GDT 8/17/22: Braves vs Mutts - A Third Helping of Revenge

[jsebe10]

Maybe he was thinking get into scoring position for a game-tying hit before they go to Diaz.

Too risky…now what do you get for fckn up? 6 up with 6 Ks from their untouchable closer.

And why the Fck is Lee in here!?

 

[bravesnumberone]

I ask again, is Minter hurt?

 

[msstate7]

I thought we'd lose this game pretty badly, so if they burn their closer tonight to hold on, I'm ok with tonight's results

 

[CyYoung31]

I just honestly think that Lee sucks. I have nothing to back it up but my eyes and bias, but I think I’m right.

Y'all keep talking about burning the closer when Showalter has shown the willingness to throw him back-to-back days with multiple innings and that Diaz is perfectly fine with it.

I don’t care who you are, throwing 4 innings in 2 days is hard on you and he won’t be in top shape tomorrow if he had to go 2 days in a row.

 

[jsebe10]

Here comes an infield bleeder to score a run

 

[Hudson2]

Go out of it. Let’s score off Diaz here stick the dagger in em

 

[jsebe10]

Man I feel bad for Swanson, Riley, and Olson…this dude coming in on two days rest..this won’t even be fair.

Agreed all this new age protect the pitchers BS is out the window with an old-school guy like Buck with the division on the line.

I know it's way, way easier said than done, but he has given up a run before. The Braves are going to have to find a way to make it happen.

 

[Hudson2]

Just like Scherzer we can score off of Diaz to he’s not unhittable.

Make that 3 days rest.

 

[bravesnumberone]

He is if our guys go up there with the mindset that they're going to try to hit a home run every swing.

He's only had 1 6 out save all year, and he didn't pitch the next day. What are you basing this claim on?

 

[bravesnumberone]

This is also another case of Buck correctly employing Diaz against the heart of the order.

 

[Hudson2]

Made Swanson look stupid. Didn’t even throw a strike

 

[Hudson2]

Only three 7 pitches in 2 batters

 

[bravesnumberone]

Made Swanson look stupid. Didn’t even throw a strike

Because any semblance of an approach goes out the window against their top pitchers. It's ****ing embarrassing.

 

[USMA76]

So Diaz throws sliders in the 8th and fastballs in the ninth?

So much for Diaz slipping...
