GDT 5/20 Same Lineup. Better pitcher.

[Hulavol]

If the Braves can tack on a few more runs I wouldn’t mind seeing Lopez pulled after 6. I know he has a good pitch count but these are the games that are perfect for controlling innings for the starters.

Normally, I’d agree with you - but with another game later today, I’d like to save our pen as much as possible just in case we get in some crazy 14 inning marathon or something

yeah, I wouldn't do it with a 4 run lead either.. was hoping to take on 2-3 more then let one of the scrubs pitch the rest of the way.

[Hulavol]

And now Arcia got all three outs in that inning….

[bravesfanMatt]

although, putting a guy on an inning limit seems weird.. one pitcher could throw 100 pitches in 4 innings while his next start throws 100 pitches in 9 innings.. so are those 5 extra innings any more taxing really.

[Hulavol]

Minty in very low leverage situation - bottom of the order with 4 run lead… make that a three run lead..

[bravesfanMatt]

6 more outs to cover.. wonder if they go 1 reliever per inning like Twit likes.. or if they try and let Minter go 8th and Riggy 9th... leaving JJ an prince albert for game 2.

A pitcher can throw 15 innings if he is throwing 10 pitches an inning. The ligament in the arm is fine as long as it gets some rest. Its the high pitch count innings that really damage the ligaments.

Two terrible calls to start off that PA to Kim.

[jpx7]

Back-to-back innings with terrible two-strike pitches thrown.

[Hulavol]

And now we losing.

[UNCBlue012]

This team just doesn't use his head anymore. Horrific situation hitting and pitching for no reason

[jsebe10]

Back-to-back innings with terrible two-strike pitches thrown.

Just awful location. Absolutely awful location.

[KOdawg1]

Damn we suck

[bravesfanMatt]

This is JJ's 2nd game since May 11th.. wonder if rust is a factor here.

[msstate7]

This team legit sucks

Wow

[bravesfanMatt]

not to mention a ton of missed scoring opportunities.

I really hope when everyone is back, Ozzie is out of the 2 hole.. that really needs to be Olson.. even if he isn't right still.

[VirginiaBrave]

From the best record in baseball to this in two and a half weeks...wow.

[jsebe10]

Olson habitually swings at ball 4

[msstate7]

Another loss... down 5.5 games
