GDT: Braves @ Red Sox 5/26

Honestly, if Ronald and Swanson are back offensively that's bigger than winning one game here, as if others don't start slumping that might help the offense return.

Still might shuffle the lineup though.

I legitimately hate watching baseball in Fenway. It may be old and historic but it plays utterly ridiculous.

I love it. I hate boring stadia.

(Obligatory note: I also hate suburban stadia!)

Acuna and Swanson were not as bad as people were saying yesterday and nothing they did today should carry much weight in how they or the team are assessed in terms of what they are going to do the rest of this season.

To be fair, some of us never jumped on the full-on bandwagon in the first place. Still a week until my 1 June threshold for taking any of this "competing" stuff seriously.

You should always quote the silly comments when making posts like this haha.

I still think we can contend for a WC spot, but Nats are probably gonna run away with the division eventually once they get healthy.

Too good of a team not to happen.

I hate ridiculous walls and weird angles. It takes away from what players are actually doing and makes it more about where you happen to get lucky enough to have the ball go.

Fenway looks like a third grader was given a homework project of designing a stadium, forgot to do it, and tried to draw it out while on the bus.

Different strokes. I really like all those things you list as negatives. But I’m all about the

Bad news for the next few years is Mets, nats, and Phillies all have a legit TOR guy. Nola is a beast. We don't have that guy

We crap on Newcomb's command, but Folty has a major problem despite pitching well this year, no one is swinging at his secondaries. They're not good enough to swing at. He's benefitted from bad teams himself.

So he's most likely going to get waited out tomorrow, exactly like Newcomb. Maybe I end up being wrong, but I'll be shocked if I'm not.

And wait, New York is just pitching their rotation with the DH? Hmmm. Braves have been able to get to Thor though.

Props Acuna.

Lol, clearly with a 10.0 k/9 Folty his secondary pitches arent good

And he also has a BB/9 of 4.4.

And this is actually backed up by stats. He has problems getting hitters to chase, he's almost getting Ks by accident.

Look, maybe he pulls a surprise like he's been bound to do sometimes and hurls 8 shutout innings tomorrow with 11 strikeouts but it's more likely he gets shelled than that.

I still think Folty and Newk could become that, particularly Newk, but we need to make a move for a TOR pitcher. We’re a solid team, but we’re just screwing ourselves if we think we are there now. We need a TOR arm, big bat and some bullpen help. Still, we’re a good team
