GDT 10/12/23: Braves @ Phillies - NLDS Game 4 Striders Revenge

[Ozzie Swanson]

Very lucky that wasn't hit out.

 

[Tapate50]

Entirely different rosters. Unless you think uniforms have magic, it makes no sense.

Powder blues are worth at least 2

 

[USMA76]

This team can’t handle the heat.

Isn't that sorta the definition of choking?

 

[UNCBlue012]

That is an unbelievably bad pitch from Strider. You cannot hang a middle-middle slider to Harper. He’s so lucky that wasn’t parked 20 rows deep

 

[msstate7]

If you want to criticize everyone go for it, they certainly deserve it. If you want to single out Acuna and basically criticize him for being a beast this year….ok?

See Harper? That's what real mvps do

 

[jsebe10]

Unreal he gets hittable pitches like that

 

[bravesnumberone]

Only a matter of time.

 

[CyYoung31]

Suarez doesn’t throw any heat, so this doesn’t really apply. They’re just playing tight for some reason.

I’m talking about pressure.

 

[jpack1]

Team knows it has to be perfect to beat Philly. And are playing like it.

 

[chop2chip]

Bohm a Brave or what?

 

[smootness]

See Harper? That's what real mvps do

Cool

Sorry Acuna’s not a real MVP.

Was Harper a real MVP when he posted a .522 OPS in the 2012 playoffs? Or a .752 in 2016? Or .725 in 2017? All years where his team lost their first series?

It’s almost like it’s an extreme small sample size.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Cool

Sorry Acuna’s not a real MVP.

He'll win it and deservedly so. Doesn't change the fact his team needs him right now and he's not coming through in the biggest of moments.

 

[msstate7]

He'll win it and deservedly so. Doesn't change the fact his team needs him right now and he's not coming through in the biggest of moments.

Exactly. Acuna is great, so I hold him to a great standard. The lights came on, but he still at home

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, he’s not been exceedingly good, but I’ll take it. Another scoreless inning for Strider.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

They seem to be on Strider's fastball at this point and he hasn't really had a good slider. Really hope that changes in the next few innings.

 

[msstate7]

The fact Stott can put up a better PA than any brave is a problem

 

[bravesnumberone]

This is not sustainable from Strider. Zero clean innings.

 

[zitothebrave]

That was a gutsy result. I think we're only getting 5 from Strider today. He's thrown a lot of pitches and isn't getting a ton of swing and misses.

 

[chop2chip]

Strider is a beast

 

[thewupk]

Minor miracle they haven't scored yet
