GDT 8/23/22: Braves @ Pirates - Maxing out for Max

[striker42]

Middle of the lineup has been having dumb ABs. 2-3-4 hitters went down on 5 total pitches.

Still, good inning.

 

[chop2chip]

Batted around on only 20 pitches. How is that possible?

Everyone trying to crank one. They better cut this **** out against an actual good team like the Cardinals or they'll have a bad weekend and fall right out of the division race.

 

[chop2chip]

If Sandy has a rough month and Fried finishes strong he’s going to have a strong case for Cy Young.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Fried's at 53 pitches. I'd be fine with the Pirates just swinging at everything and him getting the chance at a Maddux.

I thought Brubaker's stats were going to be a horror show, but he seems decent this year?

They just won 5 of 7 from 2 of the top 5 teams in the league. They know what they are doing. lmao

Neither Contreras nor Harris were remotely close to being struck out

3.67 FIP and over 9 K/9. But, then he’s got a 1.43 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9, and has given up more hits than innings pitched.

could’ve been 7/7 if Snit didn’t punt the bullpen in both losses.

Yeah, that was garbage time by the umps.

 

[The Tariff King]

Yanks up 1-0

 

[Hudson2]

Come on Yanks help us out. Could be 2 games out after today

 

[bravesnumberone]

62 pitches through 6.

 

[UNCBlue012]

2-0 Yanks

Can't because Pirates already scored

 

[Hudson2]

Grissom just knows how to make contact

 

[thewupk]

Grissom = Jeter. Prove me wrong.

I forgot the shutout was a requirement. In any event, he could be in line to go the distance.

 

[Hudson2]

Grissom took his ass clean out bahaha
