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

[bravesfanMatt]

If I'm Washington, I just intentionally walk Charlie and pitch to Folty. I'm sure there are worse hitting pitchers out there, but Folty has been brutal outside his double vs. Scherzer.

yeah.. too early... better have that worse hitter leading off

 

[Hudson2]

CULBERSON!!!

 

[USMA76]

Joltin' Charlie Culberson strikes again.

[CyYoung31]

Dude, is Sutcliffe stoned out of his mind every broadcast?

Dude is borderline retarded.

 

[UNCBlue012]

OMG

 

[Hudson2]

That was money!

 

[Enscheff]

Hell yes!

 

[Braves1976]

MVP MVP MVP!

 

[sturg33]

I'm pretty close to having Culberson playing for Dansby against righties moving forward

 

[Braves1976]

nsacpi's bet against Culberson not looking good, lol.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Folty is going to go on DL with shoulder injury because of his poor ass swing..

dang that was a lefty

 

[nsacpi]

swanson better pick it up

 

[CyYoung31]

I heart Cluberson. We just need him to continue testing negative for two more months.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

nothing like a little 2 out magic.. good job picking your pitcher back up after letting him down in the 1st...

 

[Hulavol]

Need a quick easy inning here Folty..

 

[Braves1976]

dang that was a lefty

Culberson has actually a lot better vs righties. Before that AB neither he nor Swanson was above .700 OPS vs lefties. Not that either is much of a sample. I think before that homer he was at .698 OPS vs them so now over .700 obviously. But vs righties his OPS is over .800 which is why he should be starting more vs them. When I was talking about short before vs lefties I had Camargo in mind not Culberson. However, I would give both time over Swanson as I said.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Swanson is already semi part time anyway, if he doesn't start tomorrow it wouldn't surprise me. Bowman said that Snitker is going to continue to sit him against lefties and some RH, too.

As Enscheff says--watching Folty bat is sufficient reason alone for the NL to switch to the DH.
