GDT Thurs, 7/5 vs Brewers

[USMA76]

Not bad for a guy destined to be a .240 hitter!

I'll take "Let it Go" for $500, Alex.

fried hanging them early

 

[Enscheff]

So hard to tell with the eye test, but that first pitch looked like a 92 sinker down and in.

he worked pretty hard last start...i wouldn't be surprised if he is a bit off tonight

 

[Enscheff]

Man I wish the Braves had Yelich....and Cain

He’s going to be insanely good.

 

[Enscheff]

That curve

Didn't break my heart when we didn't have to face Yelich 18 times per year.

 

[Enscheff]

94 down and away to k Yelich. Was it a sinker?

 

[msstate7]

Look at location on last 2 fastballs (?). Nice, fried

 

[USMA76]

Coming in that ball, Muk's throw to the plate was pretty weak.

 

[UNCBlue012]

You absolutely cannot allow him to steal third base. Ugh.

 

[msstate7]

Flowers is 26/134 (.194) throwing out baserunners as a Brave

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

I don’t understand how people over here like our current catchers and every single game there 2 to 3 stolen base. They are not bad batting but let way to many guys to steal the base.

Hey, Mike Piazza.is in the HoF with worse numbers. Piazza may have been a little better at the plate, however.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Acuna has missed two homers by mere feet the last two games.

Throwing out runners is literally the least important aspect of a catcher’s job, especially in this day and age.

 

[Braves1976]

If Swanson falls up .700 OPS and keeps hitting for low average. I'd say have to start thinking about using Culberson at short, at least part time, since both are plus defenders at short and Culberson is hitting much better.

Yeah, but they'd have been "cheap home runs." LOL
