High breaking balls get hit a loooong way Max

Past couple of at bats for Albies his timing is noticeably better. Leg kick is syncing up and he’s getting that foot down to launch his swing. Results in better sequence and barrel path.

What the announcers didn’t pick up on was that Braun was pissed at the first base coach for offering no assistance. He became a spectator and failed in what a base coach’s primary purpose is. Braun complained to everyone who would listen about the lack of direction.

LOL No problem predicting the first 4 games but game 5 is “hard to predict “. Just made me chuckle :)

I actually disagree with the call. Disregard what Chip said, it’s not turning left or right or fair or foul territory. It’s making an effort towards 2nd base. I didn’t think he made an effort towards 2nd base at all.

My desire is for Ozzie to have more awareness and willingness to make an adjustment. I know it's got to be frustrating for him to continuously get himself out by swinging at pitches near the zone that he has little chance to do any damage with. I'm hoping....seriously hoping that Ozzie isn't of...

One amazing sign that you see with Acuna is how he intentionally goes to opposite field if he makes several routine outs or starts grounding out to left side of the infield. This is the way hitters get back into sequence and stay "inside" the ball. Acuna does this exceptionally well and shows...

Why do we steal there? If you've come up playing or coaching little league through high school you know that a 1st and 3rd situation is a great time to steal. Throwing down to 2nd base often results in free runs, so many catchers won't even make the throw (risk/reward). Catchers are better in...

We've played over our heads for most of the season. This team is closer to mediocre than a playoff contender.

We are such a flawed team. It's amazing we are leading a division. Bench/Bullpen take turns letting everyone know they are not ready for primetime.

Winkler getting roughed up but wow! He is not happy with Duvall. Saw him look out toward right field as he walked off the field muttering to himself.

If the Braves make the post season I'm hoping Adam Duvall is not on the roster.

I'm not sure that all of Freddie's problems are fatigue problems, though days off can help with that mental fatigue for sure. Mechanics-wise, Freeman is struggling because he's having sequence issues in terms of his rotation. Upper body is too quick, making him appear to lunge and lose power...

Yeah, Newk is hanging by a thread each inning. Terrible command and no idea what to expect. It helped him get out of the inning because he threw just enough strikes but the hitters couldn't get a read on him either lol. Super short leash from here on out. Don't let him lose this game. It...

It's impossible to tell if Ozzie's mechanics are a mess because he swings at so many crap pitches. Is he that really stubborn? Pitchers have just stopped giving him any fastballs near his hot zone. Off speed early that he can reach and he gets himself out. He needs Chipper in his ear about...

Albies' issue isn't that he tries to hit bombs on every pitch. It's that he has absolutely no plan at the plate. He's just swinging. That's why he will chase a first pitch offspead pitch out of the zone routinely. I'm sure he will improve this weakness with maturity, but it's frustrating to...

Ender will be our Luis Polonia Duvall = Mike Devereux?

Albies and Acuna really struggle with pitch selection. It's evident that they have very little plan other than to hit everything they can reach. Albies just hasnt' been missing his pitch as much as Acuna has lately. Id rather have Culberson in left at the moment to tell the truth, but with...

I keep seeing Braxton Davidson hitting homeruns and think, this dude is finally figuring some things out. Then I also see that he has 121 Ks (42%) and his hitting under .175 so yeah.......

If you've ever been a hitter at any advanced level or coached hitters, you'll know that it isn't that simple. It has zero to do with being selfish. He's not trying to yank every pitch into the right field seats, though it appears so sometimes. It's timing. His timing has been off and he's just...
