GDT 8-18-18 NIGHT OF THE FOLTYVILLE STOPPER

[msstate7]

this loss will be huge, i predict we look back on this series and i just hope it gets snit replaced if we miss the playoffs because of it etc.

Braves not making playoffs. September will be brutal... can't beat good teams out of division

 

[striker42]

We deserve to lose this one.

 

[UNCBlue012]

We’re really gonna bunt to bring up a guy whose recent lukewarm streak has threatened to raise his OPS to .700?

THIS THIS THIS

To be fair, the guy that bunted has the lowest ops of starters. I didn't like bunt though

 

[TheBravos]

Welp...completely erases the good work done in the last two series. We should be 2-1 in this series. Ouch.

 

[jsebe10]

I wonder how the brass can sit there from their catered suite and contiunuously watch this montrosity of a bullpen that they just put band aides on at the deadline....

 

[Braves1976]

I mean, at some point you have to go to your big dogs to give you the best chance of winning this game. Not Luke ****ing Jackson. Losing a 4 game series on the verge of being swept is something that can’t be happening right now.

Colorado is also in the WC race so another team gaining on us in that and passing us. Terrible managing of a key series, esp. tonight.

 

[CJ9]

So was Brach unavailable by one of Snit’s random decisions or what? Why isn’t he the go-to righty there?

 

[UNCBlue012]

The Phillies have been scuffling a bit and we’ve done nothing to make up for it. Hell, we’ve shot ourselves in the foot.

We’re very obviously the better team in this series right now.

The bullpen is fine, if Snitker would just use them properly.

They did make changes, though. The issue is bullpen management.

 

[CyYoung31]

How many pitches does it take Davis to go 1-2-3? Over/under 10.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Marlins lead Nats 7-5.

 

[jsebe10]

We deserve to lose this one.

No...Minter does...

 

[AerchAngel]

Still trying to get my mind around ninth inning, two out, nobody on, three run lead and losing the damn game.

We've seen this before.

 

[TURBO]

How many pitches does it take Davis to go 1-2-3? Over/under 10.

Acuna gets on base

 

[jsebe10]

How many pitches does it take Davis to go 1-2-3? Over/under 10.

14...

We will get a winner on and then swing at everything in the dirt.

 

[UNCBlue012]

We've seen this before.

you shouldn’t, ever. Pitching is hard, we know that. But that’s about as easy as it gets for a pitcher.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Yes.

In all honesty, Minter was probably actually hurt. No, he's not the Craig Kimbrel everyone is fond of, but unless you just consider him as due for a meltdown, he isn't as bad as tonight. He's a 2.5-3 ERA pitcher in reality, respectable, but everyone is preferring better as closer.

Now for the 10th...someone tell me why Luke Jackson was in a game that was really needed? Biddle had enough rest to where it should've been him.

 

[USMA76]

I keep remembering Acuña's double that only missed going out by a couple of feet.
