GDT 7/13/22: Braves vs Mets - Lefties and Defense

[jsebe10]

He’s hung two sliders to Sansby.

 

[Enscheff]

Down by 4, Acuna stealing bases. Tries to take 3rd with 2 outs.

Where is Snit?

 

[zbhargrove]

We need the break… we look tired

 

[zbhargrove]

Bassitt needs a damn pitch clock. Dude absolutely is brutal to watch

 

[jsebe10]

We need the break… we look tired

Getting junk balled to death…I swear we can’t hit an off speed pitch to save out life this series.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Acuña needs a vacation in the worst way. Team seems to be worn down by the long stretch without an off day.

 

[jsebe10]

Absolutely pathetic and inexcusable to walk Jankowski twice.

 

[jsebe10]

God damnit Olson

 

[msstate7]

Olson with more elite defense

 

[Enscheff]

Eddie certainly looked good there.

 

[jsebe10]

Can’t even be mad at Duvall anymore because he’s so bad…Just gotta be happy when he occasionally runs into one…Which will probably be at least 3 more times this season.

 

[msstate7]

Who knows how different the outcome might be had snit just stuck with the platoon. Maybe ozuna is 0-2 also, but maybe not

 

[jpx7]

Thought Duvall was going to get that through.

 

[striker42]

This team does look tired. I've not seen them miss so many balls on a tee all year. All Star break can't come soon enough.

 

[msstate7]

Braves face anibal Sanchez tomorrow. There's no reason to not give Swanson a day off. I'm sure we'll see Corbin this weekend, give Harris a day

 

[Enscheff]

I have a feeling this is the inning the Braves need to get something going. Platoon advantage for the first 2 hitters, then Acuna for a 3rd time.

 

[striker42]

Watching this series, the Braves are significantly better than the Mets. The Mets insanely lucky start and the Braves very slow start is the only reason the Mets are in it. This is not a very good team.

 

[striker42]

Man, zero luck today. Acuna smoked that one.

 

[striker42]

I don't know if I've ever seen a pitcher pitch a worse 5 inning shutout than Bassitt. Dude has thrown a massive amount of hittable pitches and gotten some wild BABIP luck.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Mets have made Harris look like an AA guy

I still think this 800 OPS guy he's been is not real. At least not at this age.

I expect him to be closer to the 700 OPS guy most of the projections have for him. Seeing his approach and what he's banked, I think 750 is reasonable. But I don't expect an impact bat at 21 with a limited number of professional at bats. With COVID disruption he might have the least amount of professional at bats before the big leagues ever...unless someone went straight to MLB.
