GDT 10/1/24 - Braves @ Padres - AJSS for WC Game 1

[Enscheff]

So they use a AAAA and let him cover 4 outs. What, exactly, was the point? They got no production and no rest for the BP.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Why burn up the bullpen in game one?

 

[msstate7]

I’ll check the statcast tomorrow, but the eye test tells me that FA at 94 is about as straight as they come.

Who knows on his other pitches, but maybe they're good. When SS first came up, our catchers kept getting him killed by calling his bad fastball

 

[AJonesATL]

Wtf!!! LMAO - now we bring in the bullpen? That is even worse. Why not just start with pro's that are really good. This was embarrassing front office effort

It's stupid. Our only path was games 2 and 3, so don't wear our guys before then

 

[Enscheff]

Snit has to understand chasing this game is foolish. He should have let AJ cover more outs.

 

[CyYoung31]

This is a mockery of a postseason game. I know weather screwed us over with a side of injuries - but game one of a three game series is so critical, I just can't comprehend how we felt this was better than just going with the bullpen

Yep, pretty dumb. Either punt this game or make it a bullpen game. No sense in using up relievers now on a lost cause.

Exactly. Braves bumbling another postseason series with subpar decision making.

Another stupid move by the GM that's above reproach

 

[bravesnumberone]

Maybe we need to go back to National League rules so someone will sit with Snit in the dugout for these games again.

Unless he feels the bats can get to king...which would be unbelievably retarded if he thinks that.

 

[Enscheff]

Arcia Harris and Albies due up.

Over:under this inning is 10.5 pitches.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Why is Arcia bailing there? WTF.

 

[msstate7]

Exactly. Braves bumbling another postseason series with subpar decision making.

AJSS was AA. The plan should be use him and/or elder for at least 5-6 innings unless we drop 4-5 runs

 

[AJonesATL]

Another stupid move by the GM that's above reproach

While I like AA, this has become a pattern of really shocking postseason management involving the front office that's given away critical games. We did the same thing in the WS - not once but twice! We decided to start minor leaguers with zero experience in those games vs. just going straight to proven MLB players and both times it cost us. It's become a trend with zero track record of success. This is like multiple times we've decided to go with minor leaguers over major leaguers in playoff games.

He really likes to out smart himself.

 

[msstate7]

That may have been his best AB in a month trying to shoot it to rf

 

[Enscheff]

All Albies can do is pull the ball down the line.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Ozzie looks terrible. He is pulling off everything.

 

[USMA76]

Unless he feels the bats can get to king...which would be Snit if he thinks that. (FIFY)
