Expecting a huge game from Anthony John.

Wisler has reverse splits so only 2 lefties could work to n his advantage.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Fully expect the Mets catcher whom I have never heard of to have a great game.

Left handed pitchers typically do better against lefty hitters. Wisler was mashed by lefties and was good vs righties. That's a reverse platoon split.

Except Wisler is RH...

Wisler is a righty. His splits are normal ones but the premise that fewer lefties is potentially good is a correct one, since they are normal splits.

Drugs are bad.

Jace sets the pace.

 

[Braves1976]

What is interesting about Wisler getting the call is that Marty Reed recently said in an interview that he didn't think he was ready yet. He said in his view he needs to spend the rest of this year in AAA. But he did add that he could see him going up earlier if there is a need or someone goes down to injury.

'Superior Light Beer' is the quintessential oxymoron, IMO.

No doubt.

 

[Braves1976]

Fredi isn't doing the front office any favors starting CJ vs tough righties or righties in general as much as he does. CJ needs to start vs almost only lefties to put up good numbers. And without that trading him will be even harder IMO.

CJ also came back from his rehab way too fast IMO.

What kills me about Mich Ultra is that there is no shortage of light beers—****ty, yes, I grant that—that are at least drinkable in desperation and feature maybe 4-5 more calories per pop than Mich Ultra, consuming which is like drinking municipal water filtered through a sheet of corn-infused cardboard. Somehow, though, the idea that it's "ultra light" has conned some poor souls into buying it.

My wife buys the cheap, light beer. I can drink it with frosted mug but I have to drink it fast.

I think I could intake Japanese light beers intravenously, though.

 

[Braves1976]

Jace sure ends up in a lot of full counts, I love the way he battles and works pitchers.

 

[Braves1976]

Jace was safe! Why wasn't that reviewed? If that was reviewed that was fast and he looked safe to me.
