GDT: Mutts @ Braves: 50th Anniversary of Hank Aaron Breaking the HR

[bravesnumberone]

We've played 8 games and Pierce Johnson seems to be out there every night. Jimenez has pitched in four games, so I don't know how the usage is being doled out. I know Chavez is everybody's darling, but we need another serious RH arm out there or we're going to wear Johnson out.

I would imagine Giles will be up soon one way or the other. Building him up and we're bound to have an injury at some point. This is what happens, though, when your starters can't put hitters away and the expectation is they have to be pulled after 90ish pitches.

Snitker not awake to challenge that call at 2nd is something.

He was awake but he couldn't leave the dugout until he found his bunny rabbit slippers.

PS This game is over.

Must be nice to have a leadoff hitter that doesn't ground out or k every AB

It'd be even nicer if he weren't playing for the Mets.

Outscored 8-1 since the broadcasters ran Dusty out of the booth early.

Man, what a garbage game. Braves have 3 outs left bc Diaz ain't giving up crap

Shoewalter would have brought him on in the 7th for a 9 out save.

Prime spot for a TDA double play.

Smith wants this game

 

[msstate7]

Pitch con problems is the biggest farce in the game

 

[bravesnumberone]

Right back to our strikeout after strikeout after strikeout bull****.

 

[msstate7]

Hopefully this ground ball will find a hole

 

[msstate7]

Man, this ump is killing us

 

[USMA76]

How can this ump be consistently this bad? Acuña should be on first now.

Edit: RAJ walks on ball five.

Here comes the laziest swing for a lazy pop out for Ozzie.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Here comes the Ozzie bouncer to first.
