Baseball Game Thread for Wednesday 26 of July

Sharpie line up card with quadzilla, the Braves last good starter on the bump.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Blacked out on MLB.TV tonight to watch an inferior broadcast on ESPN.

Is this ESPN's way of getting an extra game since they lost a Sunday Night Baseball broadcast right before the All Star break for the MLB Draft?

Ronnie out on 108.6 MPH liner -- Boston likely gets a bleeder hit that's 80 MPH or less in the 1st inning.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ronnie has been crushing so many pitches with no luck lately. Can’t wait to be blooped to death

 

[UNCBlue012]

Yikes. Both Ozzie and Matt chased really bad cutters out of the zone.

 

[msstate7]

We can't hit this guy.

 

[UNCBlue012]

We can't hit this guy.

he’s a pretty damn good pitcher. But whiffing at those cutters is bad… they were flat out badly thrown

 

[jsebe10]

If strider keeps that fastball down there he's not getting hit tonight

 

[CyYoung31]

Braves really gonna let two scrub pitchers clown them on back to back nights?

 

[striker42]

Rosario needs to no longer be a Brave in the next few days.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

He literally swung at 6 balls.

Absolutely they are.

Braves will win the east, but it's appearing more and more their best baseball is behind them

I legitimately question Snit when it comes to Rosario. I get he’s capable of getting hot at any moment, but he shouldn’t be starting every single night over Pillar. There needs to be a healthy platoon. Rosario has killed rally after rally recently

I'm beginning to think Snitker is nostalgic about the tear Rosario went on in 2021 and can't accept that Rosario is now a very, very bad player.

I’d DH TDA and run Ozuna out in LF.

This team is having some putrid ABs right now.

This team is having some putrid ABs right now.

unfortunately, it’s all mental. They’re feeding off each other. Most of these pitchers are actually good enough to dominate this lineup. The only thing stopping them is themselves.

I get the feeling everyone is pressing. This pitcher can't find the zone with two hands and a flashlight but we keep swinging at terrible pitches and bailing him out. It's classic pressing to try to force something to happen.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

With the short LF here, why not play Ozuna/Pillar and let both catchers catch one game/DH the other?
