Open thread, 9/2, Braves vs. the depths

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Williams Perez is recalled from Gwinnett. Anyone who refers to Williams as a prospect doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. He wasn’t even considered a prospect when the Braves had no prospects, ranking behind the likes of Kyle Wren.

Perez has a 9.87 ERA in his last six starts, with an WHIP of 2.000. He’s walked more batters than he’s struck out. Comparing him to German Jimenez is an offense to German Jimenez.

Maybe Perez will get lucky like he did in the fist half, when he showed a propensity for pitching into and out of trouble.
