Freddie loves the two hole

[The Chosen One]

Must be DH again

Braves need to start hitting better. 4 of 8 position starters are hitting under the Mendoza Line with Ozuna right at .200. Freddie, Ozzie, Swanson and Inciarte (Pache) the ones who really need to start getting hits on balls in play. Freddie has 5 xbh in 7 hits

[Enscheff]

Freeman has a laughably low BABIP of .103.

Ozuna has seemed to be coming out of it in the last few games. He has shown a lot better timing on his swings and making good contact.

[salmagundy]

Morton with 1-2-3 1st on 10 pitches, 8 strikes.

I'm expecting some regression from Ozuna and d'Arnaud season-over-season, but this is just small sample size stuff going on right now.

For the announcers and anyone too stupid to understand why they shift on Freeman:

While there's this narrative that Freeman goes the other way often, the fact is the vast majority of his grounders are pulled.

He simply doesn't hit the ball on the ground to the left side often, no matter how often the twits in the booth think he does.

The Marlins are beech slapping the braves

[UNCBlue012]

I am completely in shock by how lifeless the Braves look right now. Just no urgency at all. I hope it changes soon

[CyYoung31]

Can we please stop pitching Rojas inside?

[50PoundHead]

Kind of tiring watching these punch-and-judys knock the ball around on us.

[msstate7]

Big k

[Garmel]

What is the Marlins' BABIP in this series? Geez.

[msstate7]

That felt like a big sequence. Now make em pay for stranding guys

[Enscheff]

Now we get to listen to the dinosaurs telling us how this pitcher “knows how to pitch”.

[bravesfanforlife88]

I don’t know if Charlie is the stopper per se. rather, he is more like the plunger when the toilet backs up

[msstate7]

I'm gonna need some beer if I wanna keep watching

[salmagundy]

Now we get to listen to the dinosaurs telling us how this pitcher “knows how to pitch”.

Chip needs to go. should have been gone 4-5 years ago. He has lost total contact with the game and can't keep things straight in the game being played.
