GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 4: Avoid the Death Blow

it’s wild to watch the bottom of the phillies order work every count while some of the braves best hitters look clueless

i would absolutely not call him lazy, that’s silly, but he still needs to do something besides stand there on that play IMO. yeah he booked it at the end when he realized how far away it was but it was too late at that point.

He needed to have more awareness of what ball park he was playing at. It sucks that he didn’t (btw… so did Harris who deserves as much or more scorn).

But ensheff is right. That play was 200 feet away. How often do RF run to CF on a play to LF? I’m going to guess it’s less than 1%. I am not going to get that worked up to find blame when bad luck is a perfectly acceptable explanation.
 
It's like they beat the Mets and shut down, not one part of the game looks good right now. The offense sucks, D is a step slow, and pitching has been awful.

It’s actually very entertaining watching you guys completely melt down and abandon all logic when faced with adversity, immediately after gloating about how awesome everything is with the organization.

In the last 20 minutes I’ve read the following pearls….

Acuna, the wrecklessly dumb player, is now lazy for not backing up a play 200’ away.

Solo homers are bad, and homers only matter is they come with men on base.

Harris is the next Heyward.

The team is not clutch exactly 12 months after being historically clutch.

A top 2-3 offense in the game can’t “string anything together”.

Did I miss any other moments of genius during the meltdown?

Especially when Acuña’s been told to pick his spots. It’s Harris’ fault. You either have to catch the ball or play it off the wall

Can’t help you with that as I never said any of it. I simply said not backing up that play was on Acuna and it was. But your pride can’t let it go that you were wrong

Two weeks after being historically clutch, even.
