GDT 8/5/2021 Braves @ Cardinals - Leaving Mediocrity in the Rearview Mirror

[Garmel]

Albies under .800 ops now. Swanson only .015 behind

TDA got a hit.

 

[bravesnumberone]

This is the point in the game where we would be screaming not to let the pitcher face Albies and Soler. Let’s see if the Braves capitalize.

Of course not.

 

[jsebe10]

Of course not.

An 86 mph fastball down the d*ck is hell ain’t it?

Haven't actually looked at the stats, but it seems we've been pretty awful 3rd time through this season. Seems they go straight to hr or nothing mode 3rd time to see a guy

Lmao.

Nope, we're going to go down in a five pitch inning.

 

[Enscheff]

Right now Touki is at 75 pitches, about to face the pitcher and guys with the platoon advantage. If you made the decision to let Touki bat last inning, you have to let him face the RHH coming up because you’ve just declared Touki is a 90 pitch guy at that point.

Same **** every night. It cannot be that difficult for them to get the timing down after that many hitters.

 

[msstate7]

TDA got a hit.

And it was described as a line drive. Hopefully he just found his timing

 

[Enscheff]

Punting a PA for 2 additional innings from the SP is an acceptable trade.

Whether or not Touki is a 90+ pitch guy is open for debate, but that’s certainly what everyone wants him to be.

 

[Southcack77]

This is going better than expected.

 

[msstate7]

This is going better than expected.

It couldn't have been better. Don't push it, snit. Let me leave on a good note

 

[bravesnumberone]

Wow. Touki did a nice job bouncing back. Don’t know if that says more about him or the Cardinals’ offense, but Snit managed to avert disaster so far.

 

[CyYoung31]

Okay. That was a nice outing, despite the rough 3rd and 4th. Let’s leave it at that, Snit.

 

[Garmel]

And it was described as a line drive. Hopefully he just found his timing

Yep. He can't get back soon enough.

 

[Enscheff]

Now following the same logic, if Touki is a 90+ pitch guys, and he doesn’t come to bat this inning, the logically consistent move is to let him go until Carpenter comes to bat.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Riley is getting BABIP’d to death

 

[UNCBlue012]

Damn, we’re lasering everything. Complete luck for St. Louis

 

[msstate7]

So no one up... seems a bad decision

 

[bravesnumberone]

Some hard hit balls that inning. Nevertheless, two runs and three hits in six innings against a guy who has been released four times this season.
