GDT 4/1/23: Braves @ Gnats - First Striderday of the Season

[msstate7]

I'm confused on why the braves would trade ozuna in a season that he was having a good year. This hypothetical makes no sense to me

Yeah, that's an offseason move. Not one you do in the middle of the season.

What did he say, exactly? I am blacked out :/

"The bases 3 inches bigger, much to the ire of men everywhere"

*awkward silence between pitches, likely muted laughter*

"Is something wrong Jeff? I said something I thought you might react to, but you just let it slide right in there"

I implied off-season by saying if he had a good year.

Much better than “fisted” or, “he filled the hole beautifully”.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

maybe pull Strider here with the lead and it being so early in the season.

Ok, that makes sense

Cys mom could tell from experience.

Not sure why you wouldn’t PH for Rosario there. You’ll probably be subbing him soon for defense anyway.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

BTW, glad to see Rosario is in mid-season form with an 0-3 day

 

[bravesfanMatt]

no reason to let Sorryio hit there. he is terrible and pilar is a better fielder.. just let him take over from here. nothing else, you could let Hilliard bat when there is another RHP in.

 

[Heyward]

Strider laboring a little, get someone up.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

why are we leaving Strider in there at 96/97 this early in the year. He is at 85+ pitches.

 

[Heyward]

99 up and away, yeah he's good lol.

Probably his last inning or should be anyway.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I would hope so.. I know he is still throwing gas.. but just not a fan of having a starter throw 100 pitches this early..

 

[Heyward]

Should be it for Strider, great outing. Nasty pitch to end it.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Now, I really hope he can develop that change.. He will be death with a viable change like that.

 

[mfree80]

Change was effective today

 

[Heyward]

Damn, Ronnie smoked that. Great catch.
