GDT 3/29/26: Braves vs. Royals - Holmes to Flush the Royals

[CyYoung31]

I fully expected lugo to demolish us, so I'm not gonna freak out today. Just keep winning series

We’ve hit some balls hard at least.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I know we have no choice but Holmes should be the long man out of the pen when Strider and the rest get healthy.

Yeah, but there’s a real chance he’s better than Strider at this point.

 

[Garmel]

Drake's only weakness is that he needs to increase his launch angle.

Too many grounders in his game.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Holmes is done at this point. Pull him, WW.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

He just gets pinged and pecked to death.

 

[Enscheff]

Yeah, but there’s a real chance he’s better than Strider at this point.

I think I’d take Holmes over strider unless 98+ comes back. Strider at 95 is barely an MLB SP.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

If the Braves lose, they lose today. They have a former All Star on the bump tomorrow, so no worries.

 

[CyYoung31]

Should be Holmes last inning.

 

[Garmel]

Holmes with no luck today.

xBA for KC is .173

They cant hit Lugo throwing it down the middle of the plate. We just need to keep it close so they bring in their closer. Royals manager said he is gonna keep running him out there despite his velocity not being ramped up.

The mashing days for this offense are behind them

 

[Enscheff]

Oof, that’s 3

 

[WaitingFor2017]

3 near home runs today. Gotta pull it today.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Dang. Rotten luck

 

[CyYoung31]

They giving us the nerf balls again?

 

[CyYoung31]

This would be a key spot to PH for Mateo.

 

[msstate7]

No walk, Mateo:: Acuna on deck

 

[msstate7]

Next inning will be top of our lineup seeing lugo 3rd time, so 2 K and GB is the safe bet

 

[VirginiaBrave]

If Dom Smith wore 7 he would remind you of Dwight Smith.
