I don't love the Nats been a Braves fan my entire life, just pointing out the truth. Some guy said the Nats are not good which is mind blowing.

One guy... sorry to correct you again.

Your life depends on defensive performance at 3rd. You going with ff or Adonis?

 

[zbhargrove]

Roark is also throwing much harder than I thought he could. Strasburg velocity didn't seem to be elevated though... still, wonder how accurate this gun is.

That was in my heyday man.. I am an old Braves fan. I was in my first year of college in 91...

JT with a comfy lead.. only 50 pitches... would love to see him get through 8 shut out innings. See where he is at and go for the CG shutout with the break coming up.

Why do we tend to hit really good pitchers better than we hit really average ones....

We've pretty much always owned Stras for the most part for some reason (outside of a few starts here or there where he blanks us), Gio too. Just one of those weird but nice quirks.

Up 6-0 with 2 out and no one, go right at Harper. Worst he can make it is 6-1. Instead, you put him on to where Zimmerman can homer and make it 6-2.

Think Teheran is scared of Harper at this point.

I never understood this thought process.. the worse he could do is make it 6-1 .. then Zimmer homer can make it 6-2.. so pitch around the lefty you feel less comfortable getting out and go after the guy you know you can. JT is thinking it is 1-0.. he wants the shutout..

Ender so good.

There's no such thing as a flawless team in baseball, best teams can lose on any given day. It's baseball. Your opinion is flawed bud.

Ender so good.

our second best player

Now we get to listen to Chip explain how his defensive eye test is superior to everyone else's.

You obviously aren't getting it...

Well, if you were coked up as much as Chip, you may have a better, more alert defensive eye.

 

[Enscheff]

Now he's questioning who's fault it is when a pitcher misses his spot and the batter beats a shift.

He couldn't be more clueless. And then he spreads that ignorance to tens of thousands of casual fans.

Then those casual fans come to this board and argue about defensive metrics haha

Who's the first, Kemp?

FTR, I've been on the Ender train since last year. Hope we don't trade him anytime soon.

they are good but very flawed.

Just their bullpen mainly, everywhere else, they're quite good. Not to mention the injuries to Taylor, Turner, Eaton among others.

If they had a stable pen, they'd be arguably NL favorites. Sucks we'd be at .500 if we didnt blow yesterdays game though.
