Cutter and a four seam fastball

[scuttlebutts]

We better have our bats ready to go today, it's going to take a lot of runs to help out the defense. Can't expect to have a great day hitting like yesterday, but a good day will make us competitive.

[DougJonesChangeUp]

If we hit the baseball a lot and pitch well we should win.

[FVBrewerFan]

Score more runs than the other team. W/L record WHOAA SOLVVD

[hawing]

Of the two extremes, I would say a wacky slugfest (like last night) seems more plausible than a pitchers' duel. But they don't play games on paper.

[MrTPlush]

I see the players we have gotten rid of in the past 1-2 years have started off the year brutally. Yikes

Today's contest is the MLB.TV Free Game of the Day.

[pacopete4]

Jungmann lucky it isn't 2-0 after two batters. Inches foul down the left field line.

[pacopete4]

Jungman really needs to work that curveball down. Such a hanger.

[MrTPlush]

Yah if that isn't placed perfectly it is an easy batting practice type pitch.

[MrTPlush]

Wow Jungmann was gifted there. That was not even close to being a strike. Should have been ball four and bases loaded with one out.

 

Walks him anyway...[sarcasm]looks promising so far.[/sarcasm]

[MrTPlush]

I thought Jungmann threw faster than 90mph.

[markedman5]

Every start makes the first few months of Jungmann's career look more and more like a mirage.

[pacopete4]

Can't wait til Garza's back... should be in blue.

[pacopete4]

Only 2 runs, could've been way worse. I think they should have called up another pitcher instead of another OF.

[markedman5]

Isn't Jungmann kind of young to be pitching like Suppan?

[QuevedosTongue]

Man, Braun is raking right now.

[pacopete4]

Boy is Braun smoking the ball. Maybe he's back to be healthy? Love it! We have one of the best hitters in the game on this team when he's upright.

[QuevedosTongue]

Jungmann was never going to be as good as he was last year, but I didn't expect him to be this bad. It seems like his curveball has no chance of being a strike right now.

[MrTPlush]

Not to mention his fast ball is sitting at 89-91...not going to work.

I am actually pretty impressed. It has been like a month since his issues in spring training. It is early, but at least refreshing to not hear about it every other weak.

Well, yeah, but it's not like he threw gas last year. This is what he is and, if he can't command the curve, he can't get guys out. And as I type this Ricky Nolasco takes one to the warning track.

Not saying he did, but all of his fastballs in the 2nd were 88mph except one at 87mph and one at 90mph. That seems low even for him.
