GDT 5/18: Gausman v Anderson

[Jaw]

I'm super impressed with what Newcomb and Jackson are doing in the bullpen. I didn't expect this from either of them.

 

[BeanieAntics]

yeah...i wish he hadn't said that

The *relatively* easy series.

If we can sweep this series tomorrow it will be huge with us going into a relatively easy four game series against the Giants.

Unjinx.

Webb too

I have thought about it and this is my favorite win of the season. Good pitching. Rookie bomb. Bad luck blown save but great pitching to keep it tied. Beast Newk. FF walk off against Hader. Not much to dislike about this win. And the kicker is we won the series against a great team that just took 3 of 4 from faillies.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Webb too

If minter gets right and Kimbrel signs. Our pen becomes a strength.

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

He had old tweets when he was younger, narrator they werent good.

Another reason to dislike Hader!

 

[Braves1976]

not that we are thinking wild card, but if the giants hold on to beat the d'backs we'd be tied with Arizona for the second wild card.

Yes and Venters... Oh nevermind!!

 

[Braves1976]

Yes and Venters... Oh nevermind!!

I guess we cannot rule out Venters or Biddle being back. Jackson was DFA'd at least once, maybe twice and released once last year and we still brought him back.

Any question about what the starting outfield is moving forward?

Acuna is a true centerfielder. So huge that one of the best players in baseball also plys a great centerfield.

Inciarte won’t play for awhile imo. Riley is smoking hot and he’s not taking any of the guys spots right now.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I would like to remind everyone that we are only 4 games over .500 now so we are playing bad still.

 

[msstate7]

At the ~ 30% mark of the season, I find it funny that most everyone hated the markakis signing, yet he has a higher wRC+ and ops than Acuna at the moment. Nick on pace for over 3.5 fWAR. He's looking like a very good signing.

Oh, and no, I don't think nick is better than acuna at either stat by season end. I do think nick is vastly under appreciated here though

 

[AerchAngel]

Riley did hit that a long way oppo though, that is impressive.

He needs more days off. I felt it was a good opportunity to rest him today. But I don’t think Snit liked the idea of camargo and clutch in the same outfield.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Oh and for those of you who felt Jackson was bad last night the expect batting averag on the two hits were .110 for asscia and .080 for lo crap.
