OPENING DAY GDT 03/28/19 Braves @ Phillies

[msstate7]

Why in the F would you get fried up? Let Luke finish this and cut his ass

[Runnin]

yee haw

[nsacpi]

Keeping him over Sam freeman should be a fireable offense for AA

didn't make any sense

[bravesfanMatt]

Wonder if the philly fans are worried about over paying for wins. They should have tried to get better value this off season.

[UNCBlue012]

If AA doesn’t sign CK after the game, he needs to be fired. No joke. What a boneheaded dumbass move to keep Jackson

[bravesfanforlife88]

AA did a terrible job this offseason by not addressing the pen.....

Teheran had a solid performance, and the pen has come in and laid an egg....AA should be embarrassed

[bravesfanMatt]

Now we shouldn’t gripe too much. Our pen was good last year and we didn’t have any clue it would be bad again this year with no changes. — said no Braves fan ever.

For the sake of argument... the damage today was done by Franco and Hoskins, who were already there

Go State!

Who was on base

And it really isn’t about philly. But more about everyone wanting the best value always. Sometimes you over pay to get better. Not take a 1 win player because it was good value.

[Pacheaholic]

Just the first of many losses to the Phillies this year for the super cheap Braves. This team needs a new owner, president and GM. We won't get any.

[weso1]

Good decision to go with Luke Jackson there, because we may have had a chance at a come back.

[Julio3000]

A contending team shouldn’t have two 12th-guy trash pieces like Jackson and Carle on the roster.

[VirginiaBrave]

When you put all your eggs in one basket and go cheap everywhere else you get what you pay for.

[Enscheff]

Silver lining: there is now 2019 statcast data on Fried

[weso1]

Fried's fastball does look like it's sinking some. I know Enscheff mentioned he wanted to see him throw a sinker.

He is also throwing what appears to be a cutter/slider/slutter.

I just wish we had more than 10 pitches worth of data to look at after today.

[Enscheff]

Good to see Swanson is still hitting the ball hard up the middle into unlucky outs

[bravesfanMatt]

Poor Dans
