SATURDAY GAME THREAD vs Marlins 5/12/18

[Braves1976]

Joey Bats cost us this inning, Camargo or RF makes that play.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Lol so many bad hitters yet so many runs.

 

[striker42]

Brooks Robinson at third probably makes that play one time in three.

 

[Enscheff]

Cant throw 94 sinkers there.

 

[thewupk]

And when you can't command your pitches this in what happens. Missed his spot by a foot.

BUT IT WAS A STRIKE!

of course it was a strike, the batter swung at it.

Bautista didn’t move until the ball was halfway to him.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Flowers keeps asking for the fastball up and Soroka is leaving it in the heart of the zone.

 

[salmagundy]

And Soroka gives the lead right back. Hernandez doesn't the theory about shutdown innings. Take game 2 vs Fish as an example. McCarthy gave back every run the Braves scored plus.

The point is using strike percentage to gauge command is stupid.

 

[striker42]

I swear that our luck has been awful since the Mets sweep. So many rockets hit right at guys and so many weak hits given up.

 

[Hawk]

could have been worse

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Time for Bautista to go! Two of the hits were legit but he wasn't even close to good enough there!

Hard to be ready at 20 years old. I'm fine with him taking his lumps at the big leagues unless another option emerges (gohara/allard/Fried)

It's also stupid to bitch about Folty's lack of command when Newk is historically worse but that doesn't stop you from doing it.

 

[Braves1976]

Right, he was REALLY SLOW and RF and Camargo would've came in straight away most likely. If so, I think that's a likely out. Camargo has a great arm too.

 

[thewupk]

But you deemed him ready based on his starts at AAA and first MLB outing.

 

[striker42]

Bautista didn’t move until the ball was halfway to him.

Gotta barehand it no matter who's playing third. It's a low percentage play. Bautista had no chance but odds are its a hit no matter what.

Pass until further information cones in in both. I'm more interested discussing soroka tonight.

 

[Hawk]

if chip caray is ****ting on you (as he just did to bautista) then you know you are the end of your rope.

 

[Freshmaker]

on the plus side, Soroka did strike out the side #silverlining
