Game on April 8

[NinersSBChamps]

Braves at Pirates game 2 of the series.

Kemp out of lineup lol. Ender still sucks.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Swanson made a double. Swanson made an out.

 

[striker42]

Ended seems to be a slow starter.

Nice swing by Dansby.

We've had some rotten luck this series. Garcia smoked that ball the opposite way and it ended up a DP.

 

[sturg33]

Dansby with another E

 

[TURBO]

Dansby with another E

Was ruled a hit I thought

 

[Enscheff]

The Braves will not be a playoff contender until they upgrade the lead off slot. Hopefully Albies is the answer.

Nice to se Swanson turn on a 95 MPH fastball.

Adonis hit the ball hard and suffered from bad luck again.

Cutch looks good at the plate. I wish the Braves would have been in position to buy low on him last offseason.

BP almost turned that DP too casually.

It was. This is a great example of why FP% is a failure and the advanced defensive stats are the way to go. That should of been an out regardless.

 

[Enscheff]

Was ruled a hit I thought

That play should have been made, no matter how it was scored.

 

[Enscheff]

Braves taking advantage of Cutch's poor arm in RF already.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

That play should have been made, no matter how it was scored.

Agreed. I think TURBO was simply stating that it was ruled a hit. Don't think he was making an excuse.

 

[striker42]

Some overly harshness on Dansby here. He got doubled off on a line drive. If he had been on the bag they could have doubled off Freeman just as easily.

As for the infield hit, it would have taken a perfect play to get the runner. When the ball hopped on him a little keeping him from fielding cleanly he had no chance. He probably makes that play most of the time but it's not an easy play.

 

[Enscheff]

Man, Jace just look lost.

 

[striker42]

Jace just can't get over the hump at this level.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Jace just can't get over the hump at this level.

Which is why he should be down a level.

 

[TURBO]

S rod would be such an upgrade to Jace

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Dickey for lead off.

 

[50PoundHead]

Dickey for lead off.

I was thinking more middle of the order.

 

[Hawk]

Swing swingin' dickey.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What game is Ender playing at the plate?

 

[TURBO]

Grand Slam coming up
