GDT -- Mon 5/21 vs Phiiiies

[CyYoung31]

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but we only face the Phillies two more times, correct? And we won’t see them again until the end of the season?

Yes, that’s correct. We, in fact, won’t see them again until the last two weeks of the season. If you’re counting, that’s 3+ months without playing a game against a team that’s a division rival.

You always have the feeling of disaster with Folty unless he's REALLY on. I don't blame y'all for being tired of that train. And honestly, it'll likely stop for good again sometime this year. Because you can't keep up the magician act over a full season.

I think the braves see this and will make any and all attempt to capitalize in his current value

[USMA76]

Which is exactly what? Seriously, not sure just what we could get of long term value for him.

MarkakVPis.

Kurt didn't see a FB in that horrible ab..

maybe make him throw you a strike first before swinging at balls in dirt..

[bravesfanMatt]

Nick up to 60 after 3ip.. like to keep the pitch count climbing. Get Dopler using the pen early..

[GeorgiaGirl]

None of Folty's pitches are out pitches, even if they're well located. It's pretty amazing.

Kurt very clearly having trouble picking up the spin on Pivetta's slider.

I'd include him and another member of our pitching depth for archer. I'm still a believer in him.

You say this, but even his xfip is damn solid this year; he’s lucky to have a sub-3.00 era, but not lucky to be sub-4.00 above-average.

[thethe]

That was absurd

[wowbobwow]

man, Odubel is a good looking hitter - that was impressive

[USMA76]

Great piece of hitting by Herrera there. Good ball player even if he does come off as a bit of a punk, sometimes.

[thethe]

Nice play bae

[GeorgiaGirl]

I'd like to throw at Odubel if the Braves get ahead.

I still stand by my command argument but I'm encouraged by the lack of hard hit ball lately. That's a positive development.

[wowbobwow]

I'm kinda wanting to see Ender at the top of the lineup again. Can't help but wonder about this:

1. Inciarte
2. Albies
3. Acuña
4. Freeman
5. Markakis
6. Suzuki/Flowers
7. Camargo
8. Swanson

[Ozzie Swanson]

Sliding head first into first is dumb.

[USMA76]

Sliding head first into first is dumb.

Agreed.

[bravesfanMatt]

ugh.. 9 pitches..

We need to get to this guy the 3rd time through..
