Harrington brought it again....

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Gwinnett rained out

Harrington brought it again....

Can see him being fast-tracked to help in the pen at some point next year.

Havent been able to follow. Is Howard hitting at all?

Basically hits a homerun every couple games and strikes out most every other time. Batting under .200

He ready

Austin Riley, three run homer for Florida in their win. In fact, accounted for all their runs.

Allard, just checking on him, seven strikeouts in 3.2 IP so far

Allard got it rolling tonight 8k thru 4

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Won't discredit what the Mississippi staff is doing. But the barons are prehaps the worst
Offensive team in the history of ****.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

11 Ks. Pretty awesome. Can't believe I am in Disney missing these games in my city. Love the club level of Disney though.

Allard working on those K ratios tonight. 11k thru 6 with 0 walks.

 

[jimsnores]

Allard working on those K ratios tonight. 11k thru 6 with 0 walks.

All those strikeouts increased his pitch count, limiting him to six innings, but three hits and no walks with eleven k's is pretty awesome. Hope he can maintain what he's doing. In AA at his age, it's pretty impressive.

Braves fans reading Allard's line from tonight

Maybe it won't be for us, but I wouldn't pack it in yet on Harrington starting.

It's hard to not be excited about Allard. Dude is our most complete pitching prospect IMO.

 

[thethe]

Allard has always been our best pitching prospect.

 

[TheBravos]

Allard has always been our best pitching prospect.

Funny thing about our depth....you could ask five different guys who our best pitching prospect is, and get five different answers. Every one of those answers could be right.

Absolutely. That's why it's hard for me to label "best." Personally, I think Fried or Newcomb is our "best," but that's a relative word for talent. Allard is the most complete and will probably be ready pretty quickly.

I suppose. I still believe that most wouldefinitely say Allard. For me this is how I see it:

Allard

Newcomb

Anderson

Gohara

Fried

Soroka

Weigel

Sims

Also, I would sleep on Ricard sanchez. Some encouraging reports on him and he's still super young.

Also of not we are very left handed heavy. Wonder if that's intentional.
