  1. Burn up Barnes to hold the 9th ?
  2. Otto gets out of his own trouble as he reaches the dreaded 20 pitch total. Got to have two runs now to win this
  3. Easy hit if correctly executed. Watching plenty of games in the AL where the ability to control the bat and hands enough to "catch" the ball coming and , redirect it along the baseline and run like hell is not that easy without a lot of reps. Who currently goes to the cage for a 100 bunting reps?
  4. I agree that the defensive positioning with an infielder either right up the middle or playing shortfield in RF or LF has taken away many traditional hard ground ball or line drive singles. Aside from hitters getting paid for the long ball, more than singles, why not upswing for the longfly than beat a shift that will rob you of previously typical hits ? Coupled with strikeout ' accumulations not seeming to matter much, no wonder they are swinging big uppercuts.
  5. Piling up the pitches, watch out if he gets over 20
  6. Only thing tougher than pitching with 2 outs, is for that last guy to have 2 strikes on him.
  7. What game is the umpire attending, sound asleep ?
  8. Does Cora have to use Barnes again ? I'll go with Matt being the best choice to lock it down but no one else to split the work up ?
  9. Should be a good and necessary win to keep rolling, but Erod's ineffectiveness and Whitlock's wildness takes a BP rest game and burns more calories from our pitchers. That will catch up to you in August/September.
  10. Would this team gain or lose by offering Erod at the deadline ? Would you ever worry about facing him in the playoffs ? What could he bring , a better catcher, lol ?
  11. Damn, only a 3 run lead, very iffy . May as well start the Barnes is a bum/hero converstaion
  12. Hernandez cannot hit a ball to the OF.
  13. f***ing piss poor professional Marwin. Took a while but that was the plan. make Vaz run a little
  14. Given Plawecki's long rest, why wouldn't you run for Vazquez here ?
  15. A game that should have been a laugher turns into a struggle when 3 or 4 guys cannot do what they are paid to do.
  16. Cora strips Erod of a shot to win. Unless Erod is really still weakened , his Daddy will spank him.
  17. Erod's nibbling is legendary . This 5th inning should be telling. He was a nibbler before he had COVID and heart infection. It shouldn't be alack of power pitching. More like a lack of brains and guts
  18. Ok, I would let Rodriguez start the 5th but the first hit or walk and he will be walking down the tunnel. 2 extra runs, what more can he ask for ?
  19. Xander is this team's MVP so far. Great hitting at the right time to turn this show around
  20. Erod has somehow through his own inability to throw a strike to blow his shot at a win. Chances are he won't finish the 5th. The bases loaded Vazquez K and Dalbec flyout was the place to crush the Braves.
  21. Nice pitch for the K right there, but now he has 2 outs , can Erod close this out ?
  22. Dalbec choking up on the bat an inch or so? Must be for better control until you see him swing at the first pitch in the dirt
  23. Vaz can appear clueless at times, like now, but overall gives you his money's worth on offense and defense
  24. Erod's to win tonight , big lead needs to get all 5+ innings in the book. If he gets sloppy, which he has done occasionally, his Daddy will pull him short of the win
