Sunday vs reds...Going for series win (no FF)

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nice first pitch out Flowers.....

 

[UNCBlue012]

Just cant get a big hit today.

Leadoff double twice, no runs.

1st and 2nd no outs, no runs. Bases loaded two outs, no runs. One of those days.

Sonny has been good, for sure. But goodness, we’re making it easy on him when it matters.

 

[Dalyn]

I’m begging Snit to make Flowers right the bench for a while.

Just bat Mac in all situations with RISP.

Flowers needs to take a rest on the IL. Jackson can certainly replace him for two weeks.

 

[msstate7]

Should've said F it there, and brought FF up as PH

 

[Enscheff]

I noticed that as well.

Most people have the game on but aren’t actually watching, or know what to watch for.

So they just complain about the lack of a “big hit”.

 

[Heyward]

this lineup sucks, no Freeman and having Camargo and Flowers is a killer.

Way too many easy outs in there.

Right after a walk. Frustrating, to say the least.

 

[Heyward]

Should at least have 1, maybe 2.

 

[Braves1976]

i know, poor Teheran never much gets run support as it is and now he must think snit hates him, lol.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Way too many easy outs in there.

Yes. With Markakis, Freeman, McCann, and Swanson out today, the lineup takes a nose dive from the 5 spot on.

 

[nsacpi]

Nice work from Newk.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Newk looks awesome

At this point, do you pick up Flowers' 6 million club option? Wait until you see if you can McCann for another year?

I would ask Mac to come back for another year, and then just platoon him with Jackson.

Jackson surely couldn't be that much worse defensively or offensively than flowers. Saving that 6 million probably also went into AA's mindset for Melancon perhaps.

I'd pick up Nick's, and decline Flowers.

Flowers is still an elite pitch framer and worth 1.5 fWAR this year.

Flowers is still an elite pitch framer and worth 1.5 fWAR this year.

Which is good, but wasn't he at 1.7 fWAR the middle of June?

 

[Braves1976]

that was not strike three, low and inside to Acuna. BS call!

 

[thewupk]

Which is good, but wasn't he at 1.7 fWAR the middle of June?

I have no idea. His hitting has been horrible lately so he's likely declined overall.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Guys, we’re down three. A good strategy would begin with getting on base.
