Nats @ Braves, Doubleheader 9/4. Game 1 - ACUNA RETURNS!

[bravesfanMatt]

Soto scratched from the Nats lineup with elbow soreness. Wow

Old shuffle board injury flaring up. Should have been wearing his tommy copper.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Literally walk turner and deal with the other scrubs.

 

[Heyward]

Excited for Weigel. Hope he gets to pitch. He's been up before but no pitching.

Love Carmago out for at least one of the games.

Ynoa starting....still don't get it. Love to see Weigel get one time through and let Ynoa follow him. Didn't Ynoa pitch two days ago?

Ynoa is to get Anderson an extra day of rest. We have 1 day off the rest of the season.

 

[Hulavol]

Love having Weigel up !

Pretty terrible ball-one call there. Is it me, or has home-plate umpiring been worse than usual this "season"?

 

[jpx7]

Ill-advised throw by the late-bloomer ...

 

[jpx7]

I didn't get to see much at all of Milone's first start, since I was working ... but I already feel like I've seen enough.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Solid first inning

umpiring in general has been awful this season

it is what it is

 

[salmagundy]

Great run saving leaping catch by Hech.

 

[jpx7]

Solid first inning

How are you defining "solid"?

 

[striker42]

Well, Turner's hit was cheap but the lineout balanced things out.

 

[thewupk]

How are you defining "solid"?

3 weak ground balls?

 

[Hulavol]

Good pitching so far ... seems to have very good command..

 

[thewupk]

Acuna already flexing the hand....

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Yeah no one swung and missed a single pitch. 3 innings is all he should go

 

[jpx7]

3 weak ground balls?

I'm more concerned that he's missing arm-side with two pitches to start each batter.

 

[thewupk]

LMFAO

Acuna mad and it's a homer...

 

[Slippyjms]

Hey remember when snit let him play sore even to the point where he didn’t switch hit. That seemed pretty smart now.

That’s the kinda brilliant managing we’ve come to expect from Snit over the years. I really wish there was a stat like manager WAR
