4/7 DH Game 1

[50PoundHead]

agree on max being a better hitter than comargo. Comargo is not good, but I wouldn't waste one of our 3 PH in that spot.

Max was awful. I agree with getting him out. Ice the leg. Save the innings on the arm. Come back next time.

This is why Tomlin got the million bucks. See if he earns it. I still expect him to give up runs, but hopefully he doesn't get killed.

Can the Braves actually hit vs the Nationals crappy pen?

That's my thought. It isn't about Fried's relative ability vis-a-vis Camargo. It was why waste a player in that situation. Fried's coming out of the game and the chances of scoring are slim in the no one on/two out situation.

Holy Jesus, Acuna. Dude just hits.

 

[salmagundy]

Acuna with single for his 3rd hit today

Ozzie GO 1-3 hitting RH Now 0-19

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ozzie hit that 107 off the bat and still couldn't get a hit. He's snakebitten, man.

 

[CyYoung31]

What a BS strike 3 call on Freeman.

 

[thewupk]

umpire sucks

 

[drewdat]

Getting those three calls after going 3-0. Never seen it.

 

[salmagundy]

What a BS strike 3 call on Freeman.

All 3 strikes were BS calls

Also against the reigning MVP. No respect.

What a BS strike 3 call on Freeman.

Boy sounded like strike 2 was worse

 

[CrazyTrain]

This game is hard enough even when the umps aren't so ****ing terrible.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Well, he returned the favor on the ball 1 call for Ozuna.

 

[thewupk]

All 3 strikes were BS calls

Strike 2 was clearly in the zone

 

[CyYoung31]

Getting those three calls after going 3-0. Never seen it.

The 2nd one was a strike, but the worst part about the other two was not only were they not strikes but they were nowhere near where the catcher had set up.

 

[jpx7]

The first 3-0 strike was borderline, and the second was pretty clearly a strike; but the “strikeout” pitch was wayyyyy inside and an absolutely terrible call. I assume it was revenge for Freeman complaining on the first two strike calls.

 

[UNCBlue012]

yikes, Ozuna. That kid pitched like ass the entire time through his sequence.

 

[msstate7]

Ozuna is killing us

 

[salmagundy]

3-0 Ozuna swings at a low pitch out of zone

And continues to swing at pitches that are questionable in zone for the K

Yep, umps are such unprofessional little bitches.

The revenge factor should be hammered as reason for robo umps
