    Acuna Jr. LF
    Albies 2B
    Freeman 1B

    Nationals lineup

    Robles CF

    Will the Braves manage more than 4 hits today?? Will those throwers who take the mound walk less than 10 hitters(include HBP)??

    There are only 2 MLB teams who have issued more BBs than the Braves. They both reside in Chicago. The Braves(573) have issued close to 100 more BBs than the NL average(489)

    Hurray for Chuckie, he might get an award for all those BBs. His award should be the "You're fired award".

    Acuna needs to really shine today. Soto's star has been far brighter for this series than has Acuna's.

    Braves are 4th in the NL in ERA and FIP. Walks suck but our pitchers are getting the job done.

    Walks are Chuck's signature effect.

    Yup. Fastball is flat and slower. Tells me he is mechanically off. He will start missing up and away more and more.

    Gonna be a long day. Soto will get an AB in 1st.

    A HR and a BBs in 1st so far in 1st. Add a seeing eye single by Soto puts runners on corners ,1 out.Look for Soto to steal 2nd. Nats score 3rd run on FC 3-6 by Zimmerman.

    I watched a lot of Newk games in the minors. I doubt this gets better. I would have wright or wilson ready.

    Hard to play better when your starter gives up a BBs, 3 singles and HR in 1st. Haven't even had an AB yet.

    Newk has really sucked since the almost no hitter. I agree that Folty-Gausman-Julio should be what we go with

    Pitching is part of playing.

    Newk needs to take a seat for the rest of this game. Has already asked for a different rosin bag so he must be having trouble getting a feel on ball.
