SATURDAY GAME THREAD vs Marlins 5/12/18

Freddie is having the quietest elite season I think a Brave has ever had. His numbers this year are ridiculous. 176 wRC+ is just stupid.

It's quite amazing how he's transformed himself the last few years. He was a line drive base hit guy the first part of his career. Then he joined the flyball revolution which saw his strikeouts increase but his homeruns jumped dramatically. Now he's still hitting the homeres but he's dropped his strikeouts and increased his walks. If he stays healthy it will be his best year yet.

Freeman is on board with this reduce the strikeout movement on the Braves.

strong contact...the new market inefficiency...so obvious teams overlook it

Could have been a long 10-1 game. We've had a bunch of games where we just destroyed the opposition.

Outside of the giants series the braves have been one of the best teams in baseball. Fun times

And the Giants went on a suckfest as soon as they did that to us....what a joke!!

That pixie dust luck was obviously going to run out. We smashed outs and they blooped hits. They are a good team.. but not close to what they played against us.
