GDT 6/10/22: Braves vs Pirates - Bringing The Heat

[zbhargrove]

Maybe the Mets will be the team to stop the Angels streak.

The streak was over last night I believe

The streak was over last night I believe

Yesterday I spent the day hiking Blood Mountain and the Freeman Trail (named after our former 1B). German lunch in Helen. Then won a few hundo at the casino across the border past Midnight.

So did not see the scores to any games cept ours.

[TURBO]

That scared me

I'll accept it

Vanover is having a terrible night behind the plate.

Can Andruw or Wash teach him to stop unnecessarily jumping. And just run through the ball.

Yea his whole “if I have to look down it’s not a strike” philosophy won’t work.

This isn’t taking into account the probability of a successful stolen base.

Say Ronald is 90% likely to steal 2nd base

90% x (1.37 - 1.13) = +0.216
10% x (0.35 - 1.13) = -0.078

See what I’m saying?

Nailed it

[thethe]

When Soroka comes back were gonna have a deep rotation. Which is not what we assumed on April 1st.

Fried
Wright
Morton
Anderson
Strider or Soroka.

Then Matzek and Yates return. Bullpen is going to be absolute filth.

What do you mean not what WE expected?

[The Chosen One]

People wanted us to get Greinke. And yes for a while we were trotting out AAAA guys hoping to find magic.

None of this would be possible if Wright wasn't pitching like a big boy finally.

Some options were always going to fail. Some were going to step up and some were going to regress slightly. The bottom line is the braves had multiple OPTIONS with potential where eventually enough would stick.

But again, nobody expected Wright to finally pitch as elite as he's been pitching.

It was always a potential outcome. But I think there was always a strong likelihood Wright was going to develop into a middle rotation starter at least. Process over results early in and Wright always had filthy, and more importantly, voluminous stuff.

Last year that ball is floating in the fountain.

Different game. When the shift is outlawed games will have more buzz to them. Offense benefits from that as pitchers feel they can throw the ball in the zone and not let up a bomb

Lame.

[msstate7]

Yeah Ronnie had that stolen easily... that's some BS blocking

All you gotta do is go feet first tomorrow. He won't block it again

[The Chosen One]

Stephens was clearly hurt or rattled. Should never left him in.

[thewupk]

Let's not blow an easy game

[jsebe10]

Man Milwaukee is struggling…Hell the whole NL central is.
