OK starting to see how Hanson does it. (How does he get so many strikeouts and stay in games without the heat he used to have?) One pitch is 90 MPH, another is 80, another is 70. Mostly well-located.
I have to admit, the Braves seem to be the only team that don’t appear too intimidated by the knuckleball considering their habit of swinging alot and not taking pitches. And then Prado proves me right by swinging at the first pitch he sees..
Jim Powell reported a tweet from Bowman about the Braves trading Todd Redmond to the Reds for Paul Janish. If this is true, I like it. Janish is a good defensive short stop.
