It's actually 94 pitches average in 5.85 innings, to be precise. You cut a mean edge... Those are numbers one wants to go into negotiations with? Along with chronic forearm stiffness? A nice history of blisters? And what most, if not all GM's look at... an innings eater? That gets you $142 to $160m... Knock yourself out. I don't care. I'm not pounding the drum for signing him. I just try and be accurate and you tend to stretch things a bit to be as negative as possible. |

Not trying to make any point. I was trying to find sprint speeds and this was all I could find. I agree, a stat that lists home to 1st or something like that would be better. Braves Home to first speeds..scroll down: Harris the fastest, Ozuna the slowest.
Thanks for posting that: At age 32 Rosario is right behind Harris who is almost 10 years younger. And look at Merrifield at age 35 and who bats right so his stat is going to be a little slower.. From another site/article: www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/TN/Understanding-The-Home-To-First-Time-and-Straight-Line-Speed-vs-Baseball-Speed-4038952176?r=%2Fnews%2FTN%2F%3Fnews_pg%3D32%26fromdate%3D2014-01%26todate%3D2018-05#:~:text=The%20average%20home%20to%20first,to%20first%20time%204.2%2Dseconds. "Again, for the purpose of this article, we’ll use the average major league home to first base time. The average home to first time for a major league right-handed hitter is around 4.3-seconds. For left-handed hitters, who begin in the box closer to the first base bag, you can deduct a tenth of a second making the average left-handed home to first time 4.2-seconds." And from the same article: "I see it all the time when scouting games. A player hits a hard ground ball to shortstop and pulls up 10 feet from the bag when he realizes he is out. If you have a stopwatch at home, grab it and see how fast two-tenths of a second is. It doesn’t take much at all to slow your home to first time down significantly. A scout/college coach may have only one opportunity to get a true home to first time on you during a game. Get in the habit of running hard through the bag. Ingrain it in your game, and you’ll never have to worry about showing your best." |

Wheeler makes $42/year... Fried will get no where near that. This comment wasn't about money. This is about innings pitched. If that is important how did Wheeler get $42M for pitching 1 out more/game? Fried will get what he gets but I doubt 1 out less pitched/game will make much difference. In the post season... Wheeler 4-3. 2.42era Fried 2-4. 4.57era Is it really all about one out? |

The Braves indeed traded Yuli Gurriel to the Royals, a source confirms. Kansas City is sending Atlanta some cash.

But at his age he should be faster. With that extra weight where is he going to be in a couple years. |

lol, this is what happens when I stop paying much attention, I completely forgot we had Gurriel.

You cut a mean edge... Those are numbers one wants to go into negotiations with? Along with chronic forearm stiffness? A nice history of blisters? And what most, if not all GM's look at... an innings eater? That gets you $142 to $160m... Knock yourself out. I don't care. I'm not pounding the drum for signing him. I just try and be accurate and you tend to stretch things a bit to be as negative as possible. Here's something factual. And I don;t care to sign Fried for what he will command, but this still a fact:
Number of World Series championship clinching wins with 6 innings of shutout ball against a juggernaut offense:
Fried: 1 entire Faillies pitching staff: 0

In another brilliant move, the Braves used the roster expansion today to add RHP John Brebbia to the roster:
John Brebbja who was 0-6 with a 6.29 ERA for possibly the worst team in the history of MLB.
"He's got experience and that's what you want at this time of the year"

It's actually 94 pitches average in 5.85 innings, to be precise. 6 pitches and .85 of an inning...for the sake of accuracy... Got it. What's actually more important is what you saw last nite what a true ace does when needed. That's why Fried will never get $42m/year... or even close to that. |

I am not beating a drum to sign Fried. Unlike you who seems to want to continually beat something when talking about Philly players. |

Oh and just for the record when you are talking about 3/4 of an inning making the difference between the innings leader and the guy in 15th spot, yeah it does make a difference.
Oh and just in case you were not aware.. The Braves scored zero Ron yesterday so it's a statistical impossibility for them to win a game under those circumstances. Your boy Wheeler got to face a team missing half it's starters, but keep on touching yourself every time you hear the name Zack.
