gdt 9.12.19: the unbearable silence of the neighsayers

[thewupk]

Teheran ****ing sucks tonight. There’s really no reason for him to continue. We have pitchers who could use some work.

One thing about julio. You know early if hes on or not. And if hes not then it will get ugly.

 

[thewupk]

And at this point all I really care about the rest of the season is for Acuna to get 40-40

 

[thewupk]

Haha Duvall owns lefties hard.

 

[Braves1976]

you knew Duvall wouldn't get beat on fastball twice, gotcha.

 

[drewdat]

DUUUVAL(L)

 

[Braves1976]

Haha Duvall owns lefties hard.

yea he kills lefties but sucks vs most righties.

 

[nsacpi]

Well, and that whole pesky win the division thing.

I simply can't take it for granted. I've seen other teams blow a 7.5 game lead with 17 left in consecutive years. Granted it was the Mets but (with apologies to Yogi Berra) you haven't clinched until you've clinched. It that makes me a nervous Nellie, so be it..

 

[msstate7]

Should be 2nd and 3rd

Which is why hes a platoon player.

It's a formality at this point.

The one I think back to (other than the '11 Braves, obv) is the year the mid-90s Angels blew like a 10 or 12 game lead in the last month.

 

[CyYoung31]

Why is he keeping Teheran in the game?

 

[salmagundy]

McCann runs to long in one place. Harper had a chance to get him at 2nd.

Add insult, Swanson hits into DP 7-6 as McCann stands at 3rd shaking his head.

 

[Hulavol]

He is saving the bullpen for the weekend’s final deathblows....

 

[salmagundy]

Nats 1-0 Top 1st on Rendon HR

Twins fight back to tie it at 1 in Bot 1st

[Braves1976]

Does Ortega count as a pinch hitter? JK.

 

[salmagundy]

Hughes replaces Smyly

Ortega PH for Teheran-- 1-23 and a GO makes it 1-24

I do believe he's played himself out of any PS consideration.

if "runs too long in one place" means "he's the slowest runner in Braves history," then yeah.
