Braves at White Sox chat and discussion: Grant Holmes vs Brandon Eisert

The Atlanta Braves will be facing the White Sox who will be using Brandon Eisert who is supposed to be followed by former Atlanta Braves pitcher Erick Fedde. Don’t remember Fedde? He would probably like it to stay that way. Those 23.1 innings were some of the worst of his career when he posted a 8.10 ERA. Eisert has been great for the White Sox in a small sample of 14.0 innings this season with a 3.21 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 1,214 WHIP and fifteen strikeouts to five walks.

The Braves come to Chicago after a 5-1 homestand where they swept the Pirates and went 2-1 against the reigning AL champ Blue Jays. Grant Holmes has been streaky at best this season, but has largely gotten the job done and looks to quiet a surprisingly good White Sox offense that is fourth in HRs and seventh in runs per game.
