GDT: Card @ Braves Return of Are See Ya

[Heyward]

This game should put Fried at the top of the fWAR list in the NL again. Alcantara, Fried, and Rodon keep leapfrogging each other.

Alcantara is probably the favorite, he's been absolutely insane this year.

Fried came up a tad short. 3.3 fWAR to Alcantara's 3.4

Alcantara has two clear advantages right now over Fried for any Cy consideration. IP pitches. Dude has been a machine. And ERA due to a super low BABIP. Hopefully, that reverses course and his ERA starts to rise. Fried has a decent shot at the Cy Young.

Just don't want that ERA to rise while playing the Mets. lol

Seeing Rosario seemingly back to normal is such a huge boost. He doesn’t need to be perfect, just productive. He’s been just that so far. His eye-sight seems good to go!

the eye thing was pretty funny last night

Team is loaded

That is all

We all know Fried will hit the DL at some point, so we know he won't be an innings eater.

hope they sober up before tonights game..

But speaking of loaded, I am heading to the Omni overlooking the ballpark for the Nats series. it will be insane.. not sure I will go into the park, just watch from balcony and do day drinking at the battery.

That's the Mets' opposition Sunday and Monday

If you're gonna wear a mustache, you can't be a b*tch, miles. Man up, or shave

I mean, Mikolas isn't wrong on the general point -- there are rules on the books basically preventing hitters from stepping out of the box and stalling for time, and you could probably make at least a small dent in pace of play problems by enforcing those rules as written. And I appreciate that Mikolas is a work fast kind of guy.

On the specific point, though, Mikolas knows those rules are never enforced, he knows hitters are going to step out of the box in a way they technically aren't allowed to and so bringing it up in the context of a given game is pretty whiny.

Game time was 2:32. It's not like the braves were trying to be the Yankees or Red Sox. Miles just needs to change his tampon

Mikolas knows exactly what the rules are and he knows exactly how often this particular rule is enforced, never. If the umpire wasn't granting Cardinals hitters time there would be a complaint. But umpires never enforce this rule and Mikolas knows it.

That game reminded me of classic 90's Braves. Great pitching and a couple dingers in 2.5 hours. Easy peasy.

Love taking a victory lap on this one.

Still think AA is making a big mistake not locking him up but it takes two to tango so you never know what Max is thinking.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Reminds me of when Trevor Bauer on the Indians at the time complained that the Braves rose his pitch count up by taking too many and then fouling too many pitches off.

I only remember the one incidence last night with Travis hitting.

 

[thewupk]

Ozuna with an 867 OPS since June 13th. And it still seems like he's been unlucky as he has a 231 BABIP in that span. But dude has been hitting the **** out of the baseball.
