Honestly considering how lost Ender is against left handers at the moment, the Braves only have 6 bats for this series.

Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Wish wisler had thrown more pitches. Snit still has his RH specialist for tomorrow

That's ok. There were better options even from the B and C teams. Moylan. Leaving Biddle in.

Kimbrel completely blowing acuna away has me wondering... has he struggled with + fastballs this season? That would be very concerning if so

Acuna has struggled after his first blistering hot week in MLB. He was extremely pull happy until very recently when he seems to be making an attempt at changing. How many foul balls has he hit to the pull side? ALOT. In spring training and the minors he was driving the ball to all fields.
Meanwhile Gleybor Torres hit his 9th homer in 28 games today.
Can't believe the Cubs traded him for 2 months of a reliever
Them rings, though.

I meant rings for the whole team, not multiple ‘ships.

I uh, guess this qualifies as an answer

That...certainly is an explanation. No Snit, that was your fourth best option.
Regardless even if the Braves had kept it at one that would've just exposed a real issue. Ender's problems against lefties nonetheless, the Braves have two batters that are struggling very badly right now. Swanson has completely caved strikeout wise and some of it may be injury, but he's at 40.4% since April 26th. That is absolutely horrifying injury or not. Acuna was going to strike out, but his numbers in that book are getting horrifying too.
If neither are playing to even an average level this offense is going to be bad. Can rearrange the chairs but they gotta hit. Regardless.

When albies and acuna struggle we aren't going to win. It's as easy as that
We had 7 hits and 4 BBs last night but only 2 runs. We're struggling to score but not really struggling to hit. Our luck has gotta change soon.

I don't see where 1-4, walk, zero Ks suddenly constitutes as "struggling".
Albies is one of the few that has looked fine on the road trip. Not every game is going to be like game two vs Philly for him.

Because this board overreacts to every stretch of 25 PAs all the time.
We've had plenty of guys on this week, just havent gotten the big hits.
Had plenty of people on base in Philly, just couldnt get the big clutch hits. Baseball is a cruel, frustrating game.
only Muk has been providing the clutchness and veteran leadership
