GDT 5/24/25: Braves vs. Padres - Drake in the 2 hole

[CyYoung31]

I don’t think the wrist is supposed to bend like that.

 

[msstate7]

To me that's horse crap. Pulling the bat back or not, he moved over the plate.

 

[msstate7]

I'd walk machado

How many f'n hits we gonna let him get vs us? Just IBB him. F!!!!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Another stupid ass run. We too often refuse to buckle down when the opposing team has a RISP. It's maddening

 

[msstate7]

We all talk about EV here and how we're unlucky, but I would kill to have guys that just serve the ball out there machado and Merrill have done in this game. We don't the finesse game at all

Yup. They rarely "hit it where they ain't." The approach is truly atrocious most of the time.

 

[msstate7]

This may be our last chance... better score off this guy before they unload their pen

 

[zbhargrove]

Of course Olson hits a big fly right after a double play... like clockwork

 

[CyYoung31]

Olson's 5 game hot streak is over. Gotta deal with his 20 game shit streak to get the good 5 games now

Keep it up.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I'm glad Olson went oppo because Marcel not sending that ball into orbit is insane

I like Murphy and think he’s a great catcher, but Baldwin is simply the better player. You have to wonder if Murphy gets moved this summer

I will take it. It woulda been a hard hit ground ball if someone was on 1b

I wondered about that being a possibility and I was promptly told that it was a pretty stupid idea. If you can really upgrade LF or SS trading him (or both?), I think you do it. The only argument is that it kinda looks bad that we extended him.

I'd worry about the difference in ERA between them, but with a bat, I want Baldwin

He really isn’t though.

 

[chop2chip]

I’m frankly stunned Tuisasopo threw up the stop sign

He’s a better catcher in terms game calling and defense. Offensively, Drake might be a little better, but he’s not this much better.

 

[msstate7]

Keep it up.

You think i will stop? I'll bash Olson with my last breath on this world

 

[chop2chip]

See Tui? It’s possible to score from 3B. It’s okay to stop someone
