Good to see Acuna stop trying. Ugh!!!

Using Winkler doesn't burn him for tomorrow.

it does for me, rather not use him three straight games. He is more likely to be sharp if rested after two straight and then you have him for game four.

[Heyward]

winkler would be pitching in his third straight tomorrow in that case.

Winkler's pitched the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th and tonight this month, not sure where you're seeing hes gone 3 in a row.

He hasn't gone three straight, he only pitched once vs the Brewers.

Everyone but Sobotka figures to be ok for Tuesday.

Winkler didn't pitch yesterday.

RA got hosed on that strike call.

Ump is ready to go home. It’s been a long game

Winkler didn't pitch Sunday too. This is his first since Saturday.

Edit: Given that Newcomb sucked, it might have seemed like he did, but he didn't. It was Jackson for 2, Venters, Brach, Minter.

Right now we're looking at 99.5% Win Expectancy. I hope Emma and the elephant are at least warmed up.

I thought the same thing. Oh well, terrific game for him.

[Braves1976]

Allard is the least reliable pitcher in the pen and he's the designated emergency long relief man and potentially even a contingency starter for Sanchez tomorrow.

Everyone in the pen but Sobotka figures to be available tomorrow.

I already know your view from game one, it's not the best plan though as enscheff noted: http://www.chopcountry.com/forums/sh...884#post527884.

After watching these commercials with Chip Caray in them I'm fully convinced he actually is on cocaine.

[Garmel]

Would it be better for Dansby if he widened his batting stance?

Yep

Winkler didn't pitch Sunday either. This is his first since Saturday.

I thought someone said he pitched sunday but you're right I double checked. In that case I agree with having him available tomorrow. I still didn't like not using Allard today though as I don't want him in a close game tomorrow.

I actually think widening his stance and starting with his hands back higher would do wonders for him. He doesn't generate a ton of bat speed, and he struggles to make contact because he can't generate that speed.

3 slider strikes equal The Dietrich

[Braves1976]

Winkler didn't pitch yesterday.

yea, i was mistaken on that as i thought i read that he had.

[UNCBlue012]

Great win! This has been a great day.
