Has anyone figred out why TC has to make 3 posts about every game? Is it just a desperate attempt to generate more clicks?

All "written" by the same "author". I'm sure there will be a post to recap the game as well, making 4 "articles" about a single game.

Is this normal, and does it serve a purpose I'm not seeing?

Mike Foltynewicz’s legacy is on the line tonight.

 

[Enscheff]

I have to assume a real OFer gets that fly ball. Will check the xwOBA on that batted ball tomorrow.

 

[Enscheff]

That was not a good slider from Folty, movement or location...resulted in a K though.

Foltys back

 

[Enscheff]

2 Ks and 2 weak fly balls

2 Ks and 2 weak fly balls

Seems good

Ronald Acuna Jr. right now:

This is the Markakis I was expecting this year.

 

[Enscheff]

Want to know how to convince Snit to bat Markakis lead off?

Markakis OPS with bases empty: .893
Markakis OPS with men on base: .687
Markakis OPS with RISP: .642

I imagine some moronic stat like that will do more to convince the dinosaurs Markakis needs to bat lead off than a meaningful stat.

*sigh* Stupidly constructed lineup.

 

[Enscheff]

Don't throw FAs there Folty

 

[thewupk]

Foltys back

it's the Tigers

 

[Enscheff]

it's the Tigers

As long as he isn't walking guys and the velocity is back, I'm taking it as progression towards what the Braves need Folty to be.

Yet we're still losing

 

[thethe]

Maybe we overpaid for ozzie

Yet we're still losing
