GDT 8/8/23: Braves @ Pirates

[UNCBlue012]

Let’s go!! Just blew my load!

 

[buck75]

He's going deep isn't he

Not tonight!

 

[bravesnumberone]

1-0 since the dismemberment of Acuña. This team knows how to get off the deck.

Good for Pillar. He was emotional in the interview. You can tell he doesn’t like being a bench guy.

I don't think it's that...He's been in that role for some time now. I think he realizes his lack of contribution is tightening that leash on him for being a roster casualty...that sh*t is stressful for those guys.

 

[jsebe10]

For Christ stake give Ronnie the day off tomorrow and run Pillar back out there.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Wait. So we can win a game with one of our big bats not in the lineup the whole game. Thought that wasn’t possible.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Thethe on the post game desk is just awful. Like he needs to be cheerios plus one on the DFA bus.

 

[Garmel]

We have one of the most lopsided pitching matchups in our favor tomorrow. Gotta take it.

We screwed.

We screwed.

7-2 loss.

 

[striker42]

Phils lose. 10.5 up.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Kimbrel blew save and Phillies lost. Big swing there. Phillies could have been 8.5 out without our rally and Kimbrel's blown save. Now back to 10.5.

I'm not sure why Pillar is getting a lot of flack. He didn't get ant ABs for a while because we didn't face any lefties. But Snit should have been defensive subbing him over Rosario anyways and giving him ABs and at least one start a week.

I can't continue to watch Rosario's lack of defense out there.

Dude has less range for what feels like anyone I've ever seen for us out there. Darnaud and Murphy could probably be better out there in LF.

The Phillies are not overtaking us in the division.

Not sure why people are still scoreboard watching the division race.

Correct, The Braves are 31 games over .500. The Phillies are 10.

It’s mind boggling.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah I’m fine with Pillar getting the bulk of the playing time out there. I’ll take his defense over Eddie, and I’m sure Stevie Wonder is a better base runner than Eddie so Pillar has a leg up there.
