GDT 9/2/21: A Game is Happening vs The Rockies

[NYCBrave]

Please Discuss

[TURBO]

Soler with a bomb

[50PoundHead]

Connor Joe. 1/2 season in the Braves' minor league system after he came over from the Pirates for Sean Rodriguez (remember that horrid half-season?)

[bravesfanMatt]

6 pitches. Really

[NYCBrave]

We are literally facing one of the worst pitchers in the league tonight

[thewupk]

MVP

[TURBO]

Riley with a 2 rbi double

[thewupk]

We are literally facing one of the worst pitchers in the league tonight

And 3 runs in 2+ innings

[UNCBlue012]

We need more than lucky GIDPs though lol

[thewupk]

Bro you got to turn your back not duck into it

[CyYoung31]

“Obviously unintentional...”

So obvious that it didn’t even need to be pointed out.

[CyYoung31]

And now time for your regularly scheduled complete loss of control in the 3rd inning for Touki.

[UNCBlue012]

The hell, Touki?

[thewupk]

That's pathetic

[CyYoung31]

Touki, don’t be an idiot. Take the out.

[CyYoung31]

Lol. That strike was a foot off the plate.

[CyYoung31]

Why is Bally’s camera work so bad?

[UNCBlue012]

That’s so bad. It’s all self-inflicted on easy outs.

[CyYoung31]

This is bull****.

[thewupk]

Looks like this is the game Touki's BABIP starts to normalize

[msstate7]

Slip, slip, slipping away

[UNCBlue012]

We know what happens next lolol

[thewupk]

lmfao. touki sucks ass

[UNCBlue012]

Hahahah

[jsebe10]

That ****ty splitter right down the dick

[Garmel]

We know what happens next lolol

Yep

[thewupk]

Dude has a FIP near 5. Get him out of there

[CyYoung31]

lmfao. touki sucks ass

He really does.

[jsebe10]

This is the Touki we all know.

[UNCBlue012]

He just throws. Like dude, actually try to make a decent pitch.

[jsebe10]

Christ…fckn Newcomb warming up

[CyYoung31]

Christ…fckn Newcomb warming up

It gets better.

[Deester11]

Christ…fckn Newcomb warming up Equal opportunity suck ass will bring this country together....Lmao

[msstate7]

We're gonna blow a 5.5 game lead to the freaking phillies. And when it happens, pay attention to mvp totally disappearing for us during this killer stretch, .212/.235/.303. Only thing more dependable than touki having another total meltdown is FF disappearing against top teams

[jsebe10]

I can’t wait to see Vogt do absolutely nothing beneficial at all for this like he’s been doing since he’s come over in his next AB this inning.

[thewupk]

This is the Touki we all know.

He's been that way all season. A lucky 240 BABIP has saved his ERA until now

[thewupk]

Harper for MVP?

[UNCBlue012]

I just don’t get it. Blackmon was 2-24 going into that at-bat. Of course, Touki’s pitch was down the middle.

[bravesnumberone]

This was to be expected with Touki pitching in this park.

[msstate7]

Harper for MVP?

If they win the division, I don't see why not. He's been great. Ops over 1 now

[jsebe10]

You aren’t wrong…

[Deester11]

This was to be expected with Touki pitching in this park.
I agree. His pitches move enough he doesn't have a clue. Try to throw a curve?Wtf..lol. I'm a Touki fan...but i even knew this would suck

[thewupk]

If they win the division, I don't see why not. He's been great. Ops over 1 now

Yeah. I mean even without making the playoffs. Harper is 1st in the NL in WRC+ at 166. 1st in fWAR at 5.3

He's probably the MVP regardless

[msstate7]

Yeah. I mean even without making the playoffs. Harper is 1st in the NL in WRC+ at 166. 1st in fWAR at 5.3

He's probably the MVP regardless

Well, you know my hard line on this subject haha

[msstate7]

Why isn't pederson starting?

[jsebe10]

How the Fck do you swing through a 91 mph fastball you fckn scrub.

[bravesnumberone]

Newcomb is going to get completely murdered.

[jsebe10]

Newcomb is going to get completely murdered.

Webb is coming in

[thewupk]

Well, you know my hard line on this subject haha

Who gets it then? Padres aren't making the playoffs. Trea Turner did most of his production on a last place team. I guess Fat Muncy is all that there is left.

[msstate7]

Why would you ph heredia here? Seems you'd save him in case we need defense in cf later. Arcia shoulda been here

[msstate7]

Who gets it then? Padres aren't making the playoffs. Trea Turner did most of his production on a last place team. I guess Fat Muncy is all that there is left.

Harper. We ain't gonna win this division.

[UNCBlue012]

Nice at-bat by Heredia.

[UNCBlue012]

Harper. We ain't gonna win this division. lol we’re flawed but the Phillies winning it would just be due to luck. They’re pretty bad

[msstate7]

Muncy might

[thewupk]

lol we’re flawed but the Phillies winning it would just be due to luck. They’re pretty bad

I think you mean average

[msstate7]

Maybe the smartest move would be to walk em full and face FF.

[bravesnumberone]

Webb is coming in

Webb too.

[UNCBlue012]

I think you mean average no, I don’t. They’re not good. Especially with Hoskins out and Eflin injured.

[CyYoung31]

Harper. We ain't gonna win this division.

Lol. Jesus.

[msstate7]

Of note, the last time the dodgers beat us 3 straight, we had a losing record for 4 months.

[thewupk]

no, I don’t. They’re not good. Especially with Hoskins out and Eflin injured.

Well they aren't bad either

[jsebe10]

Of course

[msstate7]

Lol. Jesus.

I would love to be wrong. I say we in 2nd place by the tome we play the nats

[CyYoung31]

I would love to be wrong. I say we in 2nd place by the tome we play the nats

I’ll take that bet.

[msstate7]

I’ll take that bet.

What we betting?

[CyYoung31]

What we betting?

Leave the board.

[msstate7]

Leave the board.

Forever?

[jsebe10]

Leave the board.

Lmao

[TURBO]

Leave the board bets are lame.

[CyYoung31]

Forever?

Until the Braves either clinch the division or are eliminated from playoff contention.

[msstate7]

Let's look at it...

We have 3 games with equal pitching matchups vs a great home team, and we're awful on the road against west teams. Phillies have their best 3 starters vs Marlins without Alcanantra (sp?). If we split with Rockies, we are most likely tied. The Monday game for Phillies is at Milwaukee though.

That last game is what gives me pause

[jsebe10]

What we betting?

Winner gets to watch me destroy Enscheff’s Mom’s throat.

[CyYoung31]

Leave the board bets are lame.

I like stakes. More exciting.

Not to be confused with steaks, like your mom likes.

[msstate7]

I'm gonna keep trashing FF out this cold streak

[CyYoung31]

Be about it or forget about it.

[msstate7]

Brewers scare me. I'm out. I think brewers win WS

[thewupk]

Brewers scare me. I'm out. I think brewers win WS

lol

[TURBO]

Duvy!!

[CyYoung31]

Murder ball.

[thewupk]

god damn that was far

[Deester11]

It's Coors Field you numbnuts! Lol...

[jsebe10]

That was a fckn bomb

[thewupk]

477ft

[CyYoung31]

Brewers scare me. I'm out. I think brewers win WS

You that addicted to engaging in intelligent baseball discourse with me that you can’t risk walking away for 2-3 weeks?

[thewupk]

Duval 2nd in the NL in homers and RBI

[msstate7]

lol

Woodruff, burnes, peralta, hader, and Williams gonna be hell. Obviously the dodgers are great, but I think brewers get em

[msstate7]

You that addicted to engaging in intelligent baseball discourse with me that you can’t risk walking away for 2-3 weeks?

Yes. My wife doesn't let me vent like you guys

[CyYoung31]

The good news is we have the lead. The bad news is that it’s the Jacob Webb show for at least 1 more inning.

[Garmel]

That's a good inning for the Braves but the Rockies got lucky because Swanson and Adrianza absolutely killed the ball.

[CyYoung31]

Yes. My wife doesn't let me vent like you guys

I’ll have a talk with my mom. Maybe she’ll let you off the hook.

[CyYoung31]

Other than that Blackmon GS, all of the Rockies hits have a combined EV of 90 MPH.

[msstate7]

I don't think Blackmon has ever had a game against the braves that wasn't great. Obviously he has, but it does seem he torches us

[msstate7]

Do you try to get another inning out Webb?

[CyYoung31]

I don't think Blackmon has ever had a game against the braves that wasn't great. Obviously he has, but it does seem he torches us

You’re wrong. As we’ve seen already this year, the state of Georgia always keeps the Blackmon down.

[Garmel]

Do you try to get another inning out Webb?

His spot comes up 1st in the 6th. Chavez will be next.

[bravesnumberone]

Do you try to get another inning out Webb?

Quit while ahead. Problem is we don’t have many good relievers.

[CyYoung31]

His spot comes up 1st in the 6th. Chavez will be next.

**** me sideways.

[CyYoung31]

We need more runs.

[Deester11]

You’re wrong. As we’ve seen already this year, the state of Georgia always keeps the Blackmon down.
You jackazz....lol

[CyYoung31]

We’re not going to score anymore runs tonight, are we?

[MadduxFanII]

Holy crap a Rio Ruiz sighting.

[CyYoung31]

*whew*

[CyYoung31]

Holy crap a Rio Ruiz sighting.

He was the centerpiece of the Gattis trade.

[Runnin]

Adam Duvall in CF is not optimal.

[Runnin]

Don't worry boys. Will Smith is rested.

[Deester11]

Adam Duvall in CF is not optimal. After that 'terrific " play...might Snit keep him in center......nah. He wouldn't...

[CyYoung31]

Great inning.

[jsebe10]

Adam Duvall in CF is not optimal.

Dude…Vogt fckn sucks…I think I’d take Corky Miller’s bat over his…maybe even Gerald Laird

[jsebe10]

Great inning.

Ozzie can’t get back fast enough…I’ve seen enough of Adrianza forever.

[Deester11]

Dude…Vogt fckn sucks…I think I’d take Corky Miller’s bat over his…maybe even Gerald Laird
I'm finding you to be very consistent in your suck posts..Lmao. In this case I'm firmly in agreement with you!

[CyYoung31]

Adam Duvall in CF is not optimal.

He’s going to have to stay there because Snit has already used Heredia.

And that’s something I didn’t think about when he came up to hit. Snit used our only true CF to PH with two outs in the 4th inning, and couldn’t keep him in the game because we were down. Why in the hell would he waste Heredia there instead of Arcia or even Pederson knowing how much ground you have to cover in CF in this park.

That could be a big blunder.

[CyYoung31]

I have completely lost the stream on the Bally Sports app. What a piece of ****.

[jsebe10]

I'm finding you to be very consistent in your suck posts..Lmao. In this case I'm firmly in agreement with you!

Haha

[MadduxFanII]

Oh, cool, a one-run lead for Will Smith in Coors Field. Definitely feel good about this.

[bravesfanMatt]

Save percentage coming in. No worries guys.

[bravesnumberone]

Does the walk or the homer come first?

[TURBO]

Here we go

[Runnin]

first the bloop

[TURBO]

Does Smith ever throw his slider in the zone? At least guys chase it sometimes

[TURBO]

Great win

[CyYoung31]

Noice.

[TURBO]

Bullpen did amazing tonight

[msstate7]

Yes, and it usually ends up in the outfield seats lol

[bravesnumberone]

Yuge win after poor start from Touki.

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Thats my A+ Closer!! 😂

[msstate7]

Need 2 more this weekend. 3-4 for the road trip would be acceptable

[CyYoung31]

That’s gonna be tough in this park. I think you have to be content with a split.

[bravesnumberone]

That’s gonna be tough in this park. I think you have to be content with a split.

Not with Ynoa, Anderson and Morton going. Even with how well the Rockies play at home.

[NinersSBChamps]

That’s gonna be tough in this park. I think you have to be content with a split.

Don’t tell him what he needs to do.

[Nerfherders]

I was at the game tonight. Wow, what a game. The bullpen was amazing considering the circumstances and the fact we had to win tonight. And a good Will Smith sighting! Me and my buddy were chewing our nails through the 8th and 9th, knowing how these Rockies games often go with close leads.

[UNCBlue012]

After a tough 2-6 stretch, it's nice to get the monkey off our backs and grab the dub in Colorado last night. I hope that wakes the boys up. Duvey has been fairly lackluster with the Braves but the dude just gets big hit after big hit.

[50PoundHead]

Bullpen did amazing tonight

I went to bed after Duvall made it 6-5 and I fully expected to see the final score as 15-14 or something like that.

[Tapate50]

Soler with a .267/.375/.535 line since coming over.

LAWD.

[thewupk]

Soler with a .267/.375/.535 line since coming over.

LAWD.

Acuna-like production

[NinersSBChamps]

Soler with a .267/.375/.535 line since coming over.

LAWD.

Those are absurd numbers and rival his monster 2019 season.

[50PoundHead]

Those are absurd numbers and rival his monster 2019 season.

He's really building his market with the universal DH likely around the corner. DH is probably what he is best suited to do, but it's not like he can't play the field as well.

[zbhargrove]

He's been surprisingly average in the field

[jpx7]

Acuna-lite production

FIFY

[mfree80]

I am going to be at the game tonight and tomorrow. Any word on Ozzie?

What time do they usually release lineups?

[thewupk]

I am going to be at the game tonight and tomorrow. Any word on Ozzie?

Just released and ozzie is leading off

[CyYoung31]

Joc vs Rosario is basically a toss up at this point, but Snit needs to make sure Joc doesn’t rot away on the bench just because Rosario is “hot”.

[thewupk]

Your mom is a tossup
