Kyle always seem to struggle in the first inning. Hopefully he starts off clean and rolls for 6-7 innings. 

No struggle today

You would be correct. I can't watch on MLB.TV because they push it my TV provider but I don't have the package for RSNs

I don't get to watch Braves or Reds games on mlb.tv, it sucks so much.

[BearDown1223]

Tough calls against Dansby 

[Tryptamine]

If that's the strike zone today, the hitters have no chance against Fried.

Tumpane is channeling his inner Eric Gregg for Fried today.

getting fired up. I'm blacked out so it will be Pat and Ron for me this weekend. It's usually that way anyway.

Maybe you should think about going to some AA meetings.

[Tryptamine]

This strike zone is huge in every direction 

[Jason Ross]

Woof.  Zone is huge today.

[Old Style]

This zipper discussion must be pleasing Harry Caray to no end wherever he is right now.

old timey Braves zone it sounds like. So far, Pat and Ron have not said anything. 

[Tryptamine]

Jesus, is there anyone not going to hit 25+ bombs on the Braves?

Probably only the pitching staff.

They are a very good team all the way around. And will be for a while with the extensions. 

[Tryptamine]

Fried has them completely baffled so far. Going to be lucky to put up a couple at this rate.

[Derwood]

Yeah, no more batting practice pitchers

[BearDown1223]

What's their bullpen look like?

3rd best fWAR, top-5 K/9, 5th in xFIP.

[Tryptamine]

Yeah, they're not scoring on Fried. Not one of the hitters is looking like they're seeing these pitches at all.

[Derwood]

Two perfect games so far. I'm sure that will last

[CubinNY]

This may be a sub two hour game.

[Derwood]

Second time through the order not going well

[BearDown1223]

Wheels came off fast there.

jesus christ

[David]

Well, that sucked.
