    That pitch was right down the middle, Ozzie just got under that. Not sure about that.

    That changeup to Albies wasn't a good pitch, but he was probably timed for a fastball instead.

    But anyway, it's pretty obvious that the Braves hitting philosophy isn't taking tons of pitches, it's swing at the first good strike you see. McCann made it fairly obvious, and Acuna's done it a lot (being VERY aggressive in favorable counts).
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Ump isn't giving the edges of the strike zone to either pitcher, it appears.

    Let's see if we can keep Robles from looking like Mike Trout this time.

    Got spoiled by the good game called by Timmons last night.

    Someone said that Winters just hates the Braves. Didn't the Braves beat him on a challenge last night.

    It wasn't middle middle. It was a splitter for a strike though.

    Kinda expected the high PC by Soroka in the 2nd. After 7 pitch 1st, he paced the dugout the whole time the Braves batted in the 1st.

    It was a change right down the middle. Are you watching the game?

    It seems a little early in Riley’s career to peg him as a platoon hitter vs LHP, but in a playoff season it might be the correct move for the Braves. He pretty clearly can’t handle anything moving away from him right now.

    He’s literally been wearing it since the game after he got hit.

    That's akin to last night at the end of the Top 4th, "13 up, 13 down"
