Anyone else excited about wisler' debut tonight? I really am. I just don't like that he's facing deGrom. deGrom won't give up much and it'll be even more pressure on wisler. Hopefully we can get a couple early runs

[Really Clark?]

Wish I could watch it but may try and catch the late broadcast. His last start was not great but prior to the that he had been very good.

Saying his last start wasn't great is a huge understatement.

3.2 ip 8 h 7 er 2 bb 0 k

His previous 7 starts though...

41.1 ip 39 h 9 er 6 bb 29 k 1.95 era

*the inning count for 7 starts is low bc rain washed out 1 start after 2.0 ip

Meanwhile, with Gwinnett, Mike Foltynewicz has allowed 7 ER in 3 IP. Just gave up grand slam in 3rd, his second HR allowed tonight.

Wisler's first start...
8.0 ip 6 h 1 er 0 bb 2 k

Fastball around 93. Very impressive debut. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Boomtown, population Jace Peterson.

And Wisler was sitting 94-95 in the first. Thanks, Padres!

Smoot... Are you becoming a believer in my boy, jace?

Haha I've been a believer for a while now. I always liked him, just saw him more as an Infante-type super utility guy. I didn't know his defense was going to be this good, and he keeps hitting. I'd be fine trading Peraza now.

What I'd love to happen is peraza pick up cf, lf, 2b, and maybe backup ss. That would allow him to play very regular and keep him.

I think he has more value to us as a trade piece, especially with Albies in the system.

I'll put it this way - if all we got in return for him in a trade was a good utility guy, I'd be pretty disappointed.

[msstate7]

Wow. Probably our biggest series of the year facing one of the best pitchers in mlb with FF and our rookie pitcher gives us 8 innings of 1 run ball. What a performance!

Good point. LF, 3b, or catcher is what he should be cashed in for

[Really Clark?]

Sounds like as much as we critize Fredi, he made a good descesion to keep Wisler in for the 8th. His numbers look good, did he pitch that well or getting great defense?

Having to watch At Bat live stats, so I couldn't tell you.

@Braves
.@wisler233 went 8.0 innings w/no walks. No pitcher in Atlanta franchise history (since 1966) ever went as long in his debut w/no walks.

He pitched really, really well. Commanded all of his pitches, 10 groundball outs. It was a good decision to leave him in, but it was a no-brainer. He had thrown 75-80 pitches through 7, finished with 88. It would have been dumb to take him out.

He hit 94-95 with his fastball.

Outstanding. Very low pitch count that deep. Especially for his debut. The book has been a good control guy and at 21, impressive night for him.

He was lights out. Almost nothing hit hard. Only needed 88 pitches to get through 8. Could've had the complete game, but I understand going with Grilli in a 1-run game in the 9th.

he has more value than you think as a CF, because then we could carry an extra OF on the bench and let Peraza be the backup SS, keeping us from having to carry some light-stick backup SS like we usually do.

Albies is 3-4 years away. maybe longer. Peraza is ready now. and we can platoon him at CF and 2B. give JP some starts at 3B too.

i'm fine with trading him if it fills a need, but i doubt we get a legit 3B or power hitter for him, so i'd rather keep him.
