How is that a strike to Acuna when that one on Cargo was a ball?

Braves actually won a series against Colorado in Denver this year, but that feels like ages ago and honestly was before Colorado got it going, but this is about BABIP tonight. You can make a good argument that the last 6 runs were caused by the defense.

ETA: And I guess you can argue that that Newk was "due" to have BABIP continue to go against him, but when Markakis is lazily playing what should've been a pop up...nah. It's about BABIP.

What's up with our defense? Lots of less than best effort plays recently.

Chip confusing Forrest Gump with Castaway

Two things I’m pondering right now:

1. Watching Charlie Blackman this year really makes me want to think twice about signing Neck back.

2. Newk needs to pitch in like Seattle. He is sweating and huffing like Gohora out there...but it’s not really even that hot tonight.

Freeland is really getting that inside strike call.

 

[msstate7]

Stop calling that inside pitch a strike! Frick

Faulty analogy fallacy.
