GDT 4/6/24: Braves vs D-Backs - Life after Strider

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, I'm drinking beer and making crap up bc he almost hit em and then did

How many Coors Lights? I picked up six bottles of the Founders Dirty Bastard, and now after the last two nights, I guess that's what I'm going to have to drink from now on.

 

[Heyward]

Kelenic is quite the number 9 hitter

He's been fantastic. Obviously wont keep it up to this extent but has been very good.

SSS caveats aside, he’s not striking out. That’s clearly what’s help him back in the past.

I actually only had one, and believe it or not, I opened it to start our 8th

I mean...you gotta pitch this to corporate. They'd probably want to put ****ing Shohei on the commercial, though.

Snitker fell asleep and choked on a pickle.

That's a injury we could celebrate.

Haha

Super small sample size but Kelenic has an xBA of .354 so he's legit on fire.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I'm still perplexed as to why Joc bunted.

Incredibly dumb play

 

[Hudson2]

I know Kelenic won’t keep up this pace but he’s not striking out and that was his biggest issue coming in.

 

[CyYoung31]

Great win, but not sure having to comeback every game is a reliable way to win. Although DBacks hit alot of bloopers in the 1st other than the leadoff HR by Marte.

It’s been two games. Our other wins have been blow outs.

 

[bravesnumberone]

In other news, there's been a 30-minute delay in the Georgia-Mississippi State game to try to figure out who to eject following a confrontation.

 

[USMA76]

And Acuña is on holiday.

In all fairness, and as you said earlier, he's still in spring training.

 

[Slippyjms]

3-1

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I didn’t say much here once the Bama/UConn game started, which BTW, even in defeat, still proud of the Crimson Tide tonight. But man, this team still shows a fighter mentality. Got to love it. Get the sweep tomorrow.

 

[Tapate50]

Hey guys just tuning in to say that Kelenic isn’t striking out and that was his major issue. He maybe legit

Is the FO a clown car now too?

 

[Hulavol]

This team is building a lot of confidence …. And with this offense - I’m not concerned much about the pitching - we have a hell of a luxury and the opportunity to grow one of the young guys.

Unpopular opinion around here … but I’m very glad Snitker in charge - losing Strider had to be a tough blow for the young guys to deal with and I’m sure they are looking to the calming reassurance of a great clubhouse leader.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

What a demoralizing series so far for the Dbags.

What a demoralizing series so far for the Dbags.

I was thinking this earlier. How would it feel to jump out to a commanding lead against a really good team with their two top pitchers going, twice in a row, and lose both games….

Gotta be demoralizing.
