@mlbbowman @UnderdogMLB Fans? You buried this kid last year.

Didier Fuentes this spring: 27 hitters faced 26 hitters retired 17 K 0 H 0 BB 1 HBP

@indycolts87 @UnderdogMLB Why? Because I trolled sensitive fans last year?

@mlbbowman @UnderdogMLB You doing ok? I know you hate to see this kid succeed.

@indycolts87 @UnderdogMLB I tweeted the same info yesterday. There’s also a story on the site

@UnderdogMLB Someone check on @mlbbowman

The @Braves had six picks in the top five rounds last year, and they used five of them to take position players. Jonathan Mayo on the shift in Atlanta's system: atmlb.com/4snDpyz

Drake Baldwin’s MLB-best hard-hit rate should lessen any concerns about the reigning NL Rookie of the Year enduring a sophomore slump mlb.com/news/drake-bal…

Martin Perez auditioned one last time today. His future and the look of the Braves’ Opening Day roster will be determined by decisions that must be made by Saturday mlb.com/news/martin-pe…

Fuentes’ stuff is similar to what Strider had when he entered 2022 with basically two pitches. So, Fuentes can get outs. Not as confident in Perez’s ability to do so. Yeah, they need to preserve depth. Perez could ask for his release if not guaranteed a roster spot by Saturday. Tough decision. Heart says Fuentes. But might be best to at least test Perez for a couple weeks

This is correct. My bad. There are no longer retention bonuses. There are just three opt-out dates now with Saturday being the first. So, decisions regarding Martin Perez, Dominic Smith and Kyle Farmer will come Saturday.

@mxhel_ Are you saying you don’t care because it’s Spring Training? I get that he’s not facing big leaguers at the end of these games. But that stuff is real.

@mlbbowman and how does that make you feel

Fuentes' three Grapefruit League appearances: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 17 Ks. This has rivaled the absurdity of Strider's dominant 2024 Spring Training.

Didier Fuentes had eight strikeouts over four scoreless against the Phillies today. He got a whiff with seven of 14 swings against his four-seamer and with five of seven swings against his slider.

@Steven_Wright_ Awesome baby

Dick Vitale and Hal McCoy exchanged pleasantries as he made his way in.

Grant Holmes discussed being compared to Kenny Powers and how by chance he developed his great slider about a week after the Braves gave him a chance to extend his career @AdobeOrg&affiliateId=mlbapp-ios_webview_news-index&rsid=mlbios.at.bat.new.implementation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mlb.com/news/grant-hol…
