GDT 6/21/22: Braves vs. Giants - Win It For Allison

We might be watching what happens when a guy with 1 pitch doesn’t have that 1 pitch

4 run inning happens apparently.

This may be a good lesson to some of those who think anyone can just be plopped into the rotation and go every 5 days
 
Allison is my 13 month old daughter. She’s been my baseball buddy and Braves fan ever since she was born and doesn’t know the Braves as anything but a World Champion team.

Yesterday when I went to get her up from her nap I found her seizing in her crib and she hasn’t regained consciousness since. We think she’s gonna be ok but she’s currently in the PICU on a vent having a really tough go of it and there are more questions than answers.

Prayers for Allison
 
This frankly feels like a moment where the right thing to do would be take Strider out after this inning. He clearly doesn't have it, fastball is off, could be over worked and even if he can gut through it, its the type of game where we need to save his arm for the longer haul. We have a deep pen that is overall well rested
 
I’m not afraid of Desclafani. We don’t struggle against the veteran backend starters. If he was a 40 FV guy pitching his 4th game, I would say we were toast.
