GDT 8/1/21: Brewers vs Braves - Snapping the streak

[bravesnumberone]

As long as Smith is on this team there needs to be three catchers and get rid of Greene. Or Arcia up and get rid of Greene

Why in the world did St. Louis buy Lester and Happ? Their playoff odds are almost nonexistent.

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

I just love the Duvall acquisition.

Lester and happ are really bad this season. Perhaps they're trying to improve draft position

 

[msstate7]

Looks like we'll stay 4 back. First team to 82 wins wins the division

 

[msstate7]

We face 3 LHP in St. Louis. Be nice to have TDA there Tuesday night

 

[CyYoung31]

I hate baseball.

 

[bravesnumberone]

They do kind of look like a functional baseball team though. Two bad innings from Touki and some rough luck today.

Looks the same to me.

Looks the same to me.

We played arguably the best team in the NL and against two of their top pitchers. Touki ain’t pitching in a month.

I think we showed up well

 

[msstate7]

Schedule lets up now, and we're close to getting TDA and ynoa back. We'll find out a lot about this team the next 2 weeks

I don't remember saying we were getting TDA and ynoa back in May, June, and July, but perhaps I did.

 

[msstate7]

What I do remember is most everyone saying we'd be completely out of it by this time at the ASB. We've played a very tough schedule, and haven't lost ground. It's time to stop just treading water though...

Along with upgraded the pen and OF with actual major leaguers.

We don't need to win 90 games.

i'm kidding.

 

[msstate7]

i'm kidding.

I'm usually pretty pessimistic, but for some reason, I have a good feeling about our chances down the stretch

 

[CyYoung31]

i'm kidding.

You’re not wrong though.

I didn’t. I said the fall off would come in August. But, that was before all of the injuries to the Mets and the (albeit, modest) additions to the Braves.

I think it will remain a race now throughout the year, but I can’t see the Braves winning it simply because they haven’t given me reason to believe they’re anything but a mediocre team, and worse than the Mets.

d'Arnaud probably won't hit like last year, but a hot streak could make a lot of difference.
