GDT: Padres at Braves 6/15/18

[Heyward]

Not too confident the pen can hold them the rest of the way with Winkler and Viz probably unavailable.

[Heyward]

Dang, just saw that the Nats and Phillies are losing. A win couple with their losses would be great.

Not worried about Philly, they may be under .500 after this month with that schedule.

Nats yes.

Have to take advantage of this series

[bravesfanMatt]

tonight is a night we might have needed Winkler, but we decided to pinch hit a pitcher cruising with a 3 run lead..

[Heyward]

good job Shane.

Biddle for the 7th?

Rather have Winkler give up 2 runs last night than tonight

Padres have won 5 series in a row and took 2/3 in Stl, they arent bad.

[bravesfanMatt]

I think the Faillies are starting to see the real Arrieta.. He could only keep up the magic for so long.

[Braves1976]

Axford blowing lead vs nats fast, three pitches three hits including double

[Braves1976]

6-5 now, but just got a dp that scored a run. two outs

Hindsights 20-20, and it very well may bite us in the ass but i dont think it was an awful decision then.

[Braves1976]

why pinch hit for Carle there?

I am fine debating whether Winkler was the right pitcher to bring in, but y’all who are against pinch hitting for a pitcher- who is at best average going through the order a third time - with a RISP opportunity are crazy. That’s the right move mathematically.

This is where Sam freeman gives up the lead

[Braves1976]

freeman blowing it

[Heyward]

This is where we'll miss Winkler

[UNCBlue012]

LOL. Great start.

Agreed

[bravesfanforlife88]

Freeman sucks...and the gnats are within a run

[msstate7]

Last year, I loved seeing Sam freeman enter the game. This year, I'd rather have my toe nails pulled off with pliers
