Does good pitching beat good hitting or is the other way around, good hitting beats good pitching
I think its that first thing…..
at least in the playoffs!
Braves start the series with a 4-3 win against the Bluejays!
Elder pitched a 6 2/3 inning gem….6 hits 3 runs and 6 strikeouts! A Bullpen saver! Next, up came two parts of the Deathstar trio of Suarez and Iglesias (who now has 29 consecutive saves!). No need for D. Lee in this one!
Olson with his 17th HR of the year….that’s second in the league! Coupled with a double he fell one short of tying the franchise record of most extra base hits in 61 games (Aaron and Freeman with 37)….Just bringing it!
Weiss still chasing wins! Leon with a perfectly timed ABS challenge overturning the ball call for a third strike, third out for Suarez in the eighth! Just can’t make this stuff up!
Gotta love these guys!
definitely a "gritty" win. Not much offense after the 3rd inning, other than Olson's HR. But good pitching kept the aliens from scoring. We were actually "outhit" but we had bigger hits. Tense there in the 9th with Iglesias giving up two hits but shutting the door on any scoring. Again, a "gritty" win. Not pretty but a win. I say we'll take it.
Absolutely! Every time!
Loved Iggy getting the strikeout and two infield pop-up outs to finish them off with ducks on the pond!
Just read where Drake Baldwin may return to active duty on July 16th or so. Can't wait.
Braves win again! Ozzie & Dubon with 3 run homers - winners 7 to 3!
Braves starters - Sale 8 wins 3 losses
Elder 5 wins 3 losses
Holmes 4 wins 2 losses
Strider 3 wins 1 loss
Perez 3 wins 3 losses
Lopez 2 wins 1 loss
Ritchie 1 win 1 loss
Braves win, Braves win, Braves win! Stylin’ with two three run homers!
And coupled with the lowest ERA in the majors, is outstanding!
Braves sit at 42-20…..62 games in with 100 to go.
They could go 50-50 here on out and end up 92-70 ( and I definitely see them doing better than that!)….Still most likely making the playoffs!
Walt’s way of chasing wins and banking them in his management of the games is working!
Whoda thunk it!?
Go Braves!
