    It's a good thing this team doesn't give up on actual games as easily as half the posters on here give up on them in these threads.

    I was at the game and went ballistic during this atbat.It was 2-1 when he swung and missed and the ump called strike three.Its one instance where Acuna’s youth and lack of English cost him and us.
    You could tell he knew it was only strike 2 but he was unsure of himself and didn’t know how to speak up to the ump.
    The ump lost track of the count and screwed us.
    The card fans sitting behind the Braves dugout around me where laughing like crazy and couldn’t believe he rung him up on strike 2.
    What really made me go over the edge was the fact that Snit or the other coaches didn’t notice it either until me and a few other Braves fans starting screaming at the ump.
    Couldn’t believe in the age of replay that something like that can still happen.
    Glad we fought back and got the W.

    this was nowhere near as condescending as I thought you’d be. Come on Enscheff, you’ve gotta step it up.

    Foltys starts have been a big deal i think. The team knows if he is back to last years form then we are the front runner for the division and now with swarzak looking like a decent low leverage option the team is in a much better position than what it was two weeks ago.

    LOL. he was really good last year after dominating the minors. a guy like that having a start like he did yesterday is far from unusual or weird. do you think pitchers pitch to their season ERA every start?

    I thought watching the game that his stuff was very good.

    Riley, Donaldson and Acuna are having some issues with premium velocity IMO.

    The slider didn't look super impressive from the TV but the swings showed you it was very effective.

    I still love the way Dansby his hitting. He hit some balls really hard. As usual had bad luck. He seems to really be driving things on the inner half and has figured out how to lay off or hit to right field on the outer half.

    Our defense looked Phillies-esque the last two games. This week we have two off days and no travel. In the future we have to get some more days off for guys and clean this stuff up. No way Neck, Dansby and Albies shouldn't be sitting 1/10 days for Comargo. Comargo should also get a day in LF or 3B when Donaldson is out (depending on where they want to put Riley).

    Reading this board implode when the Braves lose and orgasm everytime they win is almost as entertaining as watching the actual games.

    I have to explain why JD was just fine early in the season. Why Fried wasn’t really the best pitcher in the game. Why Acuna was going to hit. Why Swanson wasn’t suddenly an MVP. Why the Braves didn’t need to spend $100M on the BP. Why Inciarte was probably injured most of this season.

    I don’t want to call them dumb, but they sure can’t use their brains very well.
