GDT 7-6 Ian on the hump

[bravesnumberone]

Clearly it was the right move after Matzek was all over the place in the walk to load the bases to leave him in the game.

 

[Hudson2]

You can’t let Matzek pitch the 8th or 9th. He looks completely different then he did last year.

 

[Enscheff]

Great, this team can’t even win every series they play. Time to blow up the entire MLB and AAA team.

Good thing I’m taking a short escape in Florida and the Braves aren’t on in my hotel room

Do infielders field all those dots? Or do they only field grounders?

Baseball is very confusing. Please help me understand.

Oh wait, I posted the spray chart that matters.

This. He already walked 2 and gave up a single. Why leave him in? Somebody should have been up after the 1st walk.

Wasn’t this the 3rd day in a row for Matzek?

Where did the hit go? I

 

[msstate7]

The braves announcers are not pumping sunshine. This team is hot garbage, and it's time it's called out

Those orange dots are hits. He hits it oppo all the time

The Braves are never getting above .500. This was the stretch to do it, and they failed in embarrassing fashion. 80 win team at best.

Even if they did win the next four to get to one over .500 at the break, they’re going 1-5 at best with the current roster against Tampa and San Diego coming out of the break.

 

[Enscheff]

It’s almost like if you take a 90 win true talent team and subtract a 4 win LFer, a 4 win SP and a 3 win C you are left with a sub-.500 team.

So weird. I better go cry on a message board.

Again, one more time verrrrry slowly. Maybe read it 2-3 times so it sinks in?

Infielders only catch grounders. I posted a link to his grounder spray chart, not his base hit spray chart. You know, the chart actual teams use to make actual decisions.

Take some time to educate yourself.

I've officially become a numbers-believer except for one - if you say strikeouts for hitters don't matter for hitters, I'm sorry but you simply can't make that stand up. please find the metric that supports that AND explains how this team is about to get swept by the Pirates.

Sorry, but if that's to explain why you play Frazier to pull it's beyond ridiculous.

 

[Buzzworm]

I said it two weeks ago and I’ll say it again.Raise the flag Boys this team is….
FINNISH

 

[msstate7]

Surely BR or fangraphs has Frazier's numbers vs the shift

 

[Enscheff]

Yeah, why would you play a guy who pulls 80% of his grounders to the right side of the infield?

Makes no sense!!
