Unknøwn Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Friday, 7:20 Kevin Gausman vs Max Fried Saturday, 7:20 Logan Webb vs Drew Smyly Sunday, 1:20 TBD vs TBD (Likely Ian Anderson) At 83-44 the Giants have the best record in MLB. Theyve won 5 straight and 8 of 10. Theyve allowed the second fewest runs in MLB. Teams are hitting .223 against them. Their 193 HR are the most in MLB.

Unknøwn Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Posey is having a resurgence. Hes hitting .314/.408/.517. Crawford also found the fountain of youth. Hes hitting .296/.362/.524 This series will not be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For the A Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 With not splitting with the NYY. Getting 2 of 3 is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Giants are coming into the series with some health questions. 2B Donovan Solano and hitting coach Justin Viele remain under quarantine in New York. Solano tested positive for COVID-19 before their game on Thursday. C Buster Posey has been out since leaving Tuesday's game early due to knee discomfort. His back-up, Curt Casali, had to come out of the game Thursday after feeling dizzy after taking a foul off the mask. 1B Brandon Belt is on bereavement leave to attend his grandmother's funeral. He is expected to be out Friday and Saturday. ATLBham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLBham Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I got a gut feeling we're gonna either win 2/3 or sweep this series. Mets should have gotten at least 2 out of them but they were remarkably unclutch. If Braves can pitch well and make timely hits I think we're going to win this series.

Over hitting .254 with a .769 OPS, but is even worse over the last two weeks with a .129/.229/.161 slash line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I really hate my local station that plays the Braves games cause they always cut the Braves off in order to broadcast high school sports. It’s sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
