Reminds me of our GDT. Did they think that team had a shot with that depleted bullpen.
of which i'll be in attendance for 5 of the 7
is he just a better hitter against the braves jersey or is it small sample size stuff?
is that more likely to continue or even out?
i thought we did. but they asked for acuña.

Yeah, that didn't play out. In my weak defense, at the time of the post, the braves were booting balls and ender had just let Braun take 2nd of a single to left center

I realize 202 PA isn't a large sample size, but it's the 2nd biggest number of PA for him vs a certain team. In the 202 PA, he is .302/.426/.597 with 38 walks to 24 strike outs. He kills the braves

Errors didn't bother near as much as Braun taking an extra base on ender. Shouldn't have happened... regardless, I was wrong, and braves won. Great week for braves
but why does he hit better vs the braves? he just likes hitting vs them? i'm just not sure it makes a ton of sense. we have a lot of different pitchers from 2015 when he slugged vs us. lots of different guys from 2016 too. i just don't know why he'd magically hit better vs the braves.

Perhaps our scouting report sucks.
i think it's more likely to even out than continue. so we'll see

I imagine there are a lot of guys with good numbers against the Braves over the last 4 years or so. When you're rebuilding a cobbling together a pitching staff with what's at hand, you're going to give up lots of hits. When we had Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz plying their trade I imagine there were a lot of guys who had bad numbers against the Braves.
lol. I keep telling you that the Nats aren't doing ****. Great team on paper in the spring of 2018 but the results speak for themselves so far.

Let's just keep up the routine until they find themselves down 8-9 games.
right. so he just likes hitting against guys in a braves jersey, despite very different pitchers from 2015 to now?
i'll say again i'd expect regression more than a continuation.

Hope you're right. The Phillies plan is that it won't this season though, I'm sure
