GDT 6/15/22: Braves @ Gnats - Contreras Behind the Dish

[msstate7]

Acuña consistently under pitches rn he knows he should be driving.

He's saving it for giants and dodgers next week

 

[thethe]

Was hoping to see him go to the change on 3-1 to Luis Garcia, instead of that fastball that ended up in the RF bleachers.

Got to throw another 1-2 per inning. Keep these guys off the fastball which will also result in fewer foul balls.

 

[CyYoung31]

Can this ump at least call it equally both ways?

 

[thethe]

The gap should probably be bigger...

Olson: .347 wOBA, .353 xwoba
FF: .355 wOBA, .402 xwoba

Freeman is a borderline HOF player in his prime. I definitely expected Freeman to be better this season.

Olson: .347 wOBA, .353 xwoba
FF: .355 wOBA, .402 xwoba

Olson hasnt been as great as expected. But it's a long-term move. Next 3 years probably Freddie, next 6 it's Olson unless Freddie can age like fine wine.

Stop crying over spilled milk. Turn the page. Alea iacta est.

Looks like Porter is on that “ veteran - rookie” bull **** with his zone.

 

[CyYoung31]

Umm…why is Chavez warming up in a two run game with the bullpen having essentially just gotten two nights off?

 

[The Tariff King]

We have an off day tomorrow and Snit wants to leave Strider in already at almost 100 pitches.

 

[CyYoung31]

Also, Strider shouldn’t be in there anymore.

I'm guessing...
Smith 7th
Minter 8th
Jansen 9th

Maybe strider can get us through this inning

 

[CyYoung31]

YO. Someone wake this dumbass old man up.

 

[CyYoung31]

He’s at 103 pitches and clearly tiring. This is really pushing it.

 

[Southcack77]

Seems like 100 pitches is a little much

 

[jpx7]

Hook was two batters ago.

 

[TURBO]

Is Snit asleep?

 

[Hudson2]

Can’t believe they’ve let Strider throw this many pitches.

 

[thethe]

I'm ok trying to push Strider here and see how he responds against what is effectively a minor league lineup. If it doesn't work I still think we are likely to win this game.

 

[Hudson2]

Strider is legit.

 

[jpx7]

Strider is legit.

Left in too long, still strikes out Nelson Cruz on his last pitch. He does indeed look legit. Excited to see him develop that change more. I know he’s very cerebral, so he’s working on his development despite his great raw stuff.
