direct result of the WORST “strength” training program in all of MLB. Sad!
Now, I know you're just funnin. It just hit me. You're too smart to really believe that. Good one.
Elder tonight, we know who want be watching
As in FB,I will check the scores to determine if I watch or not. If trends hold, I won't be among the watchers. Who knows? The offense might even be awake 2 nights in a row. Michael Harris seemed to chase bad pitches less after his benching. Seems to have had some good AB's and a couple of hits. Maybe something is starting to happen, Trust but verify is my motto.
@philipsmith99 Elder=loss. He has a 5.82 e.r.a (6.61 at home). And his 57 strikeouts ties him for 113th. I dont mean to get down on the guy. Maybe he had some good seasons in the past, but not this year.
He has been the least productive starter for sure - not counting young Didier yet
Tonight going as expected
Going into the 8th inning, Braves have 3. count 'em, 3 hits. One would think they were facing Cy Young on the mound tonight. Well, it does save me some time by not having to watch their feeble effort tonight.
When is Snitker announcing his retirement? Hopefully today! Please also take Elder & Didier with him into retirement. Bring up anybody with a pulse…please!
Didier is going to be fine. Do you recall that young lefty that got batted around his first year and half on the team? Could barely last in games. The Braves didn't give up on him and he turned out ok. Now I remember. His name was Tom Glavine.
I guess one can't fire a whole team, so maybe it's Snit's time. I'd rather he got to resign at the end of the year. They aren't going anywhere anyway.
Yeah, we could let it play out that way, while also announcing to the market he’s going to retire at years end. Sort of solves both problems. Snit saves the embarrassment and we are still first on the leagues radar for a new coach.
Hate to see it cause I like the guy, but….
Grant Holmes with another strong start. Throws one bad pitch and gives up a homer. Still, lowers his ERA to 3.44, not bad for a guy thought to be our # 5 starter. Braves' response - 0-6 with RISP. Just terrible. Only 4 guys in the starting lineup today who have an OPS at or above the MLB average. Braves down 2-0 going into the 9th. Maybe fans should boycott or start wearing bags over their heads.
