    GDT: 5/06 - Gausman @ Dodgers (#MyAce isn’t even trying to pitch his scheduled turn)

    Edit: Gaus versus the Dodgers tonight... not #MyAce.

    The Braves start a brutal stretch against some of the NL's best starting tonight. 7-7 would be good, anything better would be freaking fantastic.

    I respect sticking with the planned process of making sure the younger pitchers stay fine, but it kind of might end up really sucking pending the results the next two days. If Gausman gets hit hard while the Braves do hit Buehler to the tune of 3-4 (or more runs) and a loss comes off that, then you have Fried throw well (6 innings and 1-2 runs) but the Braves don't get anything off of Ryu...lord that is going to feel awful.
    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.

    Um why are we making GDTs before the lineup is even out. I mean the starting pitcher wasn’t even right.

    The rush to be first on the internet I suppose...and then spend the rest of the day calling the team stupid.

    If I don't see a GDT by the time lineups are posted I make one. Some folks are little more eager.

    I posted it when I got to the office this morning. I like to have my coffee and surf the web. It makes sense, thus why I do it. I likely won't be online when the lineup comes out, especially since this is a late-night game for us on EST.

    Also, I see Enscheff with an immature back-handed comment.

    So in other words, the Braves need to play like they have all season and be a .500 team haha

    Luckily after this tough stretch we get a really easy couple of weeks starting with the Tiger's series. 13 games against the Marlins, the Tigers, and the Pirates. Those games should definitely be winnable for us. If we can manage to go ~12-10 during the next 22 games leading up to that stretch, I think we'll have a chance to take the lead in the division.

    Believe they just saw it as a chance to buy an extra day of rest for everyone since Gausman only threw 20 something pitches on Saturday.

    No word, but Fried is starting Tuesday. Gausman didnt pitch much on Friday so i'll assume it's just to give Fried an extra day of rest.

    The pitching order change was announced last night. The GDT should have reflected that. I too wonder why GDTs are started so early.

    Back to the prior argument-BLUE won't admit it, but he's a superstitious baseball nerd like most of us- he starts a GDT, and we win-he's gonna make dang sure he's on the nest one-
    Good for him- and boo on those who foolishly think Jobu isn't real.
