GDT: Dodgers @ Braves 6/5/21

[CrazyTrain]

Kershaw at 93 should not be challenging fastball hitters up in the zone.

Gotta paint the corners my man.

 

[Garmel]

If someone had told me Riley would have a .900 ops after 200 PAs I would have bet good money the Braves would be in first place.

Imagine if we had this Riley last year.

Thought you were leaving us?

Just keeping up on at bat. I'm watching college baseball. Watching the dodgers is hard on me... they're very, very good

We just punched Kershaw in the mouth. Was a sight to see.

What if we told you Riley had an ops of 900, but no ozuna and TDA?

Morton back to throwing meatballs. 3 straight singles

 

[TURBO]

We cant have anything nice

 

[salmagundy]

make that 4 straight singles, adding 1 run

 

[msstate7]

Lol, F the dodgers and the braves

 

[thewupk]

3 errors....so far

 

[salmagundy]

Swanson commits another error to allow 4th run

A dumb challenge by Snits

 

[TURBO]

3 errors. Heard to overcome that against elite teams. Bad Challenge

 

[Garmel]

You can't tell me this team doesn't play tight against the Dodgers.

 

[Enscheff]

So the scenario is this...

Morton at 70+ pitches through 4 and about to face the top of the order a 3rd time. He is due to bat 3rd in the inning. The Braves up by 1 run.

If he comes up with 2 out and nobody on, you have to let him hit and face at least Betts and Turner with the platoon advantage.

What do you do if his spot comes up with a runner on? What about 2 runners on? I think I punt this PA no matter what.

When do you pull Morton, knowing you can pitch around Bellinger if needed? I think Taylor is Morton’s last batter no matter what.

 

[salmagundy]

Morton with 72 pitches thru 4

How many more innings is Snits going to keep him out there?? My guess is at least 1 as Morton hits 3rd in Bot 4th

 

[msstate7]

My expectations for Acuna are completely unfair. I really get mad when he doesn't come thru.

 

[salmagundy]

Who is going to be 1st out of pen tonight??

 

[salmagundy]

How did Ozzie get to that ball hit by Betts??

 

[CrazyTrain]

What a great play by Ozzie.
