GDT: Royals @ Braves: Everything's For Sale

[The Tariff King]

It was the wrong move, period. Calling out a move as wrong is not getting worked up, no matter how happy everyone is after a win.

Snit jr should have had 2 guys warming up. One for a 4 run lead (which is actually debatable) and one for a larger lead. It is a very common practice.

The whole point in moving on from Snit was to have a competent tactician in charge. The only tactical move that needed to be made tonight was incorrect. It’s ok to call it out. It doesn’t mean you hate the Braves.

So what you're saying is season has been ruined and we aren't beating the Dodgers for the pennant.

That was a lot more fun than watching Hector Neris try to hold on to a 2-run lead.

Hold on to any lead, really.

My brain is still processing the fact they're using thats sample of the old 90's TBS theme for every outro and intro of the game.

This is may just be the secret sauce we need!

Certainly feels a lot better than the start of last year... let's hope our hodgepodge of a rotation can have some luck for a month of two before legit reinforcements.

Underrated play of the game: The forum name change. Not too flashy, not too much. But effective and already paying dividends.

The Walt Weiss of name changes

Unfortunately not Enscheff approved.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER!

So? The BP has multiple mounds for exactly that scenario.

Weiss blew it, and he’s likely to blow it often because he’s an idiot.

He was already warmed up. So your plan instead was to burn 2 pitchers with 13 straight games to start the season?

Warming up 2 pitchers with a 4 run lead in game 1 with 13 straight games...

LMAO, you need to look in the mirror when talking about "Snit Jr." Because that's totally something Snit would have done.

Chris Sale was a little rusty- but much better start than last year, and he gave up no runs and ate the innings. SOLID

The Offense - up and down the card - except for just one scrub - everyone got on base - SOLID

And the POWA from MH2 and Ozzie was so great to see - SOLID - and AR and Drake and Olson- SOLID SOLID SOLID

And that bullpen - VERY SOLID!

Love it !

Game ball- Walter Weiss for win number one and a great job of not burning an extra reliever and putting Ozzie in at three

Not starting 0-7 sure as hell makes me happy.

But this happiness may disappear when Reylo is throwing 86 tomorrow.

 

[Hulavol]

Reylo is gonna eat innings and get into and out of trouble… he might not have the gas - but he might - and either way, he actually knows what he’s doing. All we gotta do is score some runs and we got it covered…

 

[The Tariff King]

Reylo is ramping up for midseason.

 

[Hulavol]

Reylo’s junk balls don’t need ramping - and that’s the brilliance of Walter Wiess - after having to face the gas of Sale and Suarez, KC is going to be way off their timing of Reylo’s slow ass garbage. Pure genius.
