Changes all around,

Kolby Allard in to pitch, walks first batter on 4 pitches gets next guy to ground into DP

Pache takes over in center, Riley takes over at 3b

All 3 are future 4 WAR players

3 up 3 down for Allard, nice way to bounce back after the leadoff walk. Gets last guy to fly out to Center

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Should be Avery, A Jackson, and Didder to lead off the inning

That's Chuck James territory

chuck james would've been a stud if it weren't for those meddling hitters.

Yeah, that’s not going to cut it.

Must be working on other pitches.

Riley and pache beginning their hof careers

And, albeit a few years older, James also posted gaudy minor league statistics, while still being generally younger than the competition. Plus Chuck James had two first names, while Kolby Allard doesn’t even have one.

Saving his arm so he can post accumulated 25 WAR over his first 6 seasons of control. Very considerate. Team first guy.

I expect a team friendly discount buying out 2 years of FA as well with an option at the end

It has been speculated that high velocity increases the risk of injury.

Wisler at 90

Whitley at 87

Allard at 89

The Braves are simply exploiting the newest market inefficiency. If none of your pitchers throw hard, none will get hurt!

I'm watching the gameday app right now and did we seriously just bat out of order? I saw that happen at the USM game a few nights ago. I thought it was ridiculous that it happened at the college level, but in the MLB?!?!
