Gohara Starting Tonight

[bravesfanMatt]

Curious how he attacks these guys the second time around. I hope he shows more variety.

Radio didn't like that 2-2 pitch

 

[Enscheff]

That slider is going to chew up LHers.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ump won't call a strike at the knees.

 

[Enscheff]

So far he has below average command, but the ease and balance of his delivery makes me think control won't be a problem for him long term.

 

[Enscheff]

Ump is not giving him the low strike

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

So far he has below average command, but the ease and balance of his delivery makes me think control won't be a problem for him long term.

He seems pretty nimble on his feet. Fielded the bunt well and has shown a good pickoff move.

 

[Freshmaker]

Yeah ump is squeezing him pretty hard this inning - radio has been complaining non-stop

 

[msstate7]

That slider is going to chew up LHers.

Radio says gohara has reverse splits... lefties hit over .300 vs him this year

 

[Enscheff]

Andrus hits a 3-2 fastball up the middle. Gohara isn't going to be able to keep RHers off the fastball without a change up.

 

[atl717]

29 pitches..

Add to that elite stuff and minor league performance. What's your point?

 

[steveAKAslick]

Really got squeezed against the pitcher there, that run should have never happened and should have been out of that inning a lot earlier

 

[bravesfanMatt]

imagine how good or better some of our pitchers could be with a real pitching coach. someone who could teach sequencing, efficiency, and help develop a 3rd pitch for these guys.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Add to that elite stuff and minor league performance. What's your point?

relax.. it is all good. just enjoy the game.

Albies is going to hit a lot of triples with that warning track power he's shown since he's been up.

 

[Freshmaker]

Inciarte with a jack and then Albies with a triple. Way to go boys!

 

[Enscheff]

Radio says gohara has reverse splits... lefties hit over .300 vs him this year

I'd be willing to bet any amount of money he doesn't have reverse platoon splits at the MLB level.

 

[Freshmaker]

and now Freddie with a single to drive in Albies....4 - 2!

 

[Enscheff]

imagine how good or better some of our pitchers could be with a real pitching coach. someone who could teach sequencing, efficiency, and help develop a 3rd pitch for these guys.

A coach that could reliably teach these guys how to throw a change would be the most valuable member of the organization.

 

[Enscheff]

If the Rangers pitcher locates that 87 slider thing to Swanson like he just did to Kemp...it will be instructive.
