GDT 8/18/22: Braves vs Mutts - The Crucial Game

[Hudson2]

Minter is a stud

 

[USMA76]

Minter is a stud

Yeah, we should probably hang onto him for a bit.

 

[msstate7]

I gotta be honest... I'd prefer iglesias in the 9th

 

[chop2chip]

No idea what Iglesias is by the end of that contract, but he’s been a stellar pickup for the stretch run

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

If Yates and/or Matzek comes back like their old self the pen is absolutely filthy.

I agree…you just never know what KJ you’re gonna get…

 

[msstate7]

We really need a run. Jansen makes me nervous... hell, every closer the braves have had for the last 5 years makes me nervous

 

[Freshmaker]

Yeah. That was a surprise that worked

Incredibly dumb send that paid off lol. I just watched the replay, and Grissom was about 5 feet from getting to 3rd when Nimmo got the ball. Should’ve been out by a country mile lol

 

[msstate7]

They're using their jackson stephens tonight in 1-run game

 

[USMA76]

Acuña overanxious in his leadoff at bat.

 

[jsebe10]

Good god Acuna and Swanson…wtf

 

[msstate7]

Wow, that was 2 pathetic abs

 

[USMA76]

Who is this Givens guy? He's made our first two hitters look silly.

 

[msstate7]

Same guy we pulverized a few games back. He isn't good

 

[USMA76]

Anybody else rather see Iglesias for the four out save rather than Jansen? Just wondering.

 

[jsebe10]

What in the actual fck was up with that inning.

 

[CyYoung31]

Looks like we’re going to have to sweat it.

 

[USMA76]

Ks of our first three hitters is a decent argument that he might not be all bad.

He isn’t. He was good with the Cubs this year which is why the Mets got him at the deadline. I recall a few posters here wanting AA to get him. He’s been around for a while and has been a solid reliever.

 

[Garmel]

Jansen better throw strikes with this team.
