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

[Enscheff]

IF (capitalized) we lose this series, how much blame--if any--would you put on the front office for its relative flaccidity at the trade deadline?

I still think AA needed a SP, but no impact arms were traded, so it’s hard to blame him for not getting something done. It’s not like he was outbid on a few true impact arms…it’s quite likely there were no impact arms to be had.

Do I think a properly handled Lorenzen would be a better option than Elder? Definitely, and I said as much at the deadline, so I still would have liked to see him in Atlanta after seeing his acquisition cost.

Do I think EdRod is a massive improvement over Elder? Definitely, but we can’t know if he was ever an option, or if the Braves were also on his list.

According to Philly local radio they're going to play the video of Strider talking about not wanting fans in the stands before he takes the mound tonight. Was a soft city. Searching desperately for fake juice.

Typical Philly

Typical Philly

Yes it is, but at least they make the most of it.
The comments he made sounded sarcastic, but the Braves could maybe, use some motivation themselves.

Exactly. Right now our team is a bunch of shoulder shruggers.

Our team is pressing. It's not that they don't care. They want to win as much as anyone, they started out cold and that has them under pressure. Guys are trying to win the series every AB instead of playing loose. You do that and you lose for sure.

The braves stopped scoring in the 1st inning a few weeks ago, and they haven't been the same since. I'd almost bet that if the braves don't score in the 1st that the season is over

There’s a word for that.

He was obviously joking. Philly is such an easy city to hate.

Lets hang 3 on them to start the game. Take some stress off Strider.

Someone in the clubhouse needs to crack a good joke or something to loosen guys up. Perhaps ozuna should re-enact his "ozuna from the braves" scene

Well the dumb part is that he is aside from joking using it as a means to have fans act like they're doing him a disservice by being loud against him only for him to silence them.

Acuna walk
Ozzie double 1-0 braves

 

[CyYoung31]

Brian Anderson just said “elimination day”.

 

[Hulavol]

LFG!!!

 

[msstate7]

Come on braves... get that swagger back

 

[Hudson2]

Ranger Suarez is complete a$$. We better carve this dude up.

 

[Hudson2]

1st pitch is already a ball being called a strike.

 

[CyYoung31]

Good luck scoring with that strike zone.

 

[msstate7]

Just can't hit

 

[msstate7]

Good luck scoring with that strike zone.

It'll tighten up once Philly gets the lead
