The BB doesn't even happen if someone catches that foul ball. That base hit was at 85mph. The only one that was really his fault was the one guy he hit.

Missed opportunity. Glad Morton did well. Mchugh hasn’t impressed me despite his good work in the Al. I think his peripherals were good.
I’m never comfortable with minter, especially if a guy gets on early.
But I do think snit did the right thing using minter over smith.
We have a lot of days in a row. Worried about the pen.

I would have still had Minter in over Smith. AJ just didn’t have it today and defense didn’t help. Many of Smith scoreless innings are like a defense in football making a goal line stand when the offense had first and goal at the one yard line. The job may have gotten done, but it wasn’t easy to watch.

I'm still fine with it. It was a factual statement

Yes, but at the same time, the Braves are still in a much better place now than they were on June 3

I will say the pen has been a bit disappointing compared to what it was supposed to be

In their defense, we missing what was expected to be 3 key cogs

You guys are hilarious. It’s a sucky loss, but we won the series. I do hope AA can go get another right handed impact arm for the pen.
Having Yates, Matzek, Jansen all coming back in the next month is going to be yuge. But Snit will still find ways to plug in Will Smith to close on Jansen's off-days.

I get it but the disappointment was there when Jansen and Matzek were healthy too. And I expect next to nothing from Yates coming back from a second TJS

Isn’t the Braves bullpen, like, 2nd in ERA and 4th in FIP?
2 out of every 3 the rest of the way gives you 100 wins on the nose even with the lower-leverage guys blowing one every here-and-there.
Using those guys every time you've won the first two games of a series is perfectly alright with me - even if you wind up with 95 wins instead.
Get me to October with a healthy Fried, Morton, Wright, and Strider in the rotation and Jansen, Minter, Matzek, Stephens, Smith, and Yates available two out of every three days and I'll be a happy camper.
It's a marathon, not a sprint boys!!!

What type of magic will the Cardinals come up with the next few days?
