Finally, over .500, 1-3 leadoff batters have to improve to stay there and contend. Go Braves. 😎
Bullpen…. What the HELL was that? Lately, it seems when our starter goes out and we have a decent lead, we come close to blowing the game. Tonight we actually blew the game. I know it happens, but it would be nice to be able to coast to a comfortable win when we are up 3-4 runs in the 7th or 8th inning.
Ouch. That one hurt. Let's get 'em tomorrow Braves.
Dang bullpen!!!
I feel like a no-nothing after my previous negative post about the bullpen.
Snitker talks about their fatigue and heavy usage in this article.
Brian Snitker tried to explain Braves' bullpen plan and it only made things worse
Relief pitcher starts eighth. Gives up crushed home run but saved by great catch by Harris. Next batter 143ba, 0-3, crushes a double to right. Next batter hits a rope single to left and then steals second. Then someone wakes up Snitker and he replaces the pitcher who has been throwing batting practice. TOO LATE! Red Sox ties game and wins in ninth with walk off homer.
Snitker seems like a good guy but his best days as a manager are behind him. Time to find a winner.
Now that’s more like it, way to bounce back fellas!
Pretty cool moment in the game today with the Braves leading 10-4. Ozuna had just crushed a homerun that leaves Fenway. His second of the series. Then gives the bat to a couple visiting from Dawsonville. Bucket list item of their's to watch the Braves in Fenway.
Needless to day, they were thrilled.
And the Bravos finally got some hitting all through the lineup. Except for 1 inning, Schwelly was pretty dominant. Day of rest tomorrow and then…Strider, perhaps? Can't wait to get him back.
Can we get rid of one of Bummer and Montero and call up Kimbrell!!!
I think it was Montero who threw “batting practice” in the eighth yesterday?
