GDT 5/10 Braves @ Marlins

As usual, pitcher runs the bases and gives up runs very next inning.

IMO that run is as much on the home plate ump as much as the pitcher. I give Folty credit for not caving in (as he often does) after being absolutely screwed by the ball/strike calls.
 
At least the "Give Camargo a Chance" crowd won't be able to say he wasn't given a legitimate opportunity.

I honestly thought he'd be better/more consistent than he's shown so far.
 
He gave up a base runner on an error, pitched around Realmuto, and then gave up an opposite field slap hit to Prado.

I don’t think running the bases caused any of that.

He could have struck out Realmuto with high FB and high sliders but he didn't.

Prado loves hitting against pitchers like Folty as he will go the other way EVERY FREAKING TIME!!!
 
Whoever has been working with ender needs to be working with Albies, acuna, and Swanson on base stealing
 
Ender is stealing like crazy this year, that is partly why I am willing to give him a shot at leadoff again. That way he gets more chances to do so.
 
The more I watch Camargo and Bautista, the more I desperately want the Braves to trade for Machado. I'm sure its still unpopular but its exactly what this team needs. I know he's only a rental but trading for him would let the Braves start negotiating an extension. I'm sure they would be able to make him an offer that he would love to keep him around.
