Has anyone figred out why TC has to make 3 posts about every game? Is it just a desperate attempt to generate more clicks?

All "written" by the same "author". I'm sure there will be a post to recap the game as well, making 4 "articles" about a single game.
Is this normal, and does it serve a purpose I'm not seeing?
Mike Foltynewicz’s legacy is on the line tonight.
I have to assume a real OFer gets that fly ball. Will check the xwOBA on that batted ball tomorrow.
That was not a good slider from Folty, movement or location...resulted in a K though.
Foltys back
2 Ks and 2 weak fly balls
it's the Tigers
As long as he isn't walking guys and the velocity is back, I'm taking it as progression towards what the Braves need Folty to be.
Yet we're still losing
Yep!! In the dugout, out of game in 5th having given up 3 HRs, a Triple, and 3 singles, 5 ERs, 0 BBs, 8 Ks on 76 pitches, 55 for strikes. The 0 BBs is a good thing.
God when we suck....we really suck....unwatchable
Get off my lawn!
we're paying Donaldson 23 mil to lead this team, or help lead this team. He's leading the team in errors with 7, Ks 60, and 6th of 7 regular position players in RBIs with 22. Even Riley is only 2 RBIs behind Donaldson.
The question is "are we getting our monies worth"?
I'm not advocating anything just asking the question alla "Trade or not to Trade Ender?"
JD is on pace for about 3.5 wins for the cost of $23M and no future commitment. He is a declining elite slugger, and is exactly what the Braves paid to acquire.
His RBI total is mostly a function of batting 2nd for half the season with a terrible OBP batter hitting in front of him. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take for Markikis to bat lead off, but the sooner it happens, the sooner JD, Freeman and Acuna will bat with more runners on base.
I wouldn’t take anything Riley is doing right now seriously, nor would I compare anyone to the insane results he has gotten in his first 50 MLB PAs. We like just saw the best stretch Riley will ever produce in his career.

Seems good
Ronald Acuna Jr. right now:
Want to know how to convince Snit to bat Markakis lead off?
Markakis OPS with bases empty: .893
Markakis OPS with men on base: .687
Markakis OPS with RISP: .642
I imagine some moronic stat like that will do more to convince the dinosaurs Markakis needs to bat lead off than a meaningful stat.
