Falconsfan567 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Braves down 1-0 after Charlie Blackmon's lead off homerun. As if they didn't give up enough homeruns in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jidady Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I just realized we're last in the majors in runs. So much for that whole "We'll score more runs than last season simply by cutting down our strikeouts" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 What does the ball being fair or foul have to do with Markakis not tagging? Joe you do know you can tag on a foul ball right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for that whole "We'll score more runs than last season simply by cutting down our strikeouts" thing.Yep. Same thing folks like me and k26dp kept preaching all offseason about the strikeouts. Less strikeouts does not and never will equal more runs scored. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me qualify the Wednesday game. I really see Shelby eventually getting a break. However, the Braves have been notoriously inept against young lefties we've not seen much of. I'm Afraid Shelby will have to wait another start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Flande was in the Braves system the entire 2013 season. Of course that doesnt mean that knowledge will translate to hits against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for that whole "We'll score more runs than last season simply by cutting down our strikeouts" thing.I'm not so sure anyone said less strikeouts directly means more runs scored. Especially when a big chunk of your run production was traded. The only problem I had with the Braves last year was their two-strike approach. I believe that is where a philosophy change needed to happen. I believe a team approach of trying to simply make contact with two strikes would have led to more runs this year, with the same personnel as last year.

Positive Thinker Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Shelby is cursedYou know, I don't think Fredi is creative enough to think of this, but just for craps and giggles, wouldn't a manager just try to show Shelby he is trying to help him out by just simply holding him back one day maybe to change the alignment of the planets, so to speak? I know it's all just a hunch, but worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mark Bowman seems to think Folty is learning despite the struggles. He pointed to his quotes after his last start that show he's starting to learn how the hitter thinks. He also mentions Folty "dialed it down against Miami and ramped it up against Chicago trying to find a happy medium". We'll see if he can get better results today.
