GDT: BRAVES VS PIRATES GAME 4

[Braves1976]

I have a feeling we could see Jenkins on sunday

Nah, Jenkins wouldn't have enough rest to start Sunday as he pitched yesterday. If not Gant they said Kelly or Norris.

Folty doesn't have enough secondary stuff to help him get by when his fastball command is off like tonight.

His slider is much better than last year but it still needs to get better. His main problem is that he needs a reliable 3rd pitch. His changeup is pretty crappy.

His slider has always been inconsistent in that at times it looks better and then like tonight they're fouling it or get hits on it for most part. His change-up he rarely throws anymore because it's below average or pretty crappy as you say.

Gant is warming in the pen. He'll likely enter in the fifth. If so, Casey Kelly becomes the top candidate to start on Sunday.

Markakis? More like πιο κακός with the glove out there.

Annoying. I would've liked to have seen Gant start Sunday.

Me too. I like him better starting than out of the bullpen. Plus I don't think this is regular rest for him.

Tonight he's getting his slider too high in the zone and it's getting crushed. However, I think it moves a lot better than it did last year. Fastball command can be little rough but it's a lot better than last year too. He's made good progress but he's got a ways to go.

 

[Braves1976]

Gant got outs on his curveball, fastball and change-up that inning.

Frenchy having a game tonight.

"Grip it and rip it!"

No doubt pure coincidence that Chip yelled that just as Francoeur hit it out.

Keep the line moving.

What is it with Markakis never the throwing the ball? That was a late and bad throw.

As you said we have someone in left field with a much better arm. I can't figure out why they don't switch positions.

 

[Braves1976]

That ball was not tipped, that was a strikeout!

This bull****, he struck him out and now he gets a walk after that. He didn't even come close to tipping that ball!

He's so swole from all of the offseason lifting that he's lost some quickness.

 

[Braves1976]

What a wasted use of Gant. I've seen enough.

Was watching a movie on Showtime, is this good or bad?

Depends on how much more of Francoeur you want to watch this season.
