GDT: 6/17 Rockies at Braves

[thewupk]

As an aside, do you guys think that our 98 team could have given the Yankees a bit more of a challenge?

This is of course assuming in this alternate universe we don't punt the first three games to the Padres

Yes. Our 98 team was the best team in franchise history imo.

That offense was wild. With todays game the Braves are on pace for 869 runs which is 2nd most in modern franchise history. 03 team scored 907 runs. Braves are on pace to allow about 80 fewer runs than the 03 team.

The 2003 team had some holes in the lineup but all the top guys in the lineup had close games to career years.

 

[USMA76]

Except when the bases are loaded.

Olson might disagree.

Man Acuna is in a big time slump. Only hitting .231/.344/.500 over his last 7 games with 2 SB and 2 HRs.

Time to move that bum down in the lineup.

 

[Heyward]

I'd call it a day for Elder since the pen basically had the last 2 games off. Much needed at that. Off day Monday too as msstate said as well.

 

[Heyward]

Olson might disagree.

Yeah yeah, usually we suck when the bases are loaded for some reason. That Toronto series still haunts.

I know this is sarcasm but it is actually crazy that an Acuna slump is Matt Olson’s batting line.

What's so "city" about a rehash of a 70's jersey?

It’s meant to have an urban feel. Hence, “The A”.

 

[CyYoung31]

Wtf ump?

 

[mfree80]

Ump bored?

 

[chop2chip]

Bard’s stat line… whoa

 

[CyYoung31]

It’s 10-1, Snitker…

 

[CyYoung31]

Jimenez still sucks.

 

[mossy]

Why not put Culberson in the game and get some regular some time off their feet.

 

[msstate7]

Empty the bench

 

[USMA76]

Yeah, we've all got some PTSD over that one.

 

[thewupk]

cant believe the bench didnt get any ABs today. damn

 

[msstate7]

cant believe the bench didnt get any ABs today. damn

If we can't use Culberson now, why is he on the team?

 

[thewupk]

If we can't use Culberson now, why is he on the team?

To earn that sweet MLB paycheck
