Hard to watch Soroka pitching against us.

 

[msstate7]

It's almost unfair that pitchers get to face Olson every night in the 1st. He can settle in

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Any reason why the Braves hitters have already watched 6 strikes go by

 

[bravesfanMatt]

8 now. Is this a strategy?

Part of their dumb ass scouting report, I'd guess. Whoever is prepping this team needs to take a hike

 

[msstate7]

22 pitches though. Surely he can't throw many over 80

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Best hope for the. Raves get lucky and the bats dumb manager extends Soroka past 80 pitches again.

I keep having this feeling that Soroka will be OFS around the 3rd inning

I would agree if the Braves didn't suck. He throwing a lot of middle pitches

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Man. I was hoping after the first two K’s SS could go immaculate.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

And what I get for drinking. First hitter had a ball.

 

[CyYoung31]

Is Snitker back to alternating catcher?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Ozzie. 0-78

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Keep playing him skip. Maybe hit him lead off to get him going

 

[msstate7]

Man, I can't handle much more of Eli and Verdugo in the lineup. A platoon, I could stand

 

[UNCBlue012]

I appreciate that the team is trying to improve their approach and be a bit more patient, but there's no way they can keep looking at fastballs directly down the middle

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Are they any worse than our SS or 2B. Holes everywhere

I still think Ozzie will rebound and be decent. Allen is terrible, but you can deal with a no-bat SS. You can't deal with terrible OF bats

Call strike called strike called strike called strike
