    Someone needs to let our guys know that you're not supposed to swing at balls and take strikes.

    The problem is, Ottavino's slider looks like a strike for a pretty long time to the batter's eye.
    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.

    Two balls crushed that inning, nothing to show for it.

    Well, this has been a really sucky game. Hopefully we can pick it up in the ninth.

    A four game sweep is really hard to do vs. any team.

    About to be 28-36 outside of the division and I believe 9-18 against the West. Got to get better if we want to be a playoff team.

    Brach is available here while losing but not available last night instead of Luke Jackson in a tie game. Lot of fun

    Not when you get every single break like the Rockies have

    After not being able to remember the last time a Braves pitcher had a ball, they’ve now committed 3 in this series.

    How is this even happening? These are literally lucky hits.

    Probably half to two thirds of their runs this series have been due to bloops or bleeders
