GDT 4/23/25: Braves vs Cardinals - Verdugo Out White In

[Hulavol]

That’s funny as shit man.

 

[Carp]

Had we taken just 1 game a piece vs SD and LAD, we'd be .500 right now, and there would be much less doom and gloom going around, me thinks.

Whoever the MLB scheduler is needs a swift kick to the nuts.

 

[Tapate50]

Blame no one but the Braves. They decided to come out and be an uncompetitive single A squad

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Hopefully the Braves can get healthy and be the strongest version of themselves just as the schedules turns to some easy games.

 

[msstate7]

I think Kimbrel is gonna be a nice addition to the pen.

I think Grant Mcauley said his fastball is 91-93 currently….I’m hopeful for lightning in a bottle, but that seems not ideal.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Through all the frustration, a 5-1 homestand. I’ll take it

And 3 of the next 6 games vs the Rockies. That should be an easy 4-2 game stretch so obviously they will win the first 2 vs the Dbags then lose the last 4 games.

Woof. I didn't realize that

Yikes. Hopefully still building up arm strength.

I mean 2 west coast trips in the first month seems excessive

Yea they weren’t great but 4 of the those losses were 1 run games, that’s competitive. Not making excuses just saying

 

[Hulavol]

Yeah - it’s not like we went out there and got blown out. We lost. It sucked, it’s over, and the Phillies still have to go out there and deal with it too (I refuse to acknowledge the future third place metrolpolitans).

 

[Tapate50]

I don’t know- we were playing bad baseball.
They probably shoulda beat us by more.

Ryan Fernandez, the guy White homered off of yesterday, has -1.1 WAR in 8 2/3 innings.

Hector Neris had a -.4 in just 2 games for the Braves..

 

[Nerfherders]

When you single-handedly lose a game, you get -1 WAR. Makes sense to me.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Braves get done with the west coast games pretty early this season. After the All Star Break, I think the furthest west they travel is Dallas, Kansas City, and Chicago.

I like this

I want to believe this. So I will.

 

[seanyates]

I'd assume Kimbrel will join the team on the next homestand.
