We get what we deserve when we sit one of our hottest hitters in favor of a good hitter, but no where near the ceiling of the hot one

Please don’t say Nozuna would have saved us. Until Olson nr Riley figure it out. If they do. Then we will live and die by acuna and Murphy.

I don't know if he was gonna keep it up, but I don't understand sitting him while he's hot. Braves have scored 2 runs in 18 innings since it happened, and they've looked horrible

meh, the Braves are a better team even with the injuries. I’d be shocked if they don’t grab at least one. Tonight was pretty unlucky. They pepper Bassitt and the Jays’ defense played great. We all just love complaining lol

We're due a crap stretch, and I think it's here. Elder is due regression and we will be scratching a game together Sunday. I'd be happy taking 1 game this weekend. Just don't let the east catch up during our crap stretch
 
And the best part is the Mets are winning too.

All because we can’t seem to red light our hitters when the opposing pitcher is trying to walk in runs with two outs.

I ask this every time it happens and no one seems to have an explanation- and don’t try to say “well, he coulda driven in a few of them with a hit. “. Acuna was up next - and he actually got a hit. And all we needed was one run at the time. That woulda made it 3-1 us at that point, and who knows what woulda’ happened next.

Do I sound pissed ? Because I am.
It’s like the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I cannot fathom why that is done. And even if they tell you that you can swing - why would you? What is Arcia thinking ? Other than “I better pop out or he’s gonna hit me with the next pitch” dumb dumb dumb
 
The biggest problem is Riley. In the end, our pitchers have by and large kept us in games and guys have hit but Riley is killing rallies every single night and Snit is keeping him in one of the primary RBI spots. I’m not even going to begin to get into the issues with his game right now but he needs to be dropped immediately because this is beyond brutal. He’s also robbing the Braves blind because this **** literally started the day he signed his contract.

I'm not sure snit ever gives a red light to anyone. Not sure how I feel about that. I don't want to hurt confidence in guys by giving the red light, but I also don't want them swinging at crap when they should take
