looks promising. I do worry a bit about moving Fuentes up so quickly. I'd prefer he get a bit more seasoning in the minors first. All about protecting his confidence. I do recall though Glavine losing 18-19 games early in his career and having the confidence to go out there and deal enough to make the HOF.
Both Glavine and Smoltz had issues early on , it's a real testament to their mental toughness that they were able to work through that.
speaking of mental toughness, Spencer Strider is going to need it in spades with his most recent injury. Are the Braves jinxed or what? I wonder if there is something about the way they prepare their pitchers that leads to so many injuries.
Still do not see any streaming service including bravestv but almost all devices offering it as a purchase app. Selected games on Gray media stations.
I think I can fix Strider's injury problems with one word. Steaks.
is he vegan or something akin?
Yeah. At least he used to be, I didn’t verify before the post
Strider is a fitness freak and sometimes that doesn't work out well. He is almost too fit.
Either way I think he might have ruined his career. Guy had electric stuff but I dont think it's coming back.
Years ago Im pretty sure the Braves were looking at him as the next Craig Kimbrell. And he would have excelled in that role. Come in throwing bullets for 15 pitches or so and shut it down.
Instead he insisted he was going to be the next John Smoltz. Only one problem. He aint John Smoltz. His body has not held up to being a starter and throwing 100 pitches.
I dont believe the oblique injury either. Sounds like and injury they would just make up to buy some time until they figure out where this is going. Not trending in the right direction.
