GDT 5/14/24: Braves vs Cubs - It's a Short Sale

[Hulavol]

Another series win…..

And I continue to be impressed by the sizes of our crowds - cool night, school night, Tuesday night: big crowd.

[Freshmaker]

I just cannot get over how good Chris Sale is. This is THE Chris Sale.

Same here...he has been incredible. Basically what we were hoping/expecting to get out of Strider

[bravesnumberone]

Great stuff from Sale.

[Hudson2]

AA caught crap from alot of people for getting Sale but once again he shows why he’s the best in the business. I can’t imagine how good we’d be if Strider was healthy.

[Hudson2]

Olson showing signs of snapping out of it is huge.

[thewupk]

Is 0 runs allowed over 2 games good?

[The Chosen One]

Are we back

[Hulavol]

No. Finnish.

And his stuff looks incredible. Sale's Statcast page is pure beauty: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savan...r-pitching-mlb

His slider is already worth 8 runs. lol

I can't even imagine what a healthy playoff rotation of Fried/Strider/Sale/Lopez could do.. Morton just watching those guys get him another ring.

Sadly we won't ever see it.

Addition by subtraction: Snit giving our leadoff hitter a day. Reported as routine.
MH2 to lead off !!!

What a spin. It's never been routine before to give him a day off

I didn't watch yesterday, but didn't someone say he was wearing a knee brace? I don't remember if I have seen one on him this year..

[Enscheff]

I wonder if the Riley injury was the last straw and the FO is going to force Snit to rest his players like it’s the year 2024.

I doubt that - but would be nice - that was something Bobby was so damn good at. You won the series, you got rewarded with Sunday off- go out with your girl on Saturday night and have some fun- but you gotta win the first two games first.

I think Acuna’s knee brace and 0-5 (even though he hit two rockets) have more to do with it- this’ll be two more off days in a row for he and Riley and they should be all set for the weekend series in SD

Crazy thing is Bobby's Sunday Special record was still very good. Because he told Fredi that he could deploy any of his starters to pinch hit at crucial times in the game when he needed. All while giving thr bench guys playing time to stay sharp.

He always has that on under his pants. I’ve seen him the last 2 years with it, he’ll pull it up when he slides or dives.

I don't think it's his knee. I think Snitker is getting pressure to sit him.

His Sunday record was also still very good because, you know, he only needed a run or two behind his hall of fame pitching staff….
