[The Tariff King]

Only if you let your Wood Harang out.

Oh Hale no.

I wonder if clubhouse makes fun of Alex too and if he knows people use his name as a pun.

and Beato.

Beato

The implications are many.

 

[The Tariff King]

Unless he skipped going to school...

So about that Braves pitching staff? They've given up just 5 runs in 4 games.

They said on the radio broadcast that no Braves team had done that in the first 4 games of the season.

We better start scoring some freakin runs and blowing teams out otherwise Kimbrel and Carpenter will be toast the middle of May with Fredi's bullpen management

Braves have so much damn pitching depth. There is even more waiting at AAA.

Was the game in Colorado? If so I wouldn't make much of such a line score. That is a tough ballpark to pitch.

Who are they supposed to use with a lead?

The MR guys?

 

[Runnin]

What pitch is that grip for?

 

[zitothebrave]

Fun with Kimbrel stats this year.

3 IP, 6Ks, no baserunners allowed.

He's rocking a -0.88 FIP right now.

I know it's the tiniest of samples but it's so freaking amazing even in a small sample. Kimbrel is a god amongst mortals.

 

[zitothebrave]

What pitch is that grip for?

Knuckle curve.

 

[Krovahn]

Normally, I would agree; however, this is a continuation of the stats he was putting up in spring training, as well as August and September of last year. In this case, I think it is less that it was in Colorado and more that it is Delgado has to work on some more things before he can start to live up to his potential.

The MR guys?

I think he's referring to scoring enough runs to get a large enough lead where you don't have use those guys every night.

How did you not feel the ban hammer from over there like the rest of us?

They had a stat that they showed during the game about it. That 4 times the Braves had given up just 4 runs over the course of the first 4 games of the season. Something along those lines. I'll have to go back and watch the game again and see exactly what the stat was that they posted.
