[Hulavol]

The good news:

Chris Sale
LHP
1-0, 0.00 ERA, 6 SO

WTF was Acuña doing in that AB? Taking pointers from Albies.

Absolutely unacceptable for him. He should be embarrassed.

Luckily, he probably is. In fact, there’s no way he’s not.

...

No idea who this guy is, but he nailed it.

Away with Jose

Leaving nine players on base without facing a good pitcher is absolutely wild.

We've gotten owned by some TERRIBLE starting pitchers so far. Tonight was another. No excuse. So many of our guys go up to the plate without anything resembling a plan. Just stand and hack.

Wacha, Lugo, and Civale are all guys the Braves could have had over the last couple of years and instead we’ve got Jose Suarez starting.

I would too. Just wanted to post this bc it seems to be all that matters for pitchers these days.

Exact opposite of Elder. Quality stuff, he just can't locate it.

Braves had runners on 1B and 2B with 1 or 0 outs in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th last night - and scored 1 run. The team has been able to hit and get on base pretty regularly so far, but our "big boppers" are killing us. They're not getting any big hits.

This isn't new: they couldn't get big hits last year either. This team is chock full of chokers

This isn’t wrong.

Time to sacrifice that live chicken instead of the usual KFC

Is there any reason to believe the guy making those charts has any idea what he is talking about? I scrolled down to the next post as he gave Ohtani a similar “B-/D+/D” grade for his sIx shutout innings.

hmm maybe the Braves should let that fat fucker take a few swings at the plate.. since he is as good of a pitcher as Show-Hey, then maybe he can be just as good of a hitter... or at least better than the shit the Braves are rolling out there.

Well, generally, Elder can’t locate his stuff either so I’m not sure who I’d rather have.

Gotta have productive outs also in these situations

Almost no moving of the runners or the like.

Lotta short pops
