Did anyone else see what looked like Zimmerman mocking Josh Donaldson when he rounded first?

Good job Newk.

Probably Greene in the 9th. Melancon threw a lot of pitches last night.

 

[Braves1976]

It's funny because the correct move was to bring in Newk for Soto, but Soto is the only guy Luke got out.

Now Newk is in to face a RHH while Swarzak is warm in the BP...

And predictably Newk retires both of the RHHs haha. Snit being rewarded for bad moves.

yea it is interesting how lucky he gets that way in big games.

 

[nsacpi]

Why bring in Newk to face back to back righties?

Vote of no confidence in Swarzak there.

Kinda deserves it. Planned celebrations with props are pretty lame.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Newcombe pitching well recently. Good sign heading down the stretch

 

[50PoundHead]

Looks like Luke wants to spend October getting ready for Halloween.

It's possible Snit had some advanced stats for those matchups. Not likely but possible.

Gotta agree. We can stop it anytime.

I’ve been noticing this too and TBH it’s terrifying. I really worry that Snit will start believing these are the correct moves and use them in the playoffs.

more likely reflects concerns about how Swarzak has been pitching.

 

[Freshmaker]

At least we had an even lead when Zimmerman hit that HR

I agree, but they do that lame ass dance in the dugout after every home run, so he has no room to talk.

WoW Classic just relaunched. He’s got something to look forward to.

 

[Slippyjms]

Then pick one of the several other righty options to warm up

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Said it before, but it's worth repeating, the cell phone chop is dog gone cool

 

[striker42]

Swarzak is not good

 

[Slippyjms]

Why not use McCann here?

 

[Enscheff]

Why not use McCann here?

Another wasted PA...that's 2 in this game so far.

Zimms just mad he’s bad now and not resurging à la Josh “Walker” Donaldson.
