GDT - 9.29: Game 1, Nats at Braves - last regular-season series of 2023

What in the hell? Alright, I know this game doesn’t matter, but we’re got to try and make routine plays

 

[zbhargrove]

Welp this game has sure turned… can we at least get a homer or two?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

The Nationals crushing while we don’t have a single homer is hilarious lol

Baseball is a funny game sometimes

 

[UNCBlue012]

What the hell lmaoo

 

[zbhargrove]

Wtf… 3 errors in an inning??

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

In another note, getting closer to saying bye bye to the Cubbies

 

[UNCBlue012]

They did my dude Chavez dirty lol

But seriously, let’s hit some homers

Poor Cubbies

 

[CyYoung31]

Since the Braves won’t even tie the franchise record for wins, I cannot in good conscience consider them an all-time great team regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

 

[zbhargrove]

Didn’t realize Ronnie tied Mookie for RBIs tonight.

 

[msstate7]

Cubs lose again after tying it in 9th. They're done

 

[CyYoung31]

I can't believe we are letting a bunch of low to mid-80's win teams into the playoffs. What a disgrace. I'm sure one of them will make the NLCS too.

 

[Nerfherders]

Damn, scored six but no HR's.

Still not nearly as bad as the NBA. You have a decent shot at making the playoffs with a 35-47 record, lol. That’s really ridiculous

A bunch? It's 2 teams that meet that criteria.

 

[The Tariff King]

Damn, scored six but no HR's.

The cooler air in the evenings has really killed a few balls the last few days. Ozzie would have been out in summer. Riley hit a line drive the other night that's easily out in summer.

 

[Carp]

Austin Riley’s had a great year, but his struggles with RISP are perplexing. He’s hitting .200/.321/.754. That’s shockingly bad for a hitter of his caliber.

Is 754 his SLG? If so, that is pretty crazy. Obviously, you'd rather the average be better though.

 

[drewdat]

It's OPS

 

[CyYoung31]

A bunch? It's 2 teams that meet that criteria.

Yes, two in one league, which is the normal now. It used to be rare that you’d get one low to mid 80’s win team in. Now it’s common to get two. It’s ridiculous.

Is it?

The 6 WC teams last year had win totals of 101, 92, 90, 89, 87, 86

This year your going to have two of the Marlins/Cubs/Reds/Dbacks with truly mid to low 80s win totals among all the WC teams.

Seems too early to tell how it will usually play out going forward.
