5/21 Game thread: Braves vs. Nats

Damn good play by Rio

 

[TheBravos]

Good news....hopefully we won't have to see him too many more starts.

Unless we can get his pitch count up, it's ova... we aren't hitting him today

Line up flip will start to get to him.

No time like here

Chip says hitting into DP was smart play.

I was listening to a Chip interview from a podcast the other day and I was blown away by how competent and knowledgeable he was. Like, seriously - it was an actual interview where he knew more about players and strategy than I've ever heard from a broadcast.

I think he just thinks his role is to be a yes man to Joe and positive spin PR guy for the Braves

If Jamie's hit was against us, it would be a discussion of how bad of a fielder Kemp is and most any other LF would have had that.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Strasburg has a filthy breaking ball today.

Self inflicted wounds.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good at-bat by Garcia. Inciarte has been insanely frustrating at the plate this year. He is consistently hitting with RISP and he fails almost every time.

This is entirely correct.

 

[Garmel]

Move Swanson back to the 7th or 8th spot tomorrow, please.

Dansby's entire new patient approach has gone out the window this game.

Way to be eventful Nick....Christ

Yes, it's frustrating. But Strasburg is also absolutely pitching a beauty.

Stras or the homeless meth addict that's impersonating him on the mound is flat dealing.

 

[jsebe10]

He's gonna back foot you every time clown! Fckn new guy.

 

[TheBravos]

Unless we get Stras out...this game is over. Nasty stuff.

 

[TheBravos]

He just got traded and flew in today...give him a game to get his feet under him. Also, shows you how nasty the pitch is when he knows that and still can't lay off.

 

[The Tariff King]

Good news....hopefully we won't have to see him too many more starts.

Who??
