Arcia's plate disciple has been so good lately.

Always nice when the opponents' starter has to throw 30+ pitches in the first inning regardless of how many runs he gives up.

 

[Hulavol]

Damn…. We let that little weasel off the hook…. He did throw about 33 pitches or so -so he’s not gonna last long ….

Exactly - you said it better than me.

Grant Holmes has been strong this season. What a pleasant surprise.

 

[Hulavol]

Alright- a weak seeing eye grounder and a solid hit and no damage.
Lookin’ good so far - I know it’s just the Marlins - but don’t walk anybody and keep the ball in the park …

 

[Hulavol]

Dang. We got a box of the no-fun baseballs again

Yeah - but I think the sun in that dude’s face is why it went through - but yes, he smoked it

 

[Hulavol]

Ump gave us one there - but we deserve it from the Ozuna missed call!

 

[Hulavol]

Damn. Solo dinger. At least it was just that.
And great bounce back to get the K.
1-1

You mean 2025 Cy young Grant Holmes lol

 

[Hulavol]

The BAD MAN doing BAD THINGS to baseballs!!

 

[Hulavol]

I was pissed at Rosario for swinging at a 2-0 with bases loaded. I still am. Zero percent chance that dude was gonna throw three strikes before two more balls. But at least he didn’t GIDP… although he tried to.
I will never understand why we don’t redlight the hell out of these guys when there is such a great chance of a free run. Maybe we are too afraid to hurt their wittle feelings ….

 

[bravesfanMatt]

So Holmes threw -70 pitches last time. Wonder if that is his target again or if they go up a bit more to 85ish
