9/7 GDT: A's game 2

[Garmel]

I wish someone would destroy that stupid drum.

This is why I hate those west coast trips. The Braves have never played well in these games my whole life it seems

I’ve also noticed that every A’s HR has been on an ugly ass off balance swing that just clears the wall. Hopefully those start going our way too.

36 pitches in the first inning there for Strider...that...is not ideal.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Baseball is weird. Wright and Strider have been complete flops this series, to this point.

 

[jsebe10]

We’re going to let this dude pound 92 right past us today aren’t wev

 

[steveAKAslick]

Wright seemed to be having a hard time with the grip too... I noticed Strider fell off the mound once at least like Wright was doing also.

That’s what I’m thinking…they are playing in a literal trash can

Yes, but somehow the Oakland grounds crew is secretly rigging the mound and baseballs between innings...

Thought we got out of this day game malaise crap

 

[CrazyTrain]

Ronald smoked that one... sucks. The route looked terrible at face value, but the ball seemed to have been corkscrewing away from him.

 

[jpx7]

Strider’s velocity seems to have ticked back up.

 

[msstate7]

Braves kill lhp and fastballs.
This guy is a lhp pouting fastballs.

 

[zbhargrove]

I'm just going off recent memory here which is usually pretty bad... but it seems like we have struggled against lefties more than usual lately (excluding last night).

 

[CrazyTrain]

We still worried about Spencer or nah

 

[thethe]

Angry Strider is the best Strider

Oppo taco from Grissom.

just.stop.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

That escalated quickly.

 

[msstate7]

Oppo taco from Grissom.

Only 100.9 mph though. I don't even want hits if they don't light up statcast
