Pitchers F up braves' pitching

Right? They’re the easy out. Yes, EASY is the correct word there.

Cain gets a hit. Is Newk trying to throw them trash? Gotta be better.

 

[CyYoung31]

This game is going to get ugly quick if Newcomb doesn’t stop serving up center cut fastballs.

Here is the Snitker slobfest.

This inning never happens if they turn that DP. It was a really slow turn. Not sure why

 

[UNCBlue012]

Chris Sale has nine strikeouts in four innings lol

 

[UNCBlue012]

The Brewers’ offense is so freaking good, though. Sadly for them, they have almost no chance in the playoffs due to crap pitching

 

[UNCBlue012]

I don’t know that this makes sense, but our pitchers pretty often serve up meatballs to starting pitchers. Like, most of their worst pitches go to pitchers. Why? Just pitch. Be smart.

It wasn't a great pitch but it was hardly a rocket. It was a 36 hopper that found a hole because Dansby was almost playing third

Newk fastball sitting around 92. I hope they are not tinkering with his delivery in hopes of getting more control at the cost of power. Or telling him to take some off

 

[jpx7]

I wish Newcomb would try.

 

[msstate7]

Dansby, you gotta punish that 0-1 slider. That was fat

 

[striker42]

Dansby hit that one hard but right at the right fielder

Confirmation bias. It's actually below league average but people are thinking its terrible because of so many horrendous games in memory, which this one will now go into too.

I'm wondering if Newk is hurt or they're trying to tinker to gain more control.

I'd walk Acuna if I were brewers

 

[striker42]

I'd walk Acuna if I were brewers

Good call

Glad you are not managing them!!

 

[msstate7]

Good call

Albies just isnt scary at the moment, and Acuna is becoming the beast promised

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I think SJ called Ronnie and struck a deal to get to 30/30

 

[striker42]

Acuna is a beast. And the scary thing is he's still pretty raw.
