7/18 GDT: DBacks at Braves

[thewupk]

Get him out of here

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Definitely not ideal for Elder to get roasted in his last start before the break and first start after

 

[UNCBlue012]

Bryce not showing up prepared is not what I expected

Just regression my guy

 

[jsebe10]

Man I hate this for Bryce. He's just throwing at this point.

 

[Hudson2]

Elder has turned back into a pumpkin. I’ve said for the past 2 months we would need another starter at the deadline. If Giolito is available we need to be after him.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Just regression my guy

he’s going to regress but this is command. It’s way off tonight.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The Braves defense is horrible. RaSorrio must be doing infield clinics.

 

[UNCBlue012]

And more bad luck.

 

[Garmel]

Defense killing us.

 

[thewupk]

That's part of regression my guy. Elder didn't suddenly develop Maddux like command

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Well we know the Braves won’t score till the 8th so this is pretty much done.

 

[CyYoung31]

Why the **** is he still out there?

This. Teams also have more data on him. More video. They are t chasing the sinker in the dirt anymore.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Why the **** is he still out there?

Because the Braves have a ****ty bullpen.

 

[striker42]

This is what we see with regression. Elder has been crazy lucky and tonight he's been insanely unlucky. He's not pitched great but he's also had some of the worst luck you'll ever see.

Also, someone needs to yank a knot in this teams neck. So many dumb, lackadaisical mistakes on defense lately.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I’m not worried about a team 30 (may be 29 soon LOL) games over .500. Bumps happen.

 

[striker42]

Arizona should have 2, maybe 3 runs at this point max.

 

[Garmel]

Regression but it seems like many of his sinkers and sliders are rather flat as well.

 

[thewupk]

Arizona should have 2, maybe 3 runs at this point max.

What? He got smoked in the 2nd inning.
