GDT 4/15: Time to turn it around

Every time I see a pitcher with a pause in his motion when the ball is extended behind him, I wonder if batters can see the grip and know what's coming.

I always laugh at people who do things that are so contrarian... like Heyward bouncing up and down at the plate or Nate Jones delivery. They are always at a disadvantage.
 
The offense will pick-up and I still have confidence in our rotation in the longer-term. That said, hard to ignore some serious concerns that are the difference in these close games...

6-9 is a big problem right now and killing us - Swanson should pick-it up but overall this is not a particularly deep line-up
Pen is clearly 1-2 short and clearly needs another righty.
While our pinch hitting has been surprisingly good, we are still seeing the effects of a weak bench in our daily line-up. Feels like most of our teams in the past have benefitted from at least 1 if not 2 true utility sparks that can play all over the field and be a true 10th man starter. Simply don't have that this year, and we've got no offense from back-up catcher

Overall we've got a very solid ~20 man roster, but really feels like the depth on this team does not match a typical braves playoff team.

Letting Duvall go has single handedly arguably cost us two games. That alone would be worth the price! Getting rid of him knowing center field and 3rd base were going to be big potential gaps was not a good decision.
 
of course Chip doesn't understand the point of not having names on the jersey and the jackie robinson day of everyone wearing 42
