GDT 4/9/23: Braves vs Padres - An Easter Treat

[msstate7]

Come on Dodd

 

[USMA76]

Dylan Dudd.

Lots of hard hit balls in the top of the second. Lucky to only give up the one run.

 

[CyYoung31]

Denny Neagle.

 

[striker42]

Could have been worse but only 1 run. Dodd doesn't magnify his mistake pitches by giving out free passes. You have more leeway for mistakes when you're not filling the bases.

 

[atl717]

Dodd just doesn’t have the stuff. What happened to the mid 90s fastball?

 

[msstate7]

Lots of hard hit balls in the top of the second. Lucky to only give up the one run.

Braves need to start hitting the ball hard again

Braves need to start hitting the ball hard again

they do. They’re No. 2 in baseball in hard-hit outs. They hit a few rockets the last two nights, too. I suspect cold weather is the main neutralizer here

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dodd just doesn’t have the stuff. What happened to the mid 90s fastball?

It happened to Shuster too. I know spring training guns are historically unreliable but a 3-MPH drop is a lot.

 

[msstate7]

Good PA, ozuna, surprisingly

 

[msstate7]

Pretty sure Arcia needs about 2 days off a week on a 7-game week.

 

[Metaphysicist]

I can assure the announcer that Arcia is not "the guy" you want up with the postseason on the line.

 

[jsebe10]

Lol 92 right past Hilliard. Smh

 

[striker42]

The bottom of the lineup is just ugly. As good as the lineup is, AA still has plenty of room to improve.

 

[CyYoung31]

And that’s why Hilliard hasn’t been successful. All of that exit velocity doesn’t mean jack **** if you can’t make contact.

 

[Metaphysicist]

Denny Neagle.

Dodd winning 20 games confirmed.

He does seem to relying on the warning track fly outs to a Russ Ortiz degree, so it is all coming together.

 

[msstate7]

Should the braves be playing Grissom every other day in LF right now at Gwinnett? I think it's a race to see which spot needs him first

 

[CyYoung31]

Here comes the Facebook crowd.

 

[Enscheff]

Space cadet Acuna play #2 of 2023.

 

[Tapate50]

Dodd not throwing but 90 is a problem

 

[Enscheff]

Here comes the Facebook crowd.

Well he threw a mini temper tantrum instead of getting the ball in and allowed Xander 3rd base. He is an idiot.
