GDT 8/28/23: Braves @ Rockies - Albies Returns

[CyYoung31]

Thank God Pillar is still in LF.

 

[jpx7]

While Rosario should've been hitting last inning ... no way Rosario makes that catch.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Pillar, baby

 

[jsebe10]

Good thing Snit started Pillar

 

[USMA76]

Rosario makes that play so what's the big deal?

 

[striker42]

There apparently is a SS on the bench named L Williams. I legit have no idea who this is, which is the first time I think that’s ever been the case.

Who in the world is this guy? And why do the Braves have 3 SS on the roster?

Luke Williams, who walked off will smith a couple years ago in his Phillies' debut.

 

[Hulavol]

He's been awful outside of one good month.

They showed a stat that KP is hitting .324 or something in 23 starts in Coors … so there’s that ….
And he just made a fantastic non- rosario catch too!

God I love how competitive Elder has been tonight

I think the Stott vs Minter one was worse. Ewww

 

[Enscheff]

Ok so he’s actually a super utility guy who can play the OF. Now it makes some sense.

 

[Hulavol]

By the way, Elder going through six is freaking awesome! Having this pen rested as much as possible may really pay off this weekend…. Just sayin’…

 

[jsebe10]

Way to finish strong!

 

[Nerfherders]

Good start from Elder considering the Coors factor

 

[Hulavol]

Now, let’s pour on about five runs ….

 

[Nerfherders]

I feel like we need 3 more

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Elder has pitched better than his numbers would indicate. He did a nice job.

Had Snit properly hit Rosario for Pillar in the 4th, Black would have brought in this LHP to face Rosario last inning. Snit would have then countered with TDA, and that Williams guy would have been in LF.

Would Williams make that play? No idea, but those would have been the correct moves. Of course…dinosaurs can’t make such moves.

 

[Nerfherders]

Lol

 

[Hulavol]

Acuna gonna steal on this dude
