GDT 5/2/21: Braves @ Jays - Contreras takes over

[Garmel]

Fangraphs has them as the 12th highest K%.

Perhaps he's talking NL and you're talking MLB?

 

[jpx7]

Dope.

 

[TURBO]

Finding it difficult to remain positive

Too lazy to look, but seems plausible.

 

[msstate7]

This team is so much fun

 

[Slippyjms]

Great throw by Pache ruined by Ozzie

 

[msstate7]

At least milb starts this week... guess we back to looking at box scores hoping for the future

AA should use this as an opportunity to get rid of a terrible manager. Fire em, and say we find this level of play unacceptable. And I know this isn't happening

Bad look for AA giving him an extension this past offseason.

I have no idea why AA gave him a contract extension through 2023 with an option for 2024. Seriously, what franchise would hire Snitker, and why would he want to leave? Give him a year-by-year contract with a club option year attached.

Chip getting one last crack on how bad modern baseball is with Tom before Jeff takes back over Tuesday.

 

[msstate7]

Tuesday:
Acuna
FF
Albies
Ozuna
Riley
Swanson
Contreas
Pache

Make teams pay for going to lhp with albies following FF. My God, this lineup is waaaaay tooo RH

 

[msstate7]

Good of Ronald to not let ff choke it away again today

 

[msstate7]

When's the last 5-game losing streak?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

We probably need to listen to CY about the board name. Seems he might have a point and I applaud him for this original thought

 

[WaitingFor2017]

When's the last 5-game losing streak?

2020-2021: Last 3 vs. Dodgers, first two vs. Phillies (which extended to a 7 game streak)

In terms of regular season only, it was in 2017 when they lost 6 in a row from September 25 to September 30 to the @Mets and @Marlins.

Francoeur moderates Chip in a fashion that makes him almost acceptable. I'd be fine with banishing Glavine from the booth—he's basically a Joe Simpson-style coefficient when he gets in there with Chip.

Season ender?

Season ender?

Not sure, but surgery soon. Would have to think Contreras is #1 catcher for the near future at least
