Game Thread - Taking it in Stride

Rosario is the backup infielder. They can’t burn him

This is an issue. We need a backup IF

Mets losing 3-0 in the 7th. It could be a very good day for Atlanta.

This was also a huge win with AJSS facing Nola tomorrow.

Hopefully the issue with Murphy will be resolved soon. Either needs to play or go to the IL. Dump the 3rd catcher and bring back an IF.

Always good to beat the Phils at the Bank. Good W.

 

[NYCBrave]

Remember how terrible we all felt after that horrible loss to the Tigers last Monday? Braves respond with a 7 game winning streak

Charlie will be back tomorrow I believe.
Once Murphy is cleared to play -
That’s what I read somewhere on the internet anyway

Strider on the mound

Lost in all the excitement —another developmental star has emerged in our organization!!
MAD DOG is undefeated in intra-divisional rivalry road games….. and sports a cool 1.000 winning percentage. This is HUGE while our ace Slippy continues to work his way out of his slump…..

Can we talk about the fact that Eddie Rosario and Albies are now both in the top 25 NL OPS leaders. Man, it's fun to see hot Rosario again.

I would love to sweep this series and bury the Faillies down with the Muts.

With Harris now over .700 OPS, the Braves have 11 guys who are over .700.

 

[Super]

He’s been good since joining the Phillies.

Not really. xwOBA is under .300. He was insanely hot/lucky to start the year but has been a negative player since the first month of the season.

And he looks like a nasty greasy slob.

So, like a Phillies player ?

Sounds like we should know by Thursday on Murphy if he's ready or not.

It's also fortuitous, as Ozuna hasn't quite looked the same since getting drilled on his wrist last week. That could be something that lingers for awhile, so having Rosario as a quality contributor helps off-set that a bit.

Also, the crazy thing about Albies, is that he's actually doing all this with the lowest BABIP of his career. That suggests we could see an even better Albies the rest of the season if his luck on balls in play flips the other way.

How long til Hilliard gets defensive sub duties over Rosario? This is getting ridiculous. Even when Duval wasn't hitting he still got the D sub treatment.

Agreed - but as posted above, we couldn’t take Rosario out- we had no choice (not that we have taken him out anyway)….

The sooner Ozuna gets right, the better !
(If our friend from Minnesota is correct, then Rosario is gonna fall off of a cliff any minute)
