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

Touki did a good job. Got some good fortune, but still, good job

Certainly coulda been worse as I had visions of a meltdown in the third and fourth innings. Good mental toughness by Touki and a few fortuitous hard hit balls at infielders helped his cause.
 
If the determination was made that Touki is a 90+ pitch guy, then I have no problem with how he was used tonight.
 
Matt Carpenter has had a decent series and that’s no ok seeing as he’s unbelievably bad at hitting a baseball now
 
ESPN announcer saying it's "aggressive base running" to move from second to third on a ball hit to the warning track in right field. Yeah, that's a real gamble [rolleyes].
 
Smith has struggled all game catching the ball. Not exactly ideal for a no hit catcher.
