GDT 4/7/27 @PIT Folty vs. Nova

[Julio3000]

Wasn't FF's start last season really poor? I know he hit a hr on opening day, but went ice cold after that.

Yeah, he had a stretch where he was striking out like he couldn't see the ball, a la Uggla.

 

[msstate7]

Kemp out... turn the channel. All our offense is gone

 

[msstate7]

Just our luck... chase scores standing up on that

 

[sturg33]

Kemp is literally our entire offense, and he's out.

Then the neck shows a little power!

 

[msstate7]

No chance Phillips come thru

 

[msstate7]

I knew it. Phillips is so garbage

 

[msstate7]

Anything borderline is a strike for nova

 

[sturg33]

Brandon Phillips was quite the acquisition

 

[bravesfanMatt]

why would we pinch run for Kemp down by 3? did he hurt himself.

 

[Enscheff]

Kemp hurt or did they PR for him abnormally early in the game?

 

[sturg33]

Hurt diving for a routine fly ball in left (seriously)

 

[sturg33]

2nd and 3rd, 1 out... no runs scored

We'll start hitting once the weather warms up. Not a talent level issue.

 

[msstate7]

Remember our RBI conversation... well apparently just anyone (Phillips) can't get them. He has absolutely killed us these first few games

 

[sturg33]

We'll start hitting once the weather warms up. Not a talent level issue.

I see our lineup like this:

Freeman - really good
Kemp - pretty good
Swanson - slightly above average
Markakis - average
Ender - below average
Garcia - below average
Phillips - below average
Catchers - not good

That doesn't give me a lot of hope

 

[Enscheff]

We'll start hitting once the weather warms up. Not a talent level issue.

So what happens when the teams that are hitting well against the Braves get into warmer weather? They won't also start hitting better? The Braves are the only team that hits worse in the cold?

Please educate me.

You can't be serious.

See your earlier post about irony and sarcasm.

Got it. Apologies.

 

[thewupk]

Got it. Apologies.

We will be better than last year but that's not saying much.
