Pache gonna rock one

[bravesfanforlife88]

Urias has only thrown 8 innings this post season, but is 2-0. Has a WHIP under 1, 11K's to 1 Walk. Given up 4 hits, and allowed 1 run.

To me, I wonder if he may be on some kind of innings limit/pitch count.

I don't follow the Dodgers closely, but my impression from holding May and Urias in a speculative baseball diversion is that the Dodgers don't tend to pitch either one of them deep into games.

I read somewhere (and of course can't remember where, likely twitter), that Urias would likely be 75-85 pitches. He's really good, but has been injured a ton in the past and so still has the kid gloves on so to speak. He's not a guy that's gonna throw 110 pitches over 8 innings. If we're not into their pen by the 6th I'll be stunned

His high pitch count for the season is 96. But in the playoffs, he had two appearances of 52 and 68 pitches. Not even sure how stretched out he is, since Dodgers were using him as a weapon out of relief. Have no idea what they are going to do if Kershaw is out for this series.

Camargo coming up with an extra base hit tonight

Really wish we’d have moved Ozuna to LF and TDA to DH with Flowers behind the plate. TDA needs some rest.

No way should this ever happen. Ozuna is that bad.

I've been saying no Ozuna for a while.

But in this case I'd agree with Slippy. TDA needs a break so his legs can be fresh for mashing. Flowers is a better hitter than Comargo. I don't trust Comargo in the field given his amount of play recently.

Plus I have Acuna and Pache in the OF with Ozuna. Let Ozuna be responsible for a small area and Pache can back him up. Pache has made things look routine that I think even Ronnie might have had to dive for this year.

I just have no faith in Comargo. I would have brought up Contreras.

Normally I would disagree if there were another masher on the bench like Matt Adams (like a RH version of him). For this reason, I wish we had trade for someone like Todd Frazier at the deadline, but I assume money was a big isssue. The alternate option to this lineup is simply to have Flowers bat DH. I really don't think the difference offensively from Flowers to Camargo is significant enough to risk the terrible defense we will receive from Ozuna.

Nah, this is a good defensive lineup. Let's not screw that up.

[Southcack77]

Someone might disagree or have additional legwork, but I did see someone else post on the twitter that Urias is fastball heavy and that whatever else you can say about Camargo he used to really like fastballs.

Any update on Freeman’s elbow. I see he is playing, but that means very little.

We really need him close to 100%.

VS LHP (30 AB) this season, Camargo is hitting .233/.258/.367 vs .189/.240/.367 vs RHP (90 AB)

So you're telling me he's due!

I think Camargo will surprise many Braves fans with offense tonight. He definitely has a better arm and is more accurate than Riley.

How did his defense look earlier in the season? Just surprising he is considered an option, especially since he wasn't even on the roster at the end of the season.

He finished with a positive bWAR despite that batting line, if that tells you anything.
