So, what’s everyone think of Chip’s goatee game?

[jsebe10]

Or don't let your future 24 year old ace go a crazy amount of innings and blow his arm out.

Blow out his arm? Dude was dealing with 68 pitches in the 6th...give me a break.

So, what’s everyone think of Chip’s goatee game?

Aside from the coke residue in it..love it. Could be grey...but I’m pretty sure it’s coke residue.

[CyYoung31]

Swanson still can’t hit a ****ing slider.

[drewdat]

Bad and Boujee

[bravesfanforlife88]

Swanson off to the same start as last year

Honestly, he just needs a gold necklace now...

There is just not way on justifying taking Nola out in that spot. People are getting nervous up 5 with a runner in 2nd and 1 out. WTH?

You probably say "goatee" and "game" are mutually exclusive, but Chip says your mom doesn't like the rug burn on her thighs.

I hope not. The name of the game is to win games. And teams will utilize whatever they can to accomplish. Purists who complain about the pace of the game and the amount of strikeouts need to get over themselves. Teams figure out what wins and that's what matters.

I'm not arguing that MLB needs to make rule-changes to "improve" pace-of-play—but they sure as well seem dead-set on identifying it as a problem and bandying about solutions. And, with that prior given, I'm simply arguing that I find limiting the number of non-injury pitching changes per nine innings to be a lot less absurd than some of the other suggestions circulated—such as doing the equivalent of spotting the ball on the 30-yard-line in OT (which I think, for baseball, in laughably inane).

At least he hasn’t K’d? I dunno

And they all add up.

I don’t think it’s a puritanical notion to install any new rules let alone one that disrupts a century’s worth of leaving managerial decisions alone.

Baseball games are long. It would behoove baseball to make games shorter, but that’s just one man’s opinion who finds it harder and harder to catch a game.

Return of the Moylan.

[50PoundHead]

Game 7 making sure everyone in the bullpen gets a shot in today's game.

[nsacpi]

Monsieur Albeez

[thethe]

Altuve with better defense

[Braves1976]

It's too bad Snit's bad managing probably cost us this game as the double, homer and homer could be more exciting tonight otherwise.

[Braves1976]

Good AB by Freeman, but now lefty Markakis is up.

Markakis strikes out.

[UNCBlue012]

Albies is trying to be my favorite player rn
