GDT 10/12/23: Braves @ Phillies - NLDS Game 4 Striders Revenge

[CyYoung31]

Snitker playing checkers Thompson playing chess

Pretty generous to call what Snitker does “playing checkers”. More like tic-tac-toe on the back wall of a truck stop stall.

 

[zitothebrave]

I want Olson to go yabbo so bad.

 

[striker42]

Acuna is putting good swings on the ball. Unlike Harper he hasn't sold his soul to Satan.

 

[chop2chip]

I absolutely love Olson. So much respect for how he handled the Freddie situation.

This is a “show me” moment

 

[msstate7]

It's not worth dealing with fairweathers. Like I get the frustration, but he's starting to get the barrel to the ball.

Acuna has 8 balls in play in Philly, and all 8 are on the ground

 

[Enscheff]

Pretty weak to walk that back so quickly. If the logic was sound in game 1, then it’s sound in game 2.

Now Thomson can bring in Alvarado to neutralize Olson with no penalty.

Yup, all the whining about the new lineup causing guys to not hit reeks of dinosaur.

Sorta like FF taking hader deep in 2021. Yeah, Matt ain't FF

 

[The Tariff King]

It's so dumb that Snit has nobody warming up and is basically resting on the shoulders of Strider. Our bullpen is FULLY rested. This is win or go home. All hands on deck.

You act like he’s doing it on purpose.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Not taking advantage when they make a mistake pitch. They're killing all of ours.

 

[Frek21]

Must be nice to have a manager that understands game situations.

Yeah but when the pen is just as shaky… I mean?

Haha! A day late and a dollar short.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Olson has “just missed” way too many times this postseason. Everything that could have gone bad, has gone bad.

 

[striker42]

Somewhere, Manfred is laughing in glee that is moronic idea for the post season is screwing the Braves so hard.

 

[msstate7]

You act like he’s doing it on purpose.

I'm acting like our star is letting us down big time

 

[msstate7]

Acuna is putting good swings on the ball. Unlike Harper he hasn't sold his soul to Satan.

Harper is lifting. Acuna is back to 2022 Acuna

 

[zbhargrove]

I will never understand wtf the offense did to change their approach…

 

[chop2chip]

Yup, all the whining about the new lineup causing guys to not hit reeks of dinosaur.

I defended Snit a lot the past few years. I genuinely thought he did a good job in 2021… even 2020. I was fine with the weird lineup stuff and bullpen management because I assumed AA would grab the steering wheel in the playoffs. He’s BRUTAL this series. One of the worst jobs I can remember. Simultaneously over and under managing. Doesn’t feel like there is a game plan.

 

[DirkPiggler]

The entire Braves offense looks like a monkey trying to f*ck a football.
