GDT 9-9: ROTY Battle; Ronald back down to 7th

[UNCBlue012]

Everything this dude throws is down the middle. How in the world is he so effective? The movement must be really good

it's not.

Horton has just had a good run. He doesn't look like a dude that will be more than a 3-4 starter.

 

[CJ9]

Hopefully voters will hold it against Horton that he got a significant advantage of facing our offense twice down the stretch.

 

[UNCBlue012]

it's not.

The hell are you watching? Lmao

 

[Hulavol]

This Horton bastard is annoying the F out of me.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The hell are you watching? Lmao

statcast.. the data shows his movement is below average. He is smoke and mirrors..

 

[bravesfanMatt]

so the Braves skip a start and push a guy back a few days.. only to let him go out and throw 100 pitches... feels logical, I guess..

 

[CJ9]

Horton is at 66 pitches. They’ve been pulling him around 75, so likely only one more inning of misery against him remaining.

 

[msstate7]

Really nice to see strider pitching well

 

[Hulavol]

Good job Strider

 

[Hulavol]

Alright rack his ass up

 

[Hulavol]

Let’s go Mike

 

[UNCBlue012]

Watching these dudes swing through or ground out on center-cut two-strike fastballs is wild.

 

[Hulavol]

That runner on first belongs to Horton…. I suggest we drive him in

 

[CyYoung31]

Reading this thread, I was expecting Strider to have given up 8 runs and struck out 2 over 4 innings. I look up to see he gave up 2 over 6 innings with 8 Ks.

Why fuck is Diaz on this team much less in this game? What a bone headed acquy

 

[Hulavol]

Diaz needs to be DFAd before the bottom of the 8th.

AA doing the lords work by picking up these shitty relievers knowing Snit can't help himself and will be curious to try them in high leverage situations and blow games for us. Snit treats waiver and scrap pick ups like trade/free agent pick ups. Throws them in to the fire immediately to give them a chance to blow the game for us!

Keeps our W-L record in tact for draft positioning.

Why we don't have any reason to win? Losing helps more at this point.
