GDT 5/2- The Return of the Mighty Nuke; No Carmargo....

[Hulavol]

Good Ozzie

Thing is, the Braves pitches per plate appearance isn't that much different from recent years, because of the free swingers. Even now, with younger talent, it's excitable young players that are aggressive but can also take a walk.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Had to swing there as otherwise you're letting up too much doubt to the ump, who's called that area tonight a lot.

 

[Braves1976]

deGrom got ball three on Acuna called strike two, if not for that it was a 3-1 count and maybe different AB.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Damn, guys. I don’t care who’s pitching, this is embarrassing lol

 

[sturg33]

I think the umps zone has been fine. Not sure why everyone is complaining

 

[Braves1976]

another ball outside called a strike

The first two called strikes to Flowers were outside.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Massive strike zone tonight.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

There it is again, and why I said Acuna had to swing. That's not a strike. But he's called it both ways.

 

[salmagundy]

Maybe Camargo should've gave Albies a day off vs deGrom as he still has no hits vs him. Time will tell.

Since being moved to the lead off spot, Albies has K'd 4 times, including 2 tonight. 29 times for season, but he's still behind Swanson who leads the Braves with 32.

 

[Hawk]

At least he's consistently wide

 

[Braves1976]

He is calling it both ways at least, may help us since Newk is wild.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Seems like one of the Mets players might be getting tossed tonight. They seem very upset with the strike zone.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Newcomb just suddenly has times, seemingly from AB to AB, where he just misses wildly for no reason. It seems mechanical since it happens a lot.

Is degrom hurt? The Braves might be about to catch a major break.

 

[USMA76]

The ump apparently has a 9:30 dinner reservation.

I think this comment is going to prove to be quite prescient.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Sucks for deGrom but good for us lol

 

[Braves1976]

Is deGrom hurt? They were talking like he might be. That wide strike zone is helping both pitchers so far. Maybe Newk most of all.

 

[Braves1976]

deGrom out, this is out chance!

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Wow, huge break for us. Sucks for the Mets. Their pitchers just cannot stay healthy.
