GDT 8/24/22: Braves @ Pirates - Afternoon Sweeping

[thewupk]

Yo… 122.4 mph by Cruz there. Single lol

Cruz has all the raw tools to be an elite player. Curious how he will develop.

I’m very much so enjoying this game

Up 5-0, Acuna runs through the stop sign at 3B to slide headfirst into home for that ever important 6th run.

Can you think of a lower baseball IQ?

Pete Alonso?

 

[Hulavol]

Solid work here gentlemen.

It’s probably easier on his knees to slide than to throw on the breaks running full speed. Wash threw up that stop sign super late.
But to your point, he’s got a cinder block for a brain.

The squeaking sound you hear is the slowly tightening collective balloon knot of the denizens of the 7 line…..

He didn't pop right up afterwards either.

Do you consider pulling wright after 5 innings? Give 'em a little break that way

 

[UNCBlue012]

I know the Pirates are ass but Cyle is truly such a treat to watch

let him go for the Maddux. I am hoping for the six man rotation soon to give everyone some rest.

 

[thewupk]

Pirates just giving up....6 pitches...lmao

 

[thewupk]

Braves entered the day +1 in run differential over the Mets. Clearly, that's going up today. Braves have played at a 117 win pace since their big win streak started. This team is damn good.

Banuelos’ overall arsenal sucks but the curveball is still fun to watch

 

[50PoundHead]

I can remember how many folks--many of whom did not support the Coppy rebuild--were kind of excited when the Braves got Banuelos from the Yankees for Chasen Shreve and David Carpenter. One has to give credit to Banuelos for staying at it through the injuries.

wasn't even paying attention that was ManBan. We dreamed on him for about 4 years... good to see him finally get healthy.

 

[thewupk]

lmao 5 pitch inning. Pirates are a ****ing joke

 

[bravesfanMatt]

lmao 5 pitch inning. Pirates are a ****ing joke

6 pitches...

 

[thewupk]

6 pitches...

Yes...so much better. 12 pitches over the last 2 innings.

Wright DGAF anymore. He trust his stuff so much now. Amazing.

 

[AJonesATL]

Really just holding out hope Acuna can get his power stroke back.

Showing good signs hitting ball
hard and getting on base. But Acuna in proper form feels like hes going to go deep every ab
