one inning, but his stuff looked like easy top 100 stuff.

 

[Orphan Black]

His change has more vertical movement than I thought...the camera angle and quality of the AA start I saw must have been terrible because it appears to be a much better pitch than I remember seeing.

 

[Hulavol]

Suzuki!!

 

[zbhargrove]

Man talk about a pitcher who really took a step forward. Crazy that he's the 4th pitcher we took that year and he's the also a HS guy and he made it way before the other 3

 

[TheBravos]

Soooo glad we didn’t give up what the Pirates did for Archer. He’s a good pitcher, but the Pirates “player to be named” ended up being their #4 player right. That’s a haul for Archer.

Wilson looks like he might be able to hit ok also...

 

[Braves1976]

Swanson fails again, if we do add someone I'd imagine he loses more AB's than Camargo.

 

[Tapate50]

Consecutive infield pop ups? For real

 

[Braves1976]

Archer does this a lot, almost walked the pitcher again. I think that was high and ball four.

I’ve been preaching for a while now, that he might be one of the best pitchers of the rebuild. So glad he’s getting a chance.

 

[TheBravos]

That’s a strike?!?!

 

[USMA76]

Just wow on the Acuña K.

 

[Braves1976]

Archer is getting outside strikes called, that was ball four. Strike one to Albies was outside too.

 

[mfree80]

Just wow on the Acuña K.

If Archer gets that pitch all night the Braves are in trouble.

 

[CyYoung31]

Just wow on the Acuña K.

He should’ve been rung up on the check swing.

I've been a fan for quite a while. He's just even done a whole lot better than I even expected. Forgot who it was but I lol to the bright poster who said he wasn't ready for AA when he struggled during his first start
