This has been a brutal watch tonight
When your offense is being run through Travis D., the odds of getting something going are low.
And I’m fully on team, Fried was tipping tonight, I’m too inebriated to fully construct this thought right now, but someone on Twitter has found his tip

Yeah, tough game. Houston’s pitching has been dominant. They have kept Atlanta’s bats off-balance all night.
This is the version of Houston I expected to see (game 1 came as a surprise to me). We can play with these guys but not if we give up 5-6-7 runs a game. This one may not be over yet but it felt like it was over in the 2nd inning.
I’d be very interested to read up on this topic of Fried tipping his pitches. Seems very plausible because even in his good innings, none of the hitters appear to be fooled by anything.

The guy I saw on Twitter commenting about it clarified that it appears to exclusively happen when he's got a runner on base, because of where he resets his grip at his waist being visible to the hitter it seems. He's regripping the ball differently for breaking balls, and seems particularly noticeable for the curve, versus the fastball, the grip doesn't change, so the glove isn't moving. At a minimum, it's signaling to the hitter when they can expect fastball vs offspeed/breaking.
If random dude on Twitter can spot that, it's hard to believe that the Braves organization can't, so hopefully if it's accurate, they can work on it between now and his next start. Perhaps more importantly, someone with hours to burn needs to start examining any of our pitchers who have been tagged up recently (see: Jackson, Luke) just to ensure that there isn't something going on there as well.
