tl;dr 9,417 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 We need to take care of business tomorrow and then this weekend. The Nats and Phillies play this weekend, so there is an opportunity to gain ground on Philly or put some distance between us and the Nats. If our pen does add some outside help soon (still think we need it), we are going to be in this thing. I'm not so sure Philly isn't going to have issues down the stretch in their locker room.

Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Mariners roared out of the gate at 13-2 and have gone 5-13 since to reach 18-15 for the season. They are this year's Mets. But this right here is why I don't get too hung up on the Braves getting off to a slow start. Nothing is determined in the first 3 weeks of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknøwn 13,299 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Braves have 3 games where the SP didnt walk anyone this year. All 3 belong to Fried. Falconsfan567, Drew4719, tl;dr and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
007dawg 607 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hopefully Kimbrel won't sign with anyone and we can get him the day after the draft so we won't lose the draft pick and slot money. Something tells me we already have a verbal agreement with him. I'd give him 3 years at $12-$13M per if he will wait until then. Maybe wishful thinking, but.....

Unknøwn 13,299 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Snitker is holding Donaldson out for extreme precaution. Snitker did say he is available and could PH in todays game. Culberson starts for the second day in a row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately this seems to be a very minor injury that we are just being super cautious with. His average isn't quite what we want, but he is getting on base. His OBP is higher than it was in his MVP season, so he is doing something right. Falconsfan567 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknøwn 13,299 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Jerry Blevins was the missing link But it could also be related to the fact theres no Biddle and Snitker is leaning more on Tomlin, Jackson and Webb ATL Fan in the DMV, JDFIII, falconsd56 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jidady 9,467 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Good lord, that play was almost doubly disastrous for us. Thank God everyone's okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jidady 9,467 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Folty's shaken up mentally after that near-miss on the line drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 What a cluster**** this game turned into in the 5th inning. Amazing how Folty went from cruising to nothing all because of a bunt hit by the catcher to start the inning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jidady 9,467 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Okay, that sucked, but the legitimately great news is that he didn't get Corey Kluber'd. That ball could have hit him flush in the jaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRUju2111 1,475 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Well it seems as if the braves will be bottom feeders not worth paying attention to by june. Atleast our minor league system is loaded, they are helping us win a whole lot right now. This is depressing!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VoiceofReason95 385 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This whole game isn't on Folty but I think it's pretty clear that until he has his 2018 slider, he will not be Folty as his other secondaries are nowhere near that and he's not a guy that "pitches".
