GDT - August 7th, 2018 - Game 1 of 2 - 1:05 @ Nationals

[atl717]

Allard is a damn turd. Get in the weight room kid.

 

[jpx7]

This is on AA. What a DA move to have allard for this DH

Not caring to look at the recent AAA schedule, I probably would've opted for Wes Parsons, were he rested and ready.

 

[Enscheff]

As bad as that inning was, it could have been MUCH worse with unlucky sequencing.

The Braves have been very lucky so far today (minus 104 to Fried's ribs).

 

[msstate7]

Allard for long relief was the plan before the game started.

I'm, not sure how anyone blames this on Snit...

Allard is pretty clearly not a MLB SP.

I agree at the moment on allard, and I'm definitely worried he'll ever be now. With that said, this series was way too important to have allard as insurance

 

[msstate7]

Ok? I don't see it as a problem. We are getting confirmation that Allard just doesn't have it. In 1 game that's fine. If he keeps getting spot starts then it's a problem.

This isn't the series to experiment. When we lose 3 or God help us, 4, you might see it differently

No different than any other series

That's my favorite CD that I play in my crib.

Getting swept and still ahead of the Nats

Yeah, nothing to worry about if that happens.

Because he was left longterm while being destroyed. The initial use is fine with me. Heck, I'm glad he's getting experience. But you take him out after the fourth or fifth hit he gave up. It's comprehension.

 

[DaneHill]

At least you guys don't have to watch the Nats' broadcast. It's insufferable.

 

[thewupk]

Yeah, nothing to worry about if that happens.

No different than getting swept by another team and having the Nats win 4 in a row.

Momentum is huge in a series like this and it's looking highly probable that the Nats will be riding a doubleheader sweep going into tomorrow.

 

[Enscheff]

The Nats getting hot was always the real problem facing the Braves in the NL East, and is why they didn't go bigger with trade deadline acquisitions.

Hopefully the Braves have a little more "everything goes right" fairy dust laying around somewhere.

 

[msstate7]

Fried = left groin sprain

 

[Enscheff]

Down 4-1 in the first game of a DHer, and they use up Venters for the day?

I can't defend this move...

Yep. We lose 3 of 4, we done in the east imo

 

[msstate7]

Venters in... yah, snit. Use him every day

 

[Super]

i'd have rather had wisler out there than allard.

 

[msstate7]

Zimmerman taking an extra base on us. Great game, braves
