Oh, so Smith is the everyday catcher now?

Snit is dumb.

This may have something to do with it.

Contreras doesn't rate well framing according to them

Smith doesn’t do anything well. I’m sure he’s a better framer though, you can tell that by watching.

This reeks to me of Smith getting a couple hits and Snit playing the hot hand.

Contreras is pretty putrid at pitch framing. It's probably worth it to play Smith in what should be a pitching duel.

Hopefully Langeliers is good at it.

We need the best chance to score runs possible. Mets probably aren’t going to hit much regardless of who’s framing for the Braves.

It's funny until you realize the Braves are paying Bruce Sutter 9.1 million next year

 

[Freshmaker]

Ugh Acuna out tonight. Can PH tho

 

[Slippyjms]

If Contreras isn’t gonna play everyday he needs to go down and either Lucroy or Langeliers needs to come up.

 

[rico43]

Oh, hell. Anderson's first pitch was a fastball down the middle, belt-high, and called a ball. I predict a joke of a stroke zone tonight.

 

[thewupk]

game?

 

[TURBO]

Might be game

 

[CyYoung31]

Thanks for the series loss, Snit.

 

[msstate7]

Might be a little quick on the "game" trigger

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Thought i'd leave this here where flags fly forever

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ian, you dumbass. Thanks for screwing the game for Atlanta

 

[msstate7]

Wait, so what's wrong with Acuna?

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Injury delay on first pitch wtf? Who is hurt?

 

[Freshmaker]

Wait, so what's wrong with Acuna?

Mid-back tightness. Is available off the bench
