GDT 6/29/19: Beat the Mutts

[Coredor]

yeah...I root against all the NY teams with a passion

I pretty strongly dislike all of the northeastern teams especially New York and Philadelphia. The wY I was raised it’s hard to imagine Atlanta fans not feeling that way.

[Braves1976]

Ump has been bad both ways, weather didnt help with Julio either though.

It looked like Cano swung though on the pitch before strike 3 to end the inning.

my thoughts exactly, plus i thought Donaldson was safe at third in the first and that might of cost us a bigger inning.

[Snowman]

not picking on your in particular...umps will miss calls but (with very rare exceptions) they do not set out to help one team over another

last night we had two big replay rulings go our way late in the game

There are, OTOH, instances where a particular ump has trouble recognizing what is and isn't a strike from a particular pitcher's stuff, and that guy can get hurt because of it. The extreme example, Tom Gordon's career as a starter was ended because umps consistently called strikes as balls on his curve, no matter how many times replays (of the unofficial variety) showed they'd been in the zone. He was fooling both batter and ump. Then he became a closer and dropped the awesome curve that was never called in his favour, and had a career.

I'll cry about this, double rain delay. Rain in NY, and lost signal due to T-storms at home on Directv.

i'm upset Julion is not going to pitch more innings today

[UNCBlue012]

Hopefully this delay is long enough to knock Julio out lol

[Garmel]

Game will resume at 6:35 EST

While Enscheff like always make fun of actual fans, I think he needs to see a shrink. He is really good in analytics but his attitude is a COMPLETE opposite.

Dude come on, you bring a lot to this board, you do not need to go there.

I know Cy will delete this, just showing everyone I disprove of his conduct.

[Jaw]

I've never understood why, when there are literally decades of Braves highlights that can be shown, we see things during a rain delay like Chip Caray asking Soroka how playing guitar helps him be a better pitcher.

[drewdat]

Put some respect on Andy Griffith's name.

[Braves1976]

Venters just struck out the side for the Nats, pitched 1.2 innings scoreless with no hits. He did hit the first batter but after that nothing. He was topping out at 94.4 mph on his sinker.

[msstate7]

Venters today for nats...
1.2 ip 0 h 0 er 0 bb 3 k

[50PoundHead]

Oh great. Now we get to hear about Venters for the rest of the year. Let's bring back Lemke.

[UNCBlue012]

Great start!!

[Enscheff]

This ump clearly hates Freeman waaaaah!!!

[UNCBlue012]

This ump clearly hates Freeman waaaaah!!!

I feel like this means more than what it says

[USMA76]

Mazza can tell his grandkids that he struck out Freddie Freeman for the first out of his ML debut.

[UNCBlue012]

Julio is coming back? After already being really off? Ew. I hope this isn’t a bad decision.

[msstate7]

I hate Delta commercials. They only fly to show us we aren't that far apart... hell no, making money isn't the reason they do what they do

[Enscheff]

Wow Julio still in
