GDT 8/8/19: Braves at Marlins - Big D Takes the Mound

and what's up with rico's mysterious absence

I think the obvious answer is to bench Albies and pull David Eckstein out of retirement to play in his stead, so we'll finally have some clutchness in there.

This loss is on me. I jinxed us by saying we are going to score a lot against this guy. My bad.

You know it's bad when the nervous Nellies and negative Nancies go silent

This was the last straw... I can live with losing seasons, but not getting drilled by the marlins... I'm researching to decide my new favorite team

ETA... and by research, I mean ini mini miny moe

Do you need to clear some space in order to receive personal messages?

Oh God, Chip has replaced Jerome using a Mission Impossible mask, and is making godawful "jokes" in his name.

Just did

3.1 innings for Walker. We might bring up someone fresh for tomorrow.

Time to get Blevins that W.

I don't know what was more embarrassing, getting shelled by the Marlins awful offense or getting dominated by a scrub pitcher.

Tough night tonight. Go get em tomorrow

You would think I shouldn’t find the wrist-splitting over one ****ing game to be the least bit surprising, but somehow I do.

Heavy on the dramatics, eh?

I threw myself off a two story building after the game last night. I only snapped both my femurs.

I’ll try harder if we lose again tonight.

I was actually impressed that, knowing the whole team would stink, you correctly didn't designate a yuge player.

What sucks is Swanson had a shot at 20/20 also before he got hurt.

---

I was told due to his second half last year we couldn’t get hopeful about Ozzie’s HR potential. HR/FB and all that.

It might be if David O'Brien was a particularly decent beat writer. The Braves beat sucks.
