GDT 7/7/21: Braves @ Pirates - No Smylys for this lineup

The sad part is that on paper this team isn't much different than our last few... this one just seems to be underperforming. The energy just isn't there after the Dodgers came back last year in the NLCS.

This team is much worse on paper.

No Ozuna/Donaldson
No TDA
No MLB quality Inciarte
We’re replacing those guys with AAAA fodder.
No Soroka
Only 1-2 good RHP in the bullpen
Much less bullpen depth overall
A non-existent bench

dont forget that Snit is being exposed without the DH

[msstate7]

Heredia is about to go on a 2 for 50 type stretch

[msstate7]

3rd time thru, so you can forget any offense

[thewupk]

Aside from the missing DH from last year, 2 scrub bats in the OF, a fifth generation catcher now on board and two cast off starter in the rotation. Did I happen to mention the injuries? How about caving to your best option for RBI and his desire to bat lead off?

That's far down the list of problems with this team....like last

Smyly has somehow survived a 2.4 WHIP and has managed to keep us in the game in the process. I have no words.

The Pirates are, indeed, a bad team as well.

[bravesnumberone]

How dare Lucroy bunt in that situation and how dare Almonte put the ball in play.

The Pirates are in our bullpen. They have us right where they want us

[50PoundHead]

Trivia question from the booth: Who did the Braves receive for Chasen Shreve when they traded him to the Yankees? Bonus points for the name of the player the Braves sent along with Shreve. No internet cheating!

I mean't going into the season.

My point was that we got lucky to be as good as we were the last couple years. This year the luck ran out.

ManBan?

[50PoundHead]

ManBan?

Correct, but do you have an answer for the bonus? Hint: Juan Uribe.

[Buzzworm]

What happened to Ozzie?
Just saw on gamecast he was pinch hit for?

[50PoundHead]

White Sox DFAed Adam Eaton. Any interest on our part or are we fine with our current set of guys?

Neck tightness

[Buzzworm]

Neck tightness

Damn.
Better get Neck on the phone on how to strengthen it

[PawPawMaxwell]

How damn stupid can one be. Where in the hell was Adrianza going to go?
