I'm pretty annoyed Flowers isn't catching Teheran. His numbers are awful with AJ. He even said after last game how he feels he pitches much better when Flowers is catching. He needs to be his permanent catcher.

[The Chosen One]

Why are we starting at 5:05? LOL

[UNCBlue012]

Umm... Why isn't flowers in there? That's literally stupid.

Fireworks after concert.

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from Inciarte.

[WaitingFor2017]

Seems the last few years that the Braves have had 5:05 pm start home games on the Sunday before Memorial and Labor Days.

Frenchy batting cleanup. OK with me if he makes a run at Comeback Player of the Year -- again.

[nsacpi]

Snit going with three hot hitters (Beckham, Francoeur, D'Arnaud) even with a righty on the mound for the Marlins. Koehler has very strong conventional platoon splits this season. But for his career, he has slight reverse splits. Season samples tend to be less reliable for splits than numbers covering 3 or 4 years. So I think it is not a bad move to stick with the right-handed hitters who have been swinging a hot bat.

As for catcher, Flowers had caught three straight. And AJ has good numbers against Koehler.

4 in a row is not too much of a burden, IMO, considering how Julion is making flowers right now.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Is ther a way to check how many pitches Julio averages per inning under AJP vs Flowers

[UNCBlue012]

That was a great at-bat by Freeman.

[WaitingFor2017]

Julio having a Shelby Miller 2015-like start today --- throwing so many pitches and having no luck with "out pitches" but also not giving anything big up.

[UNCBlue012]

Julio can't get anything going. I'll blame AJ

[Garmel]

You can see where Julio and AJ have a hard time getting on the same page.

Yep, I'd hate throwing to AJP too.

[UNCBlue012]

Come on Julio. This lineup is so bad 😂😂😂

[UNCBlue012]

He better not be hurt.
