Haha I like Williams, he battles and has a bit of attitude. I just don't expect him to stick long-term. But by all means, I hope he keeps this up and proves me wrong.

I think it will be tough for him to hold off wisler, fried, and maybe Jenkins next year, but I like him a lot. If nothing else, I see him as a nice reliever or trade piece. Who knows we may end up trading Teheran if he doesn't right the ship to open another starting spot

[msstate7]

I'm pretty sure you just caught Mallex on a bad night. People questioned his bat, but he's hit at every level, his K rate isn't anything bad, and he always walks a lot.

So far he's showing himself to be the perfect lead off hitter.

One things for certain... He Can Fly! He popped up a ball to short right and was rounding 2nd when the ball was caught. You'd have to have been there to understand, but it was impressive esp considering it was a certain out.

Yeah, I've heard that outside of Billy Hamilton, there's nobody in all of baseball faster.

The good thing is, he's a great drag hunter and gets quite a lot of hits this way. Obviously he won't get as many in the majors, but it can still be a weapon.

Talking about albies being young at 18 reminded me of andruw (my favorite brave ever) hitting a hr at 19 vs the Yankees. Wonder if albies can be that type of prodigy and make the show before age 20

We'll see, he'll have a chance to advance quickly next year.

But I doubt it. He's a great talent, but he's no Andruw. And he's tiny, just a totally different player.

Peterson with single, double, and triple. Won't develop into a hr hitter, but I can certainly see a lot of doubles in his future

That would be awesome.

[msstate7]

This is a big if, but if Teheran can get the win tomorrow, we have a great shot at getting home over .500 with wood, miller, and folty facing Arizona. Big game tomorrow

[msstate7]

With bumgarner pitching tomorrow, I'd sit ff tomorrow. He's really struggling. Start CJ at 1st. CJ hits lefties well and uribe's swing looked great tonight

[msstate7]

You guys can rip me all you want, but Teheran is done. I'd trade him asap before he absolutely worthless.

[msstate7]

1st time thru Giants' lineup for Teheran...

2 bb 2 hr's (another 1 was just foul and belt hit 1 foul before hitting 1 fair)

His velocity is down.

May be time to panic

Braves may have accidentally included Teheran's velocity in a trade last offseason.

Aaron Smith @A_A_ron_Smith
@DOBrienAJC I'm thinking he has Tommy John in his near future. Hate to say it. But it has all the symptoms.

[KB21]

Teheran's drop in velocity has coincided with the game he tweaked his knee on the mound. He's hurt. This isn't an arm issue. He's lost velocity because he can't drive off his legs right now. It's time to DL him and get an MRI of that knee.

It's not an arm problem. He's not dropping his arm slot to compensate if it is. I could always tell when Smoltz was hurting because he would drop his arm slot to take the pressure off his arm. This is his knee. Julio can deny it all he wants, but that knee is effecting him. He needs to get an MRI to see if there is a meniscus tear, and if their is, get it fixed and sit out for the next 4 weeks. Bring up Manny Banuelos or Matt Wisler.

Julio shouldn't be in charge of this. If we feel his knee is affecting him (I do remember when he tweaked it vs mets), then management needs to step in and order an mri.

[msstate7]

Bumgarner with a no-hitter thru 4. At least Teheran is facing the other team's best pitcher. If we're not gonna win, at least get our worst starter out of the way.

[msstate7]

Teheran seems to be getting control of this game. Lord please let Teheran get this figured out. For us to be the team I want us to be in the future, Teheran needs to at least a solid 3

[msstate7]

Teheran just threw a 92 mph fastball in 5th.

[msstate7]

Way to shut me up, Teheran. I'm still concerned with his velocity, but he certainly turned it up a notch after giving up the 2 hr's. 4 bb and 1 k aren't ideal, but this has certainly been a good start. My apologies, mr Teheran
