4/25 reds game 3

[Braves1976]

It's great to see Snit not doing Snit things as much this year

Huh? His bullpen usage has been bad again. Pretty much all the wrong moves yet we've still been a .500 team thanks to talent and that great comeback in Cleveland. If we make the playoffs this year we'll remember that game as key in our quest to do so.

That said, this move has AA written all over it and snit is likely going along with the suggestion due to plans to give Albies an off day.

Looks to me like we may get to start the game but who knows if it will get finished

 

[Hulavol]

Has Markakis ever led off before ? (I know not with us)

 

[zbhargrove]

Pretty sure he has led off for us a couple years ago

 

[salmagundy]

2016 Markakis hit lead off 102 times, had 25 hits, 21 Ks, 0 BBs, 5 Dbls, 0 HRs/Trips. No lead ABs in '17 or '18.

If we lose im banning both mstate and enscheff for a week.

You didn’t ban me when I proved to be the slump buster in glorious fashion, and then didn’t make a GDT after.

 

[CyYoung31]

Of course, we also murdered the Indians the next day, so.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Whether these moves are Snit's ideas or not, the important thing is the correct moves are being made for the most part.

The telling sign will be where Albies bats after his day of rest.

Hopefully 5th or 6th. I think our optimal lineup would look something like:

Nick
Donaldson
Freddie
Acuna
Ozzie
Dansby
Flowers/Mac
Pitcher
Inciarte

I would like to see us start hitting the pitcher 8th. It probably won't amount to much, but it would probably add an extra run every 15 to 20 games for us. I'm all for getting every edge we possibly can.

Not a good lead off AB by Markakis, pops out on 3-0 pitch

Thought it was 3-1

Thought it was 3-1

You're right. I missed the strike some how.

I think you are thinking of Nick Markakis. This is Neck Markakis.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Did someone not tell the Reds that JT is supposed to throw 25 pitches in the first. Bad baseball

Um. Neck Markickass.

I answered the question asked. I don't go by crummy nicknames. I respect the players and their given names.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Our early season RISP fails are not ideal.

Sense of humor still as ripe as ever, I see.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Dansby has murdered the ball this series. Did someone say Monster!!!

 

[Julio3000]

I like the new Dansby.
