GDT 8/8/21: Gnats @ Braves - Intresting Lineup

[zbhargrove]

In august,
5 outings 3.1 ip 8 h 3 er 2 bb 3 k

Maybe it's overwork, but I don't think that's good. Maybe you figure out the whip, FIP, etc to set me straight

Of those 5 outings though... only one has been bad (today) and one other was just touchy (didn't effect the outcome)... its completely normal to go through "not good" stretches... happens to every reliever.

I will say though... probably shouldn't come in a high leverage situation until he's proven he's over it.

 

[zbhargrove]

Seems pitchers like Rich Rod and Matzek who suffered some of the biggest dips in spin rate after stickygate have made adjustments and are back to pitching well again. I hope its real.

Yes, but Chavez just isn’t going to get the benefit of the doubt considering his career arc.

Perhaps so. I don't feel that strongly about him to be honest. I do think he's a time bomb, but he's been a godsend for his good stretch.I feel much more strongly about cutting greene and getting minter up

Martin for the 9th? Oh hell.

I'm down to cut Greene since a month ago

 

[msstate7]

Ph, Robles, Escobar. If we see Zimmerman, we'll probably go extras.

I was down to never re-sign him in the first place.

Or a three-run jack to make it 6-5.

That too... although at that point I was okay with seeing any kind of new body in the pen.

 

[CyYoung31]

I’m not sure Martin is a good matchup against this punch-n-judy bunch. We’ll see.

 

[msstate7]

I don't think Riley makes that catch

 

[thewupk]

Freeman made that look easier than it was

 

[bravesnumberone]

Damnit.

 

[msstate7]

Well crap

maybe they found a better way to hide it?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I was hoping for a clean ninth that wouldn’t stress me out

 

[msstate7]

I miss ground balls from Martin

 

[thewupk]

that was not like Duvall at all. damn. and how is that not an error?

 

[4maddux_cy's]

Jumping at the wall to make a catch isn’t routine. I have no problem with it not being ruled an error.
