6/16 GDT: rays game 3

[msstate7]

Murphy ain't tying sh*t...

He's an actual mlb hitter with a great track record.

[msstate7]

Ump changed the game there

[CrimsonCowboy]

Should have walked. Umps……

[msstate7]

Why isn't snit getting tossed

[jsebe10]

There is fckn nithing as helpless than a Lh hitting Ozzie.

[jsebe10]

Get that god damn midget out the top of the fckn lineup man.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Take the series win and take it to the Tigers

[msstate7]

We were robbed of a chance for ozuna to win the game there. You should get 5 ball/strike challenges a game. They would take 5 seconds

[msstate7]

Now win series vs tigers.

[msstate7]

And that Martinez AB shows you have to get wall up to replace him

[Garmel]

[msstate7]

Need to bring up elder for Wednesday on regular rest for tigers and use Lopez with extra day vs Yankees

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nobody should argue that. He still has potential, but more seasoning in the minors is needed.

[VirginiaBrave]

They need to just give that spot to Bryce and live with it. Glav was 3-4 years in before it clicked as was Smoltz and Maddux with the Cubs. These kids they are bringing up with no innings are just automatic losses.

I think sometimes prospects need to get a taste of the majors to understand what might work in AAA isnt so effective in the majors. Now he can keep working on his flaws at AAA. I still think he ends up as a closer. Which isnt a bad thing. Add a tick of velocity to his FB coming out of the pen and it makes that and his splitter/slider more effective out pitches.

I'm sure the Braves still have plans and hopes for him as a starter, but closers are always needed. I certainly can agree with him getting this taste of the majors, absolutely. He knows what he need to improve and if he can do that with some work at Gwinnett, he'll be better prepared for the next time he's called up.

I still think he ends up as a starter, but otherwise I totally agree.

Yeah, because the Braves don’t give them a choice. Start or die.

[CrimsonCowboy]

The biggest things for Waldrep to work on is the same things that almost every young pitcher has to learn. First is the command. He has that good fastball velocity that can go up to 97-98. But, if you don’t command it, it’s not going to be effective. So yeah, get the command worked on. Also, get better the second time through the order. Both starts, he got shelled the second time. Major League hitters will make adjustments against the youngster, so he has to learn to to adjust to those himself. If he can do those two things, he’s got a good chance to make it.

Also, wouldn’t mind seeing another pitch added to his arsenal. Maybe a slider or change up.

Has Bowman always been a piece of ****? Anything to be ‘first’
