GDT- 8/14/18 ....RETURN OF THE NIGHT OF THE ANIBAL- THIS TIME HE MEANS WAR

[thewupk]

Needed that 3rd run imo.

We'll get more

 

[Braves1976]

Good start but we blew a big shot at more. Culberson should be starting over Swanson at short. He is having too great a year to keep on the bench.

 

[Heyward]

How many games we got left against the Fish? Hopefully a bunch

5 more total not including tonight.

Agreed, but the guys put it in play...just couldn't get a flyball deep enough or find a hole.

Culberson has pretty bad defensive numbers.

 

[Southcack77]

MLB record for most consecutive games with a HR is only 8. Why not?

At this point, I almost thinks he gets it lol. This is insanity.

Gotta believe that lead off homers in 4 straight games is the record or ties it.

 

[Braves1976]

whew, I thought Swanson's error called a hit was about to bite us. It only cost us the pitcher leading off next inning and extra pitches though.

 

[Braves1976]

Culberson has pretty bad defensive numbers.

Culberson's is a natural shortstop, I already shared his shortstop numbers and they are solid. He just needs regular time there. See here if you don't believe me: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=3298&position=OF

 

[The Tariff King]

Leadoff HR or GTFO.

Lol

 

[NYCBrave]

It’s not fluky....

He’s among the leaders in batting average, so it stands to reason he’d hit well with runners on base.

That's not necessarily true. Look it up

 

[thewupk]

Also I know we are excited about the lead off homer. But we have a bigger lead once again if neck and acuna are swapped

Thats what she said.

 

[Freshmaker]

Lol Sanchez is a lazy ass

 

[Orphan Black]

Thats what she said.

haha...that's never not funny.

I'm trying to find the record right now, but can't. I can't imagine that 3 straight leadoff home runs has happened all that often.

Maybe. I think it's a stretch to say things play out the exact same way if you flip guys around. And I am for markakis at leadoff... been calling for it since May

 

[Braves1976]

you cannot walk him

 

[Braves1976]

walk a bad hitter and just like that tied. This is not good, Richards probably settles in now too. We may look back on blowing that shot in the first and say it cost us this game if we lose.
