You gotta pull Julio

 

[Braves1976]

Take his ass out if he cannot throw a fastball! Where's the damn fastballs at, all these off-speed?

 

[thewupk]

Julio's velocity is way down. There's gotta be something wrong

It's called declining ability. And when his control is off like tonight he's not a MLB caliber starter.

86 mph fastball.

 

[USMA76]

Was Ender deking us on that fly ball? You never know with him.

 

[Orphan Black]

Wow Teheran just gave it right back

 

[thethe]

Just get us through the 5th Julio

 

[Braves1976]

Julio pitched almost that entire inning with not throwing fastballs, just a few total and they were not more than 87 mph. Even if his fastball is off he was walking them throwing off-speed and the three run homer was off-speed too. If that was the game plan both Julio and Suzuki need to have their heads checked.

Gohara getting hit hard

 

[chop2chip]

Lol Julio

Guys get used to this. He’s been too bad to trade and young enough to not give up on. Julio is going to be around for a few more years

 

[The Tariff King]

How long till Acuna replaces Markakis behind Freeman? I could see Freeman behind Acuna at some point too if you want him to see more pitches to hit.

Bobby would have put him at third or cleanup the day he was called up.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Braves out on 9 pitches that inning....way to lay down Flaherty Teheran and Inciarte

 

[msstate7]

Gohara...
2.1 ip 6 h 5 er 0 bb 3 k

Not looking like help on the way

 

[chop2chip]

Fastball 87
Slider 86
Change up 85

How does this happen to a guy as young as Julio? Can you think of somebody else whose lost his stuff as quickly as Julio did without injury?

 

[chop2chip]

No excuse for the homeplate ump to miss balls and strikes with the soft stuff Julio’s tossing.

 

[Braves1976]

That last AB was his first with back-to-back fastballs, highest at 88 mph. Got the out on the slider.

Julio was 90 last start. Hope he isn't hurt

 

[thethe]

Good inning. Another 3 julio

 

[thewupk]

Joe is clueless. Talking about Julio sitting at 91-92 previously. Definitely not sir. If you looked at analytics you might know that.

 

[Southcack77]

For the record this would be the Braves last year of control for Teheran had they not extended him.

As a result of the extension they are on hook for 11 million next year.

Someone with a better grasp of arbitration could maybe reply and tell us whether they’ve paid him more or less than they would have if he hadn’t been extended over the control years. I would strongly think more.

Granted he might well be worth 11 million next year but given the Braves youth and his career trajectory I’m not sure its the ideal scenario for him to stay in rotation or eat that money.
