Hanson To Make Debut

Written by Colin on June 7, 2009 – 9:23 am

When the Braves take the field today at 1:30, Tommy Hanson will take the mound for his first major league start. That’s right, we’ve heard legendary tales of the 6′6″ pitcher’s fastball and curveball, but today we get to see it in person (or on TV).

Hanson is 3-3 at AAA Gwinnett, with a 1.49 ERA, 90 strikeouts, all while holding opponents to an incredible .169 average. His last four starts have just been dazzling – he’s gone 2-0 with a 0.78 ERA, with 33 strikeouts in just over 25 innings.

Opposite Hanson is the Brewers’ Manny Parra, 3-7 with a 6.75 ERA. Hopefully we can provide some offense. Any offense. At all. Let’s give Hanson the run support he deserves.

    rough outing but a lot to like coming out of the start. Gotta start using that offspeed stuff second time though the lineup big red. Otherwise it looks like we have ourselves a winner.

    He gave us a good look at the future and the future is now. Sounds crazy but Hanson pitched great for a guy that gave up 7 runs I liked what I saw. How bout that Chipper!!!
