GDT 9/11/23: Braves @ Phillies - DH Game 1

and why is Eddie still in.... never mind..

 

[thewupk]

those runs are on Twit.. 100%.

now if JJ gets out of this, it should be Riggy for the 8th and Minter for the 9th.. but we know it won't.

You do realize lefties have hit Minter pretty well this year right?

 

[buck75]

That lead off walk hurt

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Pulling Lee after getting Harper out was a smart move that I did not expect Snit to make.

it was an easy move, but with the double header, it might not have been easy..Twit will have to use all the big guns now.. We have Yates/Hand/Stevenson/PeircedDick tonight.

come on.. do you really think Twit knows that and it factors into his decision at all... Twit knows one truth.. minter in 8th.. riggy 9th.. unless rest is required.

Pache has some good numbers in very limited AB’s.

 

[buck75]

Thanks ump (on strike three to Castellanos).

 

[chop2chip]

What’s a shame is that Brad Hand was acquired for that exact scenario to face Schwarber and Harper. I really hate how he’s been utilized since we acquired him.

Did you know those numbers? If you did you wouldn't be crying about Iggy in the 8th and Minter in the 9th

 

[bravesfanMatt]

good thing one of our best relievers got to mow down the bottom of the order.. 4d chess.

 

[buck75]

LHBs are hitting .290 against Minter while RHBs are hitting about .198 against him.

Yep. Mostly against LHPs.

career .580 OPS versus lefties.. I trust those better than a fluke SSS for a season.. And now Riggy has to get through Turner not to face Harper as the tying or winning run.

What happened in past seasons is ancient history for relievers

God I hate Tre Turner

you guys seriously looking at 70ish PA versus career to prove some point.. if Lefties hit him better then why do managers pinch hit righties versus him.. come on..

Sorry I hurt some feelings being mean to twitner.. he is a 'really good' manager.. he does really good and his decision are really good.

I won't give him the satisfaction.

I’m not criticizing Snit at all (just putting out some stats).

 

[buck75]

Let’s see if Iggy can get his change-up over to LHBs.

Just stop. Iggy is one of the best relievers in baseball this season and the best releiver on the team. Wanting him to pitch the 8th and not the 9th is just idiotic.
