5/24 GDT: Max starts a hot streak

[msstate7]

Acuna rf
Contreras DH
Ozuna lf
TDA c
Olson
Ozzie 2b
Riley 3b
Duvall cf
Swanson ss

Fried on bump

[USMA76]

Maybe we should DH for Duvall and let Fried bat.

[TURBO]

Maybe we should DH for Duvall and let Fried bat.

You joke but at the moment I would more confidence in Max hitting.

[msstate7]

Man, that was nice max

[USMA76]

Man, that was nice max

Indeed.

[msstate7]

This team makes me wanna drink

[thewupk]

This team makes me wanna drink

do it

[msstate7]

The Olson and Riley starts this year are frustrating as hell, but do we really want both our catchers getting more PA than Olson and Riley?

[TURBO]

Segura frustrates me

[thewupk]

The Olson and Riley starts this year are frustrating as hell, but do we really want both our catchers getting more PA than Olson and Riley?

Riley blows right now

[USMA76]

Here we go again? Hope not.

[thewupk]

Braves just suck this year

[CyYoung31]

It’s over.

[USMA76]

Great throw, Adam.

[Hudson2]

Should of been out of this inning if Riley makes that play.

[msstate7]

I can't believe our -0.1 fWAR CF didn't make a play

[jsebe10]

I don’t understand that sequence to JT…why not go hard in with that 96 mph fastball…

[msstate7]

It’s over.

It's not over till the Phillies IBB TDA to load the bases to get to Olson

[msstate7]

Olson
Ozzie
Riley

Is there a more frustrating trio this year?

[CyYoung31]

I can't believe our -0.1 fWAR CF didn't make a play

He’s only down to -0.1 WAR because of his play in CF.

[jsebe10]

It's not over till the Phillies IBB TDA to load the bases to get to Olson

Ozzie about to pop out softly to RF…just “waaaavvvvveeee” at it

[msstate7]

He’s only down to -0.1 WAR because of his play in CF.

He's negative in defense too now, but yeah, pretty solid

[msstate7]

Good job, Ozzie

[CyYoung31]

He stinks, but there’s nothing Olson could’ve done about that.

[CyYoung31]

He's negative in defense too now, but yeah, pretty solid

Why? Because he got crossed up with Acuña on a ball?

[msstate7]

Good job, Riley.

Inning over though

[USMA76]

We're hitting the ball too hard to produce any runs.

[CyYoung31]

Only Acuña should think about running on Realmuto.

[msstate7]

Why? Because he got crossed up with Acuña on a ball?

No idea, ask fangraphs

[CyYoung31]

He's negative in defense too now, but yeah, pretty solid

Also, there’s no way he’s only at -0.1 WAR if he’s grading poorly on D, with how atrocious he’s been on offense.

[msstate7]

Also, there’s no way he’s only at -0.1 WAR if he’s grading poorly on D, with how atrocious he’s been on offense.

[CyYoung31]

Just throw him sliders away.

[USMA76]

I think Riley's out.

[CyYoung31]

He was safe, but they won’t overturn it.

[msstate7]

Not gonna over turn it. They always go against braves on initial call

[msstate7]

Watching this team over and over every night is like getting kicked in the nuts daily and begging for it again

[USMA76]

Trying to get Dansby to bite low and away--standard.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, dansby. Outstanding

[USMA76]

Pro at bat by our shortstop.

[CyYoung31]

I see your Braves outfield defense, and raise you the Phillies outfield defense.

[msstate7]

Acuna!

[msstate7]

Gibson has to be getting tired

[msstate7]

Come on Williams

[USMA76]

Gibson has to be getting tired

He's already in the fourth inning in terms of pitch count.

[msstate7]

Boy, Williams had had some awful AB

[msstate7]

Great inning though

[Garmel]

Boy, Williams had had some awful AB

I'd still have him in there over TD.

[Mad Dog Murph]

That was the most uncomfortable interview I’ve ever seen in my life

[CyYoung31]

Boy, Williams had had some awful AB

Who TF is Williams?

[TURBO]

That was the most uncomfortable interview I’ve ever seen in my life

I had to mute

[Mad Dog Murph]

Who TF is Williams?

Bills Contreras’s

[USMA76]

That was the most uncomfortable interview I’ve ever seen in my life

The term "cringeworthy" comes to mind. I felt bad for both of them.

[CyYoung31]

The ump boned Ozuna.

[msstate7]

Who TF is Williams?

How the hell did I think he had an "S" on his first name the whole time I've know about him? I always thought it was weird, and now I just learned it isn't even right

[msstate7]

Olson is 19 for his last 113. I don't think it's bad luck either

[CyYoung31]

How the hell did I think he had an "S" on his first name the whole time I've know about him? I always thought it was weird, and now I just learned it isn't even right

Braves legend Williams Perez.

[CyYoung31]

Fried is getting hit hard.

[CyYoung31]

Castellanos is destined to homer tonight.

[msstate7]

Braves legend Williams Perez.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Williams_P%C3%A9rez_on_February_26%2C_2016.jpg

I guess so haha

[The Chosen One]

I totally thought that was hit hard enough to get out. Definitely would have been 3 years ago. Maybe evne last year.

[CyYoung31]

Seriously. 4 of the last 5 outs have been destroyed off Fried.

[msstate7]

This is shaping up like a 1-run game in which snit sends max out for the 7th to give up a 2-spot

[USMA76]

I guess so haha

He and Bartolo Colon must have had the same trainer.

[msstate7]

Better score some runs... good thing Olson not up

[Hudson2]

Better score some runs... good thing Olson not up

Your hate for Olson is worst than Virginas love for Freeman

[Mad Dog Murph]

Can we DH for Olson and let pitchers hit?

[USMA76]

Ball four to Ozzie has been a strike all night but I'll take it.

[The Chosen One]

lol we ****in suck.

[CyYoung31]

This team is a complete failure.

[Hudson2]

Wow

[msstate7]

Your hate for Olson is worst than Virginas love for Freeman

Maybe Olson will shut me up. Last 30 games (not tonight) - .171/.285/.324

[msstate7]

Pitcher that doesn't really k guys is carving us up, 6 k in 4 ip

[USMA76]

Another three hit inning with no runs thanks to the strike 'em out/throw 'em out.

[msstate7]

Contreras has been abysmal tonight, Olson-like

[CyYoung31]

Anytime it looks like the Braves have something good going, just assume the worst possible outcome is about to happen.

[msstate7]

This is bad baseball. 8 k vs Gibson in 4.2? Damn

[CyYoung31]

Team is bad.

[msstate7]

No pressure fried, but the braves aren't scoring again till this weekend, so it's up to you

[msstate7]

I thought that ball was struck better

[CyYoung31]

Lol. Every aspect of this team is ****ing garbage. Except for, maybe, the pitching.

[CyYoung31]

We’re a ****ing joke.

[msstate7]

AA took a great team and he wrecked it

[The Chosen One]

This is shaping up like a 1-run game in which snit sends max out for the 7th to give up a 2-spot

Might be an inning too soon.

[CyYoung31]

I don't get the impression that they even give a F

[msstate7]

I don't get the impression that they even give a F

Exhibit A right there

[msstate7]

Should they walk segura?

[msstate7]

This ball is gonna be punished. Hopefully it's right at swanson (only I guy I trust to catch it)

[msstate7]

TDA is killing us

[msstate7]

These PA by the Phillies are really good

[msstate7]

Lol, ball game

[CyYoung31]

I mean, it’s technically not the right call. But, **** it.

[Garmel]

Way to go, Fried.

[CyYoung31]

Wow.

[msstate7]

Great call, snit

[The Chosen One]

Snit: "Maxy can you give me the 7th?"

[The Chosen One]

I can't remember who wore the red long sleeves and not the blue, since Martin Prado.

[msstate7]

Snit: "Maxy can you give me the 7th?"

Wouldn't doubt it at all haha

[msstate7]

An Olson sighting! Hell yeah

[Mad Dog Murph]

Finally.

[The Chosen One]

If Olson gets hot... BIG IF TRUE.

[CyYoung31]

Boo-yah!

[Hudson2]

That ball was crushed

[msstate7]

Come on riley, you do something too

[Hudson2]

Riley looks like he’s starting to come around

[msstate7]

Bunt em over, duvall

[The Chosen One]

Braves with 2 on and no outs.

Let's see how they can creatively blow this.

[msstate7]

No ground ball
No ground ball
No ground ball

[msstate7]

Snit turning duvall loose 3-0 is a good call imo

[CyYoung31]

Why does Duvall have the green light?

[msstate7]

Why does Duvall have the green light?

I thought the same at first, but liked it on 2nd thought. We need him to snap out of it, so maybe they throw a 3-0 cookie

[CrimsonCowboy]

Just stopping by to see comments on the Olson homer. Checking back out

[msstate7]

Just stopping by to see comments on the Olson homer. Checking back out

FF would have 3 tonight haha

[msstate7]

Lotta walks, be patient

[USMA76]

Just stopping by to see comments on the Olson homer. Checking back out

It was great but, admittedly, unexpected. Hope it gets him off the schneid.

[msstate7]

Up to you, Ronald

[USMA76]

Up to you, Ronald

Please no ground ball.

[msstate7]

A walk may be the best play here for Phillies

[CyYoung31]

I thought the same at first, but liked it on 2nd thought. We need him to snap out of it, so maybe they throw a 3-0 cookie

He’s not going snap out of it. He’s done.

[msstate7]

Come on Williams, bill, william, whoever you are. We need 1 more

[CyYoung31]

Wow. A productive out.

[msstate7]

In the dug out, scooby and crew pull off Contreras' mask to reveal TD

[CyYoung31]

It’s been two years since Camargo has had a hit in a baseball game involving the Braves.

[msstate7]

It’s been two years since Camargo has had a hit in a baseball game involving the Braves.

Got 1 last night

[Garmel]

Swanson and Contreras had some awful at bats that inning. Inexcusable.

[msstate7]

Swanson and Contreras had some awful at bats that inning. Inexcusable.

Contreras has been awful all night. I'm fine with using him again tomorrow, but please no to 2-hole

[msstate7]

Why can mchugh never be used in a clean inning?

[CyYoung31]

Will Smith against a bunch of RHH was always a good idea.

[msstate7]

We brought in will to face camargo on his strong side and RHHs

[msstate7]

That was a big k.

[msstate7]

Chip talks up this trouble

[msstate7]

Is mchugh ready for cast?

[CyYoung31]

It’s Castellanos’ time.

[msstate7]

Chip, "will dominates the Phillies"
Chip, "Harper has never hit will"

Msstate7, "shut the F up, chip"

[msstate7]

Big k

[CyYoung31]

Williams Smith!

[CyYoung31]

A game taking over 3 hours to go 6-1/2 innings with so little offense is unacceptable.

[msstate7]

This ump hates ozuna

[msstate7]

Our catchers have had an awful night...
0-8, 5 k
2 PB

[msstate7]

Olson's back. Way to get Ozzie an AB vs a lhp

[CyYoung31]

Olson sucks again.

[msstate7]

Olson sucks again.

I'm assuming it was a shift. He needs to just try to knock the shot out the ball. He sucks at trying to aim the ball to left side

[USMA76]

I've paid off car loans in less time than this game has taken to reach the eighth inning. Sure be nice if we got out of this marathon with a win.

[msstate7]

Do not let camargo reach! Don't wanna see Harper again

[msstate7]

I think we gonna need at least 1 more

[msstate7]

Just a reminder that ozuna hit last inning, so he probably shouldn't be in LF

[CyYoung31]

Just a reminder that ozuna hit last inning, so he probably shouldn't be in LF

Snit is brain dead.

[CyYoung31]

WHY ARE WE RUNNING ON REALMUTO

[zbhargrove]

Ozzie needs to stop running. He sucks this year at stealing

[CyYoung31]

THIS TEAM IS ****ING BRAINDEAD

[msstate7]

WHY ARE WE RUNNING ON REALMUTO

Snit loves to call crap

[msstate7]

Man, this Phillies pen is gonna be a problem for the braves.

[CyYoung31]

Even if we win this game, it’s a ****ing ****ty, lucky win.

[CyYoung31]

This team sucks ass and they’re a bunch of dumbasses to boot.

[CyYoung31]

Send his ass back to Louisville.

[msstate7]

The braves used to feast on the Phillies pen and just play better defense. Now both teams defense sucks and the Phillies pen is really good

[msstate7]

Their ABs are much tougher than the braves

[USMA76]

Can Jansen throw a strike to Bohm?

Edit: Obviously not.

[msstate7]

Lol

[CyYoung31]

The Braves aren’t winning this game.

[USMA76]

Well, that was pretty definitive...damn.

[CyYoung31]

The Braves aren’t winning this game.

****ing told you.

[The Chosen One]

LOLLERSKATES

[Ozzie Swanson]

Stop walking ****ty hitters Jansen.

[msstate7]

Swanson
Acuna (can't hit after 7th inning)
Contreras

Ball game

[Garmel]

Doesn't seem like Jansen's been the same since being overworked last week.

[CyYoung31]

I’m not watching this bull**** anymore. Someone hit me up if the Braves ever become fun to watch again. This **** is ****ing miserable.

[msstate7]

Last year, I'd give us a 50-50 shot at tying this up. This team couldn't tie it up with 4 out innings and 3 more innings

[msstate7]

Acuna, you have to come through here. Contreras won't

[TURBO]

Wish Ronnie was running

[Garmel]

WTF?

[USMA76]

Damn, Ronnie...do you ever learn?

Wake up, cy

Heck yeah!

Well, I think I'm glad it happened like it did. Maybe this will ignite them

Wake up, cy

Don't you ever compare Contreras to TD again. LOL!

[USMA76]

First walkoff this year? Boy, was that a pleasant surprise.

Edited from walkout to walkoff. Dang spell checker.

[The Chosen One]

Franco Garcia is the REAL MVP.

Crazy how he has risen up the ranks in the office.

[Deester11]

Acuna, you have to come through here. Contreras won't You were saying?

[Mad Dog Murph]

Some of you people need serious psychiatric help

[msstate7]

You were saying?

I got hacked

[Hudson2]

A lot of good signs from guys that they may start to get hot

[striker42]

I for one have no problem with Acuna not running that routine fly ball out. I don't want my franchise player coming back from a knee injury busting it on routine plays.

[CyYoung31]

Cool win.

They’re still ****ty.

[Hudson2]

Some of you people need serious psychiatric help

The negativity is unreal here

[CyYoung31]

We do this every year against the Phillies.

[CyYoung31]

Some of you people need serious psychiatric help

It’s not that serious.

[bravesfanforlife88]

The negativity is unreal here

If we still had freeman we wouldn’t have needed to walk it off

[CyYoung31]

There are?

[mfree80]

Swanson

Contreras

Just gonna let this sit here.....

[UNCBlue012]

Did I miss anything?

[msstate7]

Amen, I'm glad someone gets it!

Haha, big win

[msstate7]

Just gonna let this sit here.....

I figured I had some better bump options than that. Thank God the Phillies still play their great D

[The Chosen One]

If we still had freeman we wouldn’t have needed to walk it off

His leadership would never have allowed Jansen to give up that go-ahead 2-run homer to Harper.

[CyYoung31]

Just gonna let this sit here.....

He was right.

[buck75]

Amen, I'm glad someone gets it!

Haha, big win

We all miss Freddie but he gone.

[msstate7]

He was right.

Yep, exactly how I meant it haha

[CyYoung31]

His leadership would never have allowed Jansen to give up that go-ahead 2-run homer to Harper.

Lol. This reminds me of the Tom Brady memes.

I’m sure Freeman would’ve sent inspirational text messages to his bullpen to make sure they didn’t blow it.

[mfree80]

He was right.

That was kinda my point!

[Hudson2]

There are?

Riley 2-4 and Albies 3-3. Riley is a huge key to the middle of the order

[msstate7]

We all miss Freddie but he gone.

I only miss his big bat. Believe me, I'd love for Olson to hit just as well... I wouldn't miss FF in the least then

[USMA76]

Some of you people need serious psychiatric help

Guilty as charged...the joys/heartaches of caring far too much about a bunch of grown men playing a boy's game. At least that's what my wife repeatedly tells me.

Maybe my view is skewed because this game was such a miserable experience until the end. A terrible baseball game.

[msstate7]

Phillies used knebel last night lol

[Hulavol]

This makes me happy.

[Hudson2]

Soroka threw a 30 pitch bullpen today and looked really good. He goes to Florida next week to start live action drills. Getting him back would be huge.

[goldfly]

game went exactly how we drew it up

[thewupk]

Damn, Ronnie...do you ever learn?

what?

[goldfly]

People bitching that he should be sprinting around the bases for they fly ball.

They are upset he ended at 2nd like anyone else would have by jogging during that fly ball they should have caught

[thewupk]

Mets lost a crazy game

[goldfly]

Thst was fun to watch too. Turned that on after the braves game

[Deester11]

I got hacked
Lol....I know...

[Enscheff]

Soroka threw a 30 pitch bullpen today and looked really good. He goes to Florida next week to start live action drills. Getting him back would be huge.

Soroka in any capacity would fill the back end of the rotation better than anyone AA could realistically trade for, and they could baby him through the rest of the season. This would be amazing.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Soroka in any capacity would fill the back end of the rotation better than anyone AA could realistically trade for, and they could baby him through the rest of the season. This would be amazing.

Lots of uncertainty with this team. But if Anderson could steady his season, and we get a passable performance from Soroka, that makes the rotation so much deeper. Then factor in Yates and Matzek returning adding more depth to the pen that badly needs it at this point....

At the deadline, AA really needs to focus on a bat or two, plus an additional pen arm.

I refuse to believe that this team is as bad as we have been playing, but I don't believe that this is really a playoff team as it currently sits. Too much ups and downs from the offense. Mainly downs.

[Hudson2]

Soroka in any capacity would fill the back end of the rotation better than anyone AA could realistically trade for, and they could baby him through the rest of the season. This would be amazing.

Soroka as an opener would be perfect bc it would limit his innings as they would be anyway. And like you said there’s nobody he could get that has the talent Soroka has at the deadline.

I think the bullpen is fine as is. A lot will depend on how Harris does between now and the deadline bc he would more than likely be one of the 2 bats for the OF. Rosario could come back strong after the eye surgery who knows. But I expect AA to target a bat that he can eat the contract on. Any guesses on who would be available?

I wonder if guys like Mullins or Reynolds would be available at a cheaper price if they continue to scuffle. I doubt it, but you never know.

[Hudson2]

Possibly but who knows. Offense is way down league wide.
