    I always find it a little icky when a batter insists that he got hit in order to take the base. Seems like a kind of bitch move.

    Big opportunity here for Grossman to prove his acquisition worthy.

    Eh...oh well. Two hard-hit balls that inning with nothing to show.

    Bro, go look at our record outside of the Fried, Morton, Wright, and Anderson starts.

    Alright - Good sign for Grossman and what we need him for when it counts most.

    We also went with a six man rotation early on which contributed to that. If AA knew that was the plan then not getting a low level candidate was a poor move but if the 5 man was implemented that blow would have been lessened and eventually Strider crushed that spot.

    After seeing opposing teams score 638 runs this season off Morton immediately following getting hit in the foot, I was ecstatic to see TDA take that base.

    I missed Acuņa's. So three freaking hard-hit balls with nothing to show for the inning, four counting Riley single. Joy.

    Regardless of what Odorizzi does today, flipping Smith for an actual MLB SP was brilliant.

    Odorizzi fitting right in with the other former Astro on the staff. Except Charlie prefers hitting guys in the foot ahead with two strikes.

    I got hit on the wrist with 80 once and thought I was going to die. No idea how these guys wear 90+ like that and just walk to first.

    Well this is going to be a 6-1 loss. We hit three screamers for outs, and they get this crap.

    It is just absolutely amazing how much poor batted ball luck the Braves get as the defensive team.
