GDT 5-4 - IAN and THE FORCES of GOOD vs. the seven trainers

[bravesfanMatt]

This is ottavino's 3rd day in a row. Hopefully buck is gonna burn his arms up

I was thinking the same thing.. Dude is going to kill key guys in the pen.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Well Ottavino doesn't have his normal stuff. 3rd day in a row is likely taking it's toll on him.

I mean... he's not locating, but he's throwing hard and his slider is moving like crazy.

Nice little Rick Flair from Swanson

Most of his sliders were nothing like they were the past two days. Either way he was off and the Braves took advantage

We harp on snit for not using the good BP arms enough, and now we see what can happen when you use them too often.

 

[Garmel]

We scored 5 runs with only one hard hit ball.

 

[TURBO]

Nice Acuna. Never do it again

 

[Enscheff]

Am I the only one who wanted Acuna to sit in the dirt and wait to be tagged there, rather than play pickle?

I think most here grip about him using Newk in a high leverage situation in the 5th inning and then using Minter in the 7th for the bottom of the order.

I hate Twit more for the lineups he puts out there on a consistent basis... but that is also him working with a few turds.. but yesterday in game one with 2 on in the 7th, I think... he let herpes hit with 2 outs instead of letting Acuna pinch hit and have 2 plate appearances. I have a feeling it was a directive from above to NOT play him.. but I would have still been tempted to say FU AA, I wanna win.

 

[Garmel]

I love Acuna's sprit but I wish he'd learn how to throttle it down a bit.

Ian Anderson almost never looks very good yet he constantly goes 5+ innings with minimal damage lol

 

[Garmel]

If Acuna played in the era where catchers were blocking the plate he would absolutely be bulldozing them. He just plays with intensity.

Venezuelan Rose?

 

[thewupk]

Swanson saved a run because Ozuna aint throwing anybody out

 

[thewupk]

McHugh is so good

The power of deception.

 

[TURBO]

Our bullpen it was going to be a strength all year

we need a mop up guy to finish this one.

Chavez is perfect for that. But he did it yesterday already

 

[Garmel]

Heredia!
