GDT 7/14: Diamondbacks at Braves

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking Newk. He was one pitch away from this being a pretty solid start after the rough start. Dumb dumb dumb.

 

[TheBravos]

Welp

 

[Enscheff]

Then boom... game over. Crap

Sigh. Regression.

 

[Enscheff]

Still an excellent start given how the 1st inning went.

I don’t think Folty would have corrected course like that.

 

[nsacpi]

should have made the double switch at the start of the inning...little things have a way of adding up

 

[msstate7]

I think you mistake my projections with what I want to happen.

Probably so. I project we get our doors blown off the 2nd half, but want to be wrong... would love to be wrong

 

[TheBravos]

Flowers didn’t make the best call there either...

 

[Enscheff]

Newk has to be able to get RHers out with the CH. there was nothing wrong with the pitch selection.

 

[Enscheff]

Another poor start in the K department for Newk though.

 

[msstate7]

Nats down 7-0 to Mets. Barring a huge comeback, they will be 1 game under .500. They will have to win tomorrow to be .500 at the break. What. A. Crapshow. (Considering thd talent level)

 

[SJ24]

Newk sucks. Let's just call it like it is. Enscheff is right about him being Oliver Perez.

 

[TheBravos]

Newk has to be able to get RHers out with the CH. there was nothing wrong witch the pitch selection.

I guess you are right. This is just depressing to watch. Regression is one thing, but our offense went from absolutely fun to watch....to 2016 ish.

They aren’t this bad, but dang.

 

[SJ24]

Ender is awful. At some point your leadoff man needs to hit.

 

[CrimeDog247]

All Star Break can’t come quick enough

 

[sturg33]

Worth remembering that Grienke is pretty awesome

 

[Enscheff]

Just like they aren’t the best offense in the league as they were early, they aren’t putrid like they are now.

Upgrading 3b might serve as a shot in the arm. I would like to see them acquire Asdrubel, stick him in the 3-4 hole, and slide Markakis in at lead off.

 

[msstate7]

As far as this season goes, this team's best days are behind them. Please don't trade future assets on this sinking ship

 

[SJ24]

I want Ender out and Pache in so badly.

Dude, might as well bench Teheran and newcomb for Anderson and wentz. Pache is not ready

Taylor knows athletes. Don’t question it.

Wait...was he right or wrong about Acuna? Must have been right because he’s still here.
