[Mad Dog Murph]

Expecting a huge night (of ground outs) for Harris.

 

[msstate7]

Big game from Morton.

 

[Garmel]

Expecting Duvall to look like a bucket of ****.

 

[Garmel]

I know Ozuna's defense is bad but to keep Contreras on the bench isn't smart.

 

[Deester11]

I know Ozuna's defense is bad but to keep Contreras on the bench isn't smart.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

Expecting Duvall to look like a bucket of ****.

That’s an insult to buckets of ****

 

[Garmel]

My sentiments exactly.

A normal manager with the addition of Harris would see an opportunity to sit Duvall, your worst hitter. Snit sees an opportunity to sit one of his better hitters.

Contreras needs to be in the lineup and let Duval have a few days off

 

[msstate7]

Contreras needs to be in the lineup and let Duval have a few days off

I'm sure we'd love that, but we'd have a butcher in LF

 

[Hudson2]

I'm sure we'd love that, but we'd have a butcher in LF

It’d be better than seeing Duval hit.

 

[msstate7]

It’d be better than seeing Duval hit.

I'm not arguing. I'm fine with either way really bc it's a vast improvement either defensively or offensively.

May be time to consider giving Contreras more starts at catcher

 

[Garmel]

I'm sure we'd love that, but we'd have a butcher in LF

Offense is generally much more important than corner outfield defense. I know yesterday looked bad but Contreras' bat is more important that Duvall's defense over time.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Would you rather have Ozuna or Contreras' defense in LF (other DH'ing) or Duvall in the OF but hitting as well?

I know Duvall grades well defensively, but Snitker is way too loyal to some players. He even gushed about Adam last year when he was on the Marlins.

 

[Hulavol]

Says here, despite all the teeth gnashing around here…. we are still going to win this series with Arizona, and the next one in Coors, and win the division by a decent margin.
This team is freakin’ stacked.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Braves are elite at hard hit outs.

 

[Enscheff]

Morton hits a guy with a curve. That almost always leads to a horrid inning.

 

[TURBO]

Blah

 

[Garmel]

Morton hits a guy with a curve. That almost always leads to a horrid inning.

Always happens.

 

[msstate7]

If this score holds up, we'll be back 10.5 games
