GDT 8-10 ... MIKE BRINGS THE CORNMEAL AND HOT SAUCE

[USMA76]

Name one guy in our bullpen that consistently has clean innings.

{crickets}

 

[Heyward]

Do we still use Melancon with a four run lead on back to back days? Answer: probably.

Yes, we have an off day Monday. No need to make this game anymore interesting than it needs to be.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Lol Acuna is wanting 40/40 really bad haha.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking Ronald.

 

[USMA76]

Acuña gets his cheapest stolen base of the season there.

 

[thethe]

Acuna has to relax. He is going to get himself plunked.

 

[BeanieAntics]

9 homers and 12 steals is a VERY reasonable number with 43 games.

 

[nsacpi]

kind of tough for Melancon to hold readiness to come in for so long...but he's been around for a while and knows how to handle things

It's 8/12, he has 32 bombs.

For his $14M salary, I'm optimistic he'll be able to figure it out.

That's right. Even more reasonable.

This has nothing to do with the Camargo homer, because I was going to say this anyway. But, if we win this game I would have Camargo at 3B tomorrow. We have got to start making sure our stars don’t wear down down the stretch, especially the older ones. And we’re already behind the 8-ball.

He has been so good so i 'get it' but its so odd that donaldson hasnt gotten more rest.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

What is the Marlins problem?

I'm not against it, JD's in a little bit of a funk.

I'd at least let Joyce start for Duvall.

 

[USMA76]

Not sure I've seen anyone previously pull Melancon's preferred trick of covering the pitching rubber with dirt. At least I know what Prado was upset about last night.

 

[Braves1976]

Name one guy in our bullpen that consistently has clean innings.

Jackson came in with the second worst IRS % on the team allowing 44.4 percent to score, that just went up. Webb is actually among our best but he is hurt and Swarzak has good IRS numbers too but obviously he started the inning and didn't have it. Blevins is good but only vs lefties. Bottom line, pretty much anyone you go with besides Jackson has a better strand rate. The three new relievers obviously have too small a sample size with us to use.

 

[CyYoung31]

Lmao, great strike call.

 

[Heyward]

Ump is ready to head home.

 

[thethe]

Wow ump
