GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

bro, we’ve had 3 days off in 5 days. There were stretches our best and middle relievers were pitching 3/4 4/5 days during the regular season.

game 1 was Saturday. We were off Sunday. Game 2 Monday. We were off yesterday. Worse case scenario they pitch Today AND tomorrow and then have ANOTHER day off Friday. Rest has been a plenty.

I'm not justifying the pitching decisions today. I'm just saying that I expect the staff to hold Philly in check tomorrow. Our offense is my concern
 
Oddly enough, I feel good about tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ve felt good about this team all series. I’m looking forward to it.

axtually I just watched his presser.

the best part was after that.

a reporter asked him if he had thought about walking Harper.


Snit said he would have been fine if he was unintentionally walked. But he didn’t wanna put another runner on. He then said I **** you not “I was hoping we’d make a good pitch and he’d pop up or ground out” but he “just happened to hit a homer there”.

this isn’t Rojas or Stott we’re talking about here. This is one of the best and most disciplined hitters in all of baseball, and our manager was riding on the the hope that Harper would pop up or ground out. With two runners on.

he would have been fine if Elder was wild and walked him. He didn’t ask Krani or TDA to just tell him to pitch around Harper. What the hell is he even thinking.

He also said he went to Tonkin because “that’s who we go to in that part of that game.” He seemed annoyed to even be asked.

He should be fired on that press conference alone. I am not even kidding. It is willful incompetence.
 
The path to advance was winning Strider's two starts against Ranger Suarez. At this point, we're a little fortunate to still have a chance. If we can't get either of them, we don't have any business being in the playoffs. Figure out a way to have some pitching available in October next year (or how to use it intelligently) and run it back.
 
Kind of stinks that the Braves have had rotten injury pitching luck two straight postseasons. But, baseball is a cruel sport sometimes.

He thinks it’s June. Someone tell him it’s October. Just amazing how bad he is at his job. Clueless!
 
Harper staring down Arcia twice and they didn’t put one in his ear hole? Harper is doing exactly what Arcia did and that’s giving the other team fuel. Arcia should have said something to him the 2nd time around.
 
So, Arcia admitted that he did say it, but that no one was meant to hear it as it was him joking around in the clubhouse.

Pretty douchey for Harper to take it so personal when Arcia wasn’t even really talking ****. Then again, the best competitors are usually douche bags.
