GDT: 4/28/2018 Braves @ Phillies

[Braves1976]

okay one more Viz

[USMA76]

So one of six batters faced by Braves relievers gets a walk. Honestly, it seems even higher than that.

Great win!

I hadn’t even looked around the MLB to see how we fair record-wise with other teams, and we’re sitting pretty.

This team is sooooooooooooooooo close

[Braves1976]

[UNCBlue012]

hopefully they make dumb decisions at the trading deadline

We can only pray they trade the rest of their farm to make one last push.

Rizzo is smart, so I wouldn’t count on it. In my opinion, he’s the best GM in baseball.

The problem is we won't really scare anyone until we fix some glaring holes in our bullpen.

Regarding our walks problem, keep in mind that most of it has been from a few pitchers and one of them in Minter has yet to be hurt by the walks (tonight almost did but Winkler saved his bacon). Freeman has 10 walks along with Minter, tied for worst on the team. Both are good pitchers, one has been overused explaining the crazy high walks and the other in Minter has legit issues with control occasionally but is so dominate that usually he can walk a batter and still no damage. Ramirez also walked 8 batters before hitting the DL and it turned out he had been dealing with a shoulder issue going back to ST (so he said anway). Viz is another walking too many, 9 after tonight, but outside of one game in Colorado has been good and not hurt by that. Moylan has been bad giving up too many hits combined with walks but Snit has misused him a lot too.

strand rate has minimized the damage from the walks...but eventually it will normalize

Hopefully Minter and Freeman can drop their walk numbers, Freeman by not being used too much. Viz hopefully does too. If so then our walk numbers should go down.

If we keep up this pace and we are buyers at the deadline who would you guys choices be?

What would a 1/2 year of mous cost?

Braves just continue to fight. In every game.

This is one of the big things I've seen this season. There has only been a few games so far where the Braves just got their ass handed to them.
