5/6... Giants game 3 (let's salvage 1)

[Enscheff]

Well, I didn't say Ender wasn't trying. I said he goes through spells at the plate where he's going so badly that it looks that way. I assume that all major league players are "trying." Also, I still see zero evidence I make those type of accusations twice a month.

Yeah I’ve probably lumped you in with others. My bad.

[Enscheff]

Who called Albies pathetic?

I'd bench Ender and Ozzie the next game. You have a pitcher that can't hit the zone and so they swing at trash and get themselves out. Pathetic

Albies went from being an MVP to being benched in the span of a week lol.

The highs and lows around here are comedy gold.

Bench Markakis for Tucker!

Extend Markakis!

Albies is an MVP!

Bench Albies after a bad game!

I'm sure he didn't mean permanently.

[CyYoung31]

I can’t figure out if this team is not trying or pouting. What does everyone else think?

Of course I didn't mean permanently. And I didn't call Ozzie pathetic. I called his AB pathetic. It was.

Ozzie is a dynamic and exciting player with off the charts talent. He's also 20 and has a lot left to learn. Sitting the bench for a day could help drill home just how stupid hacking at the first pitch was there.

This was a really weird series. We got worked by a not-very-good team but also hit complete lasers all over the place while they blooped nearly everything. It’s really hard to be frustrated.

more or less evens out over the course of a season...but in any given series, even a best of seven, luck can be a big factor

Little bit of both, obviously. Acuna has been a bad influence. Braves need to acquire a player that can show them how to love baseball...preferably a player who still owns a Braves jacket from his youth.

pouting...especially Freeman

Acuna has upset Freeman's karma...kind of a reverse Kemp effect

I'd like to turn all of this pouting into poutine.

[thewupk]

Care to guess how he will rate defensively? I'm guessing not so well. He does look better than I thought offensively though. Hopefully he will get better with glove

I doubt he rates good. Looked like limited range on that one down the line.

spell check keeps wanting to do this for me...but when I type poutine it wants to make it routine...imo poutine is a top 10 thing in quebec

[thewupk]

Not his decision

we could move Freddie to third and Bautista to first

[AerchAngel]

This should be posted in EVERY loss.

Nice job Turbo, I like it.

[GeorgiaGirl]

appears my guess was right...Soroka has passed Gohara in their eyes.

[CyYoung31]

we could move Freddie to third and Bautista to first

We could trade Soroka and Riley for Pablo Sandoval.

and Pablo could play first so Freddie could move to third..

[thewupk]

we could move Freddie to third and Bautista to first
