The NOT August 12 2017 Gamethread

This could have been worse.

His WHIP is going to get killed because of one game like the Nats difference in score in one game.

His ERA will take a hit as well but not as bad as it could have been.

 

[Garmel]

We have to score quick before the Brewers' bullpen comes in.

Again, it's actually not that great outside Hader, Jeffress, and Burnes.

 

[AerchAngel]

I want Ender benched. Just like Andruw when he messed up by loafing.

 

[Enscheff]

Yeah. I almost get the feeling Albies has Furcal syndrome. He's trying to hit HRs instead of slapping the ball around.

It's as if someone had said the same thing about Albies hitting too many FBs a year ago...

 

[Enscheff]

The melt down here is hilarious haha!

The Braves are down by 1 run...

 

[CyYoung31]

And of course our offense promptly gets shut down the next inning.

 

[msstate7]

Why not use Julio here?

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Honestly wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if Albies showed back up as 2016 Mississippi/Gwinnett Albies next year. It's none of my ridiculous sh*t, but he actually likely is a true .260-.270 bat if he keeps at a 40% fly ball hitter.

 

[CyYoung31]

At least we clear Flaherty.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Chip needs to stop sugarcoating Ryan Flaherty's awful year.

 

[Enscheff]

Newk is showing why he's a "stuff #4". The "stuff" allows him to pitch a no-hitter, but the inconsistency leads to him producing as a #4 overall.

In his first 167 games, he's at 5.3 fWAR and 4.7 bWAR. This definetely screams send him down

 

[UNCBlue012]

I absolutely love Flaherty. Dude is just the best!!!

I wish chip would tell it like it is...AA is a moron to still have flaherty taking up a roster spot in a playoff race

You really have a problem reading don't you?

Again

Half of what I was doing was reverse jinxing.

 

[msstate7]

So you support sending albies down too? Wow

 

[Enscheff]

The Brewers are giving a PA to a pitcher in the 5th of a 1 run game...

 

[Enscheff]

Chip seems surprised a pitcher is pinch hitting for the pitcher. In a close game (early on), it's actually smart.

LOL why is it smart? How many more times is the 9th spot in the lineup going to bat?

They just gave away a PA in a 1 run game rather than getting Shaw or Thames a PA with the platoon advantage.
