gilesfan making his return soon

Wait - I forgot about that - we can’t have GF running around here.

Can you imagine him and chef ? No thank you.
For this reason alone, I hope Giles’ arm falls off- unless we can get some assurances that premium membership excludes GF.

Guys with a slider and curve often end up with a slurve, hard to tell them apart. Myself, I thought he had a good looking change last year, just needed to throw it more.

Gonna see MH2 hit his third no- doubter of the spring ? Methinks so!

Wall took eflin deep. That's his 2nd this spring.

Strider is through two innings with four strikeouts. Three of them on the curveball and one of them on the changeup. Fastball sitting 98-99.

Bowman wrote today that Matzek sat 88-89 in his spring debut the other day. Gross.

Yeah it was always likely that he was done

Striders 'curve' looks more like a slower slider. Its definitely more 3-9 than 12-6

This is what we call a slurve

Agreed and it should be referred to as such

Boy, don't you love Acuna stealing in ST

I don’t know who is dumber, him for feeling the need to steal a base in ST, or the coaching staff for letting him do it.

And then getting in a run down

I’m glad AA gave Matzek some compensation for wrecking his arm in the 2021 playoff run. Braves should make sure he’s always employed by the team. He’s the guy I’ll remember most from that postseason run.

 

[CyYoung31]

Isn’t Matzek still building up arm strength? He just had TJS like 9 months ago.
