DAMMIT!!! I freaking H-A-T-E Flithydelphia!!
Yuck!!!
Double yuck!!!
Agreed!
That would be sweet! They did that against the Marlins…..
Crapola. Just noted that Bryce Elder is on the hill tonight. No bueno.
Just a sarcastic question, who do you want the Braves to ein out there instead?
Great point. IDK - maybe he's the best option, but he doesn't raise very high hopes in me. Maybe one of their younger guys just to give him a taste. They can always pull the youngster after he gives up Elder's 5+ runs. Guess I'm just a bit dispirited.
Definitely not Quantrill. Right now we are left with Elder, Strider (pray he's got it fixed), Wentz, & Waldrep. I'd go with a bullpen game or Dylan Dodd before I trotted Quantrill back out there.
Albies is finally fully healthy, Harris is on fire, and Profar, Olson, Acuna & Baldwin are a great first four fairly consistently. Ozuna last 30 games is batting .209 but has 7 HRs & 20 RBIs and a very high 353 on base pct. which means pitchers are pitching around him fearing the extra-base hit. He's often batting in front of light hitting players Alvarez & Allen/Brujan. Think it's good to see him moved up into the lineup in front of hot hitting Harris & Murphy. Only problem here is Murphy is having the same kind of production having no one protecting him in the 7th spot. He's batting 141 over the last 30 games with only one homer, but a very high 302 OBP considering his average showing once again that our paltry 8 & 9 hole production is mostly killing the lineup overall.
Number one need offensively for next year - find a shortstop and fix the 8/9 hole lineup dilemma. Two years ago (23 season), our 7/8/9 holes batted the best in baseball and our lineup was fierce.
Now, it's a year-long joke!
Well shut my mouth. Elder gave us 7 strong innings - only 3 hits and one run. Can't expect much more than that from any pitcher. Bats quiet going into the 9th. Maybe a miracle?
Since I don’t get Apple TV, please keep up the play by play!!
Thanks!
Losing tonight by a final score of 2-1 is still a loss. It still is the same as losing in yesterday's 19-5 blow out. An "L" is still an "L", no matter what the final score is. AND?, I still cannot FREAKING stand the "Filthydelphia" Phillies!!!! GO BRAVES!!!
Nice start by Sale tonight. 6 innings pitched and 75 pitches. Only gave up one run, 3 hits with 9 K's. Pretty stout. Score tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 7th. I'm pretty sure we'll find a way to lose it.
Braves relievers have pitched 3 innings of scoreless ball, giving up only one hit. Braves take a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th. Can the pen hold the Phils?
Braves have only given up 4 hits in 9 innings, while garnering 9 themselves. Still, just a one run lead.
Alas, with 2 outs and the bags loaded, Braves up 2-1 in the bottom of the 10th, 2 strikes on Trae Tuner, Dylan Dodd gives up a single and Bravos lose 3-2. Oh, well.
