Open thread, 8/18, #Braves vs. Cameron Crowes

So what is Matt Wisler’s ceiling? He doesn’t have ace stuff but seems to have a good idea of what he’s doing on the mound.

But are hitters catching up to him? In his first five starts Wisler had a 3.10 ERA and 1.310 WHIP and struck out 6.5/9 IP. In five starts since he has a 6.43 ERA and 1.714 WHIP with just 5.1 K/9 IP.

The Braves go into 2016 with only two starters they can depend on, and one of them is finishing up his worst season. Beyond Julio T and Shelby, you have potential that’s still unproven.
