GDT 6/15/19: Kill the Phills

[UNCBlue012]

I could deal with one run, but allowing two is just bad.

[Hudson2]

We all knew what Jackson was and sooner or later he’d turn back into a pumpkin. We’ll have to overpay but Will Smith and one more arm is needed bad.

[AJonesATL]

Really can't blame Jackson too much. He's basically been a below league average reliever since he came to the bigs. He is not capable of being a closer. We have put him in a situation to fail, he's a nice 6th inning reliever, nothing more.

[striker42]

How do we STILL not have a closer?!?!

[CyYoung31]

Don’t hang one to this guy.

[msstate7]

Harper is about to flatten this ball somewhere

[Dunit24]

6 blown saves. 6. 10 for 16 ain't good. AA, do something. It's clear we have the tools, but we need a closer. I wonder if one of the best was out there and we just ignored it.

[Enscheff]

Aw, another emotionally stunted adult who feels that trying to be right on a sports board is the highlight of his life.

Why is this guy allowed to continually derail threads like this? Why don’t the mods do something about this kind of message board bullying?

Am I the only one who sees the irony of claiming someone else has to be right while arguing for several pages?

[TheBravos]

You know what’s gonna happen here

[msstate7]

Who do they have to PH? Just walk Harper

[UNCBlue012]

Really would love to get this win here.

[Braves1976]

Jackson has given up runs in four straight and blown two saves and is about to take a loss I am afraid. He should've had a loss in another but Riley homered changing that game.

I don't see Neris blowing two straight games.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Well, they rallied last night. Let's see if they can do it again

[nsacpi]

pretty much everyone in the pen is available

closer: Jackson
7-8 Minter and Swarzak with matchups determining which one gets which inning

Newk probably only goes 4 or 5. Webb and Touki likely will be the bridges to the 7th inning.

Innings eater in low leverage situation: Touki and Ynoa

Tomlin probably saved in case it is an extra innings game.

cant complain, Snit has followed my instructions

[AJonesATL]

Does anyone think Gausman would make a good closer?

[Enscheff]

Don’t think Acuna had to dive there haha.

[striker42]

It's time to remove Jackson from the closer role. Not sure who takes his place but we can keep giving away leads in the 9th

[Braves1976]

Does anyone think Gausman would make a good closer?

better than Jackson i would think.

[thewupk]

6 blown saves. 6. 10 for 16 ain't good. AA, do something. It's clear we have the tools, but we need a closer. I wonder if one of the best was out there and we just ignored it.

He was and we didnt.

[Coredor]

Does anyone think Gausman would make a good closer?

I doubt he could be worse. My gut tells be he wouldn’t be bad. He’s a two pitch guy who could rev it up a bit extra out of the pen. I’d like a proven closer but he’d be worth a shot.
