8/31 - Braves @ Red Sox, #MyAce Edition

[jpx7]

He made him take an ugly swing for a strikeout

Oh—I read "DOB" initially. He only regularly embarrasses himself, so I was confused.

 

[CyYoung31]

Give it up for Dennis O’Dell!

 

[thethe]

If he keeps pitching like this, he's a real threat to win the Cy Young. The narrative—"he was the Braves' only starting pitcher"—could really aid his case in the minds of journalist-voters, I think.

Do i get points for Fried?

O’Day trade paying dividends 2 years later..,

You were high man on Fried...

 

[VirginiaBrave]

No. The shortened season has really hurt him but Neck is going to be a guy that needs to get to 3000 hits to get in. So that's like 4 more productive seasons.

Let him get them somewhere else. Need to really let this young group play.

Like a blind squirrel gets credit for finding a nut. It’s an incredible sight.

If a clock says it’s 3 o’clock every time you look at it, and you just so happen to look at it once when it’s 3 o’clock, do you say the clock was right?

I liked my cliche’d simile better than your cliche’d analogy.

 

[CyYoung31]

Again, the Braves fail to get a runner in with less than 3 outs.

He had to add an entire new pitch to his repertoire to get there—but sure. Still doesn't get you into the black, though, buddy.

Prime Ender was fun at least

 

[CrazyTrain]

It’s really unfortunate that Soroka is missing out on what would’ve been an epic duel for the Braves Ace title.

"Joe Simpson has said for years ..."

And my brain initiates a protective thirty-second black-out.

 

[Garmel]

Ender has to have something wrong with him.

, but then off the cliff he went.

Scorching -0.1 WAR going into today

That $8m for 2021 looked like it'd be a steal at the time. Now—unless he can dramatically turn things around in September—we'll be left wondering if anyone will take him off the Braves' hands for free, or whether he'll be one of the more expensive fourth OFs in the league.

Big assumptions here ....


He’d likely have to play all phases of the game better than he does now to be a 4th OF.

Ozuna reminds me just a little bit of Gary Sheffield in the batter's box.
