GDT 10/31/21: Braves vs Astros - World Series Game 5

[MadduxFanII]

I worry that "walking Martin Maldonado" is going to join "giving up a home run to Jim Leyritz" and "giving up a home run to Pat Borders" and "giving up a home run to Juan Uribe" and "Eric Gregg" in the pantheon of tragic Braves postseason moments.

 

[CrazyTrain]

He swung

 

[jsebe10]

Throw a strike Martin you fckn sorry bastard

 

[bravesnumberone]

Again. This is on twit. He has made a ton of idiot decisions tonight.

Twit didn’t walk a ****ing .100 hitter

Again. This is on twit. He has made a ton of idiot decisions tonight.

He’s been pretty good in the World Series, but this was a master class in pulling the wrong levers.

 

[buck75]

This is why I was hoping Fried would pitch at least five innings tonight. No guarantees either way. Still hope the Braves beat these guys by about five runs.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Great pitch, Martin. Let’s get some more runs.

 

[mfree80]

Gotta put your pitchers in a position to succeed, not set them up to fail.

 

[jsebe10]

Meat of our order to face “poopy face” Maton.

 

[chop2chip]

I hope he gets out of this game, but this should be Luke in the game. Super high leverage moment.

Never mind.. good work Martin

 

[KOdawg1]

Bats have to respond

 

[MadduxFanII]

When the pitcher is so much taller than the hitter, the pitching team should have the option of deciding the at-bat on a quick game of one-on-one.

Nothing worth it in life is easy.

Let’s come back and take this!

You can maybe argue walking Bregman since he hasn’t done much but Maldonado is **** and AJ has been great. He picked the absolute worst time to **** up. That’s all.

 

[Enscheff]

Minter didn’t pitch well, but it should be noted Snit once again punted a PA for 2 outs.

The Braves can’t afford to keep making those exchanges of value.

 

[Garmel]

Martin showed the most movement on his pitches that I've seen since the substance ban.

Absolutely right…Minter put himself in that position.

 

[USMA76]

Twit didn’t walk a ****ing .100 hitter

Or give up a two out RBI to a guy hitting a buck ninety-nine.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freddie crushed that and it just died. Jeez.

 

[DirkPiggler]

Martin showed the most movement on his pitches that I've seen since the substance ban.

At this point take the chance on him getting caught. They won’t take away the outs.
