GDT 4/26/25: Braves vs Diamondbacks - Keep It Going Holmes

[zbhargrove]

Huge win. A series win in AZ is massive. Let’s pull the sweep tomorrow and then sweep the lowly Rockies.

Are the Braves actually playing with some nuts?

Yes they are.

 

[Hulavol]

We gave up four homeruns to one guy.

And still won.

Just like what happened to the Braves when Bob Horner hit four against the Expos

The best thing is they are actually fun to watch again. Verdugo/white/allen aren’t stars but they are so much more enjoyable to watch than kelshit/Asscia and dela crap.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Clinched a series win on the road against a good team. I approve

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

This makes me laugh and I don’t drink

Yep. I remember that. Just looked up the dude who beat us - it was Mitch Webster who went 5 for six.
Ken Oberkfell also had five hits, and Dale Murphy went 0-5.

Tonight was the third time in baseball history that a team has lost when a player has hit four in one game. Beyond unlikely.

You are exactly right...

It's the quality ABs that draw me in...now, it may not last but they are battling and providing some great ABs...I think Arcia has played his last game as a starter.

Olson never shows emotion so when he popped up like he did I knew he was out.

 

[Hudson2]

Allen has been an excellent pickup. Arcia should only start to give him a breather the rest of the way.

I wasn’t able to watch the game tonight, but reading the game thread after I know the outcome of a comeback win is a real pleasure

Normally, I’d agree with you, but with our offense of late, being down three doesn’t seem very daunting

Good call.

Braves getting it going. Hopefully Kimbrel has something left in the tank, and Acuna start rehab this week

Iggy 8.33 FIP, -0.7 fWAR

We have a problem

Thank goodness Raisel's contract expires in November.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Raisel's velocity is fine and the movement on his pitches is still good. He just looks slightly off, to be honest. I'm not really too concerned on April 27.
