The Atlanta Braves

[LotteryPick]

Acuna was unbelievably good tonight, at least. Dans probably needs to move up and Duvall needs to replace Kaks.

 

[Regulator]

Not necessarily. Had he made the right calls to move runners over and they just didn’t execute, then it would be on the players.

Pretty sure players are familiar with the basics of the game.

(anybody gonna call out freddie)

 

[GAVol]

Some of you all are simply thick in the head. They got a guy on, got him to third and a sac fly won the game. ABC baseball is about more than bunting

Got him to 3rd on a fielder's choice. Stop acting like we'll all catch amnesia and believe it was on purpose.

With a bunt cleverly disguised as a ground ball

Who the hell said it had to be a bunt for the cards? The Braves’ scenarios called for a bunt, at least when runners were on second.

It feels awful to do that, but I think you have to. He's got to figure out a way to put the bat on the ball

 

[Switch 625]

Snit should order up some ground balls then

Better than unproductive pop ups. Believe it or not, good hitters try to hit ground balls to advance the runner

You’re the one that brought up the bunt. Most of the people in here could lap circles around you in baseball knowledge so don’t act like you’re some high and mighty baseball savant that is doing us a favor and blessing us with all of your derivative bullsh**

 

[GAVol]

Math likes it too.

It's funny how people refuse to get that.

Yeah... A ground ball with runners on 1st and 2nd is always a great idea.

Haha half a step away from still playing

Ground balls rule!!

I guarantee he mans up and takes blame for the loss, which means nothing, but he knows he’s gotta get it together.

That and the DP

WTF are you talking about? I comment that Snit should have made the right call when Acuna was on second with no outs and people start attacking. You have no idea about my baseball IQ.

 

[volsarelife1]

I get it, but that's just today's game. Nobody bunts much anymore. Color analyst even said "I like taking 3 shots at driving him in".

As lost as Freddie is, I seriously might safety squeeze on the first pitch here.

 

[Switch 625]

Yeah... A ground ball with runners on 1st and 2nd is always a great idea.

How about a runner on second or third with 0 outs?

 

[Regulator]

Handicapping ourselves with the double switch. Start him cause he’s a better player right now and start him cause you obviously want to play him. Dickin around with ass bench players in the 6 hole

If they’re gonna stick with the same starters, then they gotta flip Joyce and Dansby.

If Ronald were 2-16 can you imagine the talk we’d get

That is where I'm at. I know he is hurting but jesus man, at least give the runner a chance. He isnt even close right now.

 

[GAVol]

When a guy looks as hopeless as Freddie did, you can't help but think of that. I'm not talking about a sac bunt in that situation. I'm talking about finding a way to get a guy in from 3rd. Two different things.

He struck out btw.

 

[Switch 625]

If they’re gonna stick with the same starters, then they gotta flip Joyce and Dansby.

I’d like to see Duvall get the start.

 

[TBrown]

There’d be none. Quit trying to creative a narrative

 

[Wickman]

Scotty’s avi still has time to come in clutch. Braves til it ain’t

 

[Florida Stanley]

Freddie has been our best player for almost a decade. Ronald has been playing for a little over a year. Not the same thing.
