Ozuna pissed somebody off

 

[Nerfherders]

I can't believe the Braves and Mets, two of the top five teams in MLB, have played 9 games against each other in the last two weeks to decide the NL East and NOT ONE of the games has been on national television. Not even a 'Regional Coverage' game on MLB network. That's just baffling.

Fortunately Ive caught most of the games on Bally replay, which they seem to have blacked out less often the last few weeks.

I just had a ghost poo. No way the Braves are losing tonight.

Easily top 5 thing that can happen in a day.

Braves have a lot on the line tonight:

Ozuna pissed somebody off

The only thing that pissed anybody off is his poor play!

 

[USMA76]

Ozuna pissed somebody off

Just anyone who's seen him play in the last month or so.

 

[Enscheff]

Complaints about Braves hitters swinging early in the count...in 3...2...1...

Ozuna more than earned his benching, but i was a little surprised considering he was starting to hit the ball the other way

 

[msstate7]

I don't know how you attack degrom, but swinging away seems like it might make you see him for 7 innings

 

[chop2chip]

I truly hope a team signs DeGrom away from the Mets this offseason.

You almost have to guess fastball and go after it. You can’t touch that slider.

The Phillies

Haha

I think he is the DH vs LHP when Contreras is catching.

He may not get another PA this year...

Well he throws every pitch he has 95+ for strikes. Making him work isn’t really a concept that can be employed.

 

[CyYoung31]

****ing Showalter keeps trying to ice our pitchers by arguing obvious calls.

 

[msstate7]

They hit 2 balls well that inning. Bats gonna have to do something

 

[msstate7]

If anyone can take degrom deep, it's this kid
