Gohara Starting Tonight

[Freshmaker]

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

Paging Tom Glavine

Watching Elvis own this game makes me want to strangle a certain man by the suspenders.

Swanny keeps spitting at some pretty good sliders down and away. Really good sign.

 

[Enscheff]

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

Swanson spit on a decent one just off the plate.

Took one on the outside edge for a strike.

Fouled off one that missed over the inner half that should have been crushed. I bet he wants that one back.

The takes were a good sign, imo.

yeah.. 0-2 today, but had two good at bats. seen 13 total pitches.

Albies, man

 

[Enscheff]

Gohara has a weird slider in the low 80s, and a good one in the mid 80s. Almost like he aims the slower one

 

[Enscheff]

Change to Napoli at 87! Another at 89!

 

[sturg33]

gohara looks legit to me.

Just need to get him some minor league umps

 

[Enscheff]

That walk to Napoli was due to missing with 2 change ups to open the AB. Maybe don't wait until the 4th inning to throw the first one so he can keep the feel for it?

 

[Freshmaker]

ump squeezing him like he's a roll of Charmin

 

[bravesfanMatt]

84 pitches with no outs in the 4th. Don't think he makes it through 5.

 

[Enscheff]

Hung that slider to Odor. Major lucky there

He is getting tired. Leaving sliders up is the first sign.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

that helped.

84?

 

[mfree80]

84?

Must have meant 64.

 

[Enscheff]

That 82-83 breaking ball needs to go away. It is not good.

The 85-87 slider is legit.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Walks are killer. Gotta chill with those, Gohara -- especially against the meh hitters.

Also, Will Middlebrooks just tripled. Hello, 2012.

 

[Enscheff]

LOL Nicholas slaps a lucky double down the LF line. Can't walk guys

 

[chop2chip]

Lol Kemp oh Kemp
