GDT 8/30/21: Braves @ Dodgers - Weird Lineup

[msstate7]

This team literally has an All-Star at every single spot in the lineup.

Never happen, but wish mlb had a salary cap.

ETA... or if you go over the luxury cap, you surrender your 1st round pick

 

[msstate7]

Still a long way to go tonight, but If this score holds, the lead will be 3.5. We have a game we're trailing late though with Padres, so gotta figure 3-game lead. Gotta find a way to win some games this week

Nah. But I’m cool with a higher luxury tax, I guess. It’s already ginormous though, at like 50% of your total payroll.

What the league really needs is a salary floor.

What they need to do is put a stop to these fckn satellite camps and showcases that other teams outside of the Dodgers, Angels, and Yanks don’t have access to…same showcases the Dodgers found Puig and signed Urias when he was fckn 15 years old.

 

[CyYoung31]

How about no more fastballs...mmmkay?

Hate to tell you Bro…we are getting swept in LA…focus needs to turn to Colorado and what we are going to do with Smily…

 

[CyYoung31]

They have hit every single fastball he’s thrown tonight.

 

[jsebe10]

I mean he’s just throwing BP up there…this dude is fckn useless and does not belong in this rotation…

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Wonder if they would consider drew to the pen and let touki take his spot. Really wouldn’t make much of difference at this point. Maybe drew can find something in shorter burst. 1-2 innings.

 

[jsebe10]

This is fckn embarrassing man…as a Braves fan…fckn embarrassing.

 

[jpack1]

Don’t throw the dam fastball. They are sitting on it and killing it.

 

[CyYoung31]

Smyly should be at the All-Star game every year. He’d really shine in the homerun derby.

 

[50PoundHead]

It was that remarkable uptick in velocity that enthralled Anthopoulos.

Smyly now at 31 HRs allowed on the season. We have a month to go. We he make it to 40?

EDIT: Smyly's only at 27 HRs allowed. I checked his stats at mlb.com and I didn't realize they do a live update on everyone's stats. Smyly had 23 HRs allowed coming into the game.

 

[msstate7]

Unfortunately, my 2 predictions for the week...

1. Dodgers overtake giants
2. Braves lead is 1 game or less when we start a series with nats Tuesday.

 

[Runnin]

Urias and Chavez look like twins separated at birth.

 

[Enscheff]

How long until Chip realizes Albies isn’t batting?

 

[Garmel]

Soler averts the shutout.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Something tells me we get this at least to 5-4.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

So did twit really replace Rosario against a pitcher he stuck him in the starting lineup for? Only to pinch hit for that guy one turn later?

 

[thewupk]

everybody asleep?
