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

[msstate7]

What’s the future for this dude going forward? Bullpen or a roster casualty in a couple weeks?

If we were smart, we'd let him open and go 1 time thru. That's it. No matter what, pull him after 1st time thru

 

[USMA76]

The only pitch Touki can throw in the strike zone is the slow curve. Don't think the Cardinal hitters don't know it.

 

[CyYoung31]

We’re going to lose this ****ing game because the Braves don’t believe in piggybacking spot starters.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Touki extremely fortunate to only give up two there. Looking like a Josh Tomlin kind of night.

 

[USMA76]

We were lucky Arenado threw his foot into Ozzie's glove.

 

[CyYoung31]

What more do you have to see you ****ing buffoon?

 

[jsebe10]

It should be 10-2 righy now

 

[UNCBlue012]

I really, really like Touki but this exact thing happens way too often. You’ve been given lead and are facing one of the worst lineups in baseball. Just attack these dudes and stop nibbling, man.

Also, Duvall is so damn good defensively.

That’s what (and many others) have been saying. It makes zero sense why the Braves don’t do this.

But there’s also no reason for the Braves not to have at least five runs by now on their trash pitcher.

The problem is we have touki and muller back to back. Bc of this we feel we have to extend touki some. Need Charlie between them, and use the pen big time in their starts

Hey, Snit wants to get Touki through five innings so he can qualify for a win that never happens?

 

[msstate7]

Atta boy, joc.

 

[Southcack77]

AA = GG

That and we don’t have the depth in the bullpen to have them constantly go five or six innings when Fried or Morton aren’t pitching. Will be good to get Ian back.

 

[USMA76]

When I see Kevan Smith come to the plate, I just want to throw a flip flop through the TV screen.

 

[CyYoung31]

Albies is due.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, these new pickups have been clutch as hell for Atlanta

 

[bravesnumberone]

Hope Touki is gone next baserunner he allows.

Third time through against LeBlanc coming up next inning.

 

[bravesnumberone]

More failure to pitch competitively ahead with two strikes.
