GDT- 8/8/18- Night of the FOLTY

[Braves1976]

Brach got a DP line out on ball four that would've loaded them. Big break there.

What a damn good win! Let’s take the series tomorrow.

[Braves1976]

I'm ok with Brach here, hasnt pitched since Sunday, needs work.

he looked like closer often does in a non save situation, not sharp but got the job done

 

[USMA76]

I can't wait to watch the postgame meltdown/whinefest on Nats Extra after the game. It's gonna be a hoot.

If you want a grumpy old white guy, you can't do much better than Ray Knight.

Tomorrow is gravy.

 

[Braves1976]

Hopefully Sanchez has his fastball hitting the corners and has them looking silly with his slow stuff again.

 

[Southcack77]

Yeah, if Parsons can't be trusted to lock down a 5 run game, he doesn't need to be here

probably the long relief contingency tomorrow.

 

[UNCBlue012]

probably the long relief contingency tomorrow.

my thoughts exactly

 

[USMA76]

This.

If you told me before the road trip, we'd take 3 of 4 from the Mets, and split with the Nats in DC, i'd have taken that. Winning 3 of 4 and putting Washington in a deep hole sounds great though

 

[USMA76]

Predictably, the gNats postgame crew is apoplectic about the Soto ejection.

My favorite part was still seeing on Reddit that Bob Carpenter though Culberson "got under" his 3 run HR.

lol yea he has ''got under'' three homers vs the Nats so far this series.

When has Joe Simpson ever won anything? And what does Joe Simpson have to do with Soto getting thrown out?

Kings stay kings

 

[The Tariff King]

What is Culberson's WAR. He's won us like 5 games this year with veteran grit and clutchness. Is that how this works?

 

[Braves1976]

Despite a few errors at short Culberson has 0 DRS there so far, he has had a 7 DRS at short 271.2 innings total in MLB. 0.1 DPR, 1.6 RngR and 8.6 UZR/150 but Snit keeps playing him at second and third mostly where he has a -3 DRS this year (-1 DRS at second, -2 DRS at third). He has a 0 DRS in LF so not costing runs there or short.

 

[drewdat]

Impressive, I feel like umpires were more ejection-happy in the 70s

 

[Braves1976]

I see Inciarte has an 8 DRS and leads us with the best range numbers this year. So those claiming he was losing it on defense were dead wrong. He's been even better this year. Albies has been strong at second too, 4 DRS and good range, Camargo at third has a 5 DRS and plus range. How about Freeman with a 7 DRS and second best behind Inciarte as far as range at his position? He is having his best year on defense. Swanson is also tied with Inciarte with an 8 DRS at short so very strong infield defense and in CF.
