GDT 8/25/23: Braves @ Giants - Keeping our Stride

[CrazyTrain]

Riley just refuses to hit the damn baseball with any sort of authority. Everything the last few weeks has been weak contact

Ya, but remember when everything he hit was over the fence just before that?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I’m not shocked to see Jimenez looking rusty, this is only his fourth appearance since Aug. 10.

 

[CyYoung31]

Acuña should’ve caught that.

 

[drewdat]

Would have been pretty useful if it were billiards

 

[Hulavol]

Need TDA to start getting hot ….

(His best Braves AB of the year not withstanding)

 

[msstate7]

The braves are awful vs wood

 

[UNCBlue012]

Iglesias…?

 

[Hulavol]

Surely not

 

[Hulavol]

Yes - shows what I know

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Twit had this decided on the plane last night. I mean don’t worry you have the dodger$ looming. Riggy is the only guy who can keep this score safe.

 

[drewdat]

If it's close enough to use your closer, it's probably close enough to pinch hit for Eddie vs. a lefty and/or pinch run for Ozuna.

 

[Hulavol]

Looking good … you gotta admit it’s nice having a closer that can, you know, close out frames with consistency.

And then that ….. dang

 

[UNCBlue012]

Iglesias has been nasty this season. Great great great win.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

 

[TURBO]

 

[Hulavol]

If it's close enough to use your closer, it's probably close enough to pinch hit for Eddie vs. a lefty and/or pinch run for Ozuna.

In all seriousness, I think RI is one of those who says he needs to pitch every few days to keep arm good…

Got ‘em !
Winner !
GREAT START to trip!!!

 

[thewupk]

Easy win

 

[Enscheff]

NL Cy and MVP on the same roster?

 

[chop2chip]

Braves are number 1 in runs scored and runs allowed in MLB.

Is that good?

 

[Strike3urout]

Incredible scoreless streak just ended. But man, Strider may have officially reentered the Cy Young conversation.

Wow, Strider is back to 3rd in pitching WAR in the NL, per FG. I don‘t think Wheeler gets it, with his mediocre superficial stats. So if Strider end up close to Gallen, I think it‘s his.

Sure helps when his offense is beating up his competition!
