Braves go 1-2-3 in 1st vs Liriano

Inciarte Ks looking
Albies jumps 1st pitch FB for FO 7 in gap
Freddie GO 5-3

 

[Enscheff]

Is Wisler tipping his pitches? When he pulls his hand out of his glove during his motion, he holds the ball out in the open for half a second right by his right hip. Seems like the hitter can easily see his grip.

Wisler gets 3 up 3 down, with the chuck Hernandez strike out

 

[Enscheff]

Acuna takes fastball in, then rolls over change away for a tapper foul. Fouled off something low then laid off a fastball up they tried to make him chase. Then they missed in twice to walk him.

Laying off the fastball up was a good sign.

That was a really good plate appearance for Acuna. Took two that were very close instead of biting.

It’s exciting to have a front-office willing to hold Acuña down a few weeks, but more exciting to have a player that makes one really regret the rules that incentivize doing so.

 

[salmagundy]

Is it me or are the baseballs not as hard as normal? Albies FO sounded like mush on a shot near track in gap, Ruiz FO to RF in gap near track sounded like mush, and a couple of GOs also sounded soft.

There goes Wisler's perfect ERA...

It wasn't a bad pitch. sometimes you just tip your cap

I'd be all for offering that 7 year deal plus two options for Acuna right now so he could be there opening day.

That's what I want but make sure he sees more money up front. While the AAV stays the same the fair value of the contract increases.

It's definitely harder to tell with no radar gun, but it seems like Wisler is mixing things up more than I remember (pitches, locations). I think that's the right approach for him since he doesn't really have a consistent out-pitch. His command looks pretty solid overall.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

The combination of abilities that Albies has is fun.

He's talked about regaining feel and confidence in his slider.

lack of clutchness from Fredito there

there would have been some yelling if that was in reg season.

That must be the pitch I've seen he's been able to keep low with late movement. Part of me was thinking it was a change up.

He has given up 4 hits and a walk in 2 IP.

That’s not exactly dominant.

I’m looking for video from home plate to see if he’s tipping his pitches.

 

[salmagundy]

I think Hoye missed that called 3rd strike to Freddie, so does Freddie.

3 Ks for Liriano that inning--Decker, Riley and Freddie
