Also notice how he fouled off good pitches instead of trying to pull a ball on the outside of the plate. That’s the difference in approach that cost the Braves this series
I’m dead serious, especially with a few of their guys, just fucking hit them if they’ve fouled off 3-4 straight. They get comfortable and the AB is already over
We’ve had some big hits, but we have not had very many good ABs these last 4 games. The differences in AB quality is astounding.
Yup just fuck all of this and I better never see Markakis in Braves Jersey again. I'm still pissed we didn't have him bunt them over since he will always find a way to over fuck us over
Their ability to foul off multiple good pitches every AB, and never put a weak ball into play on those defensive swings is absolutely fucking maddening. Both Bellinger and Hernandez just nicked 2-3 out pitches and then did their damage.
And if it were just one or two guys doing it, I could write it off to them being young or just really aggressive at the plate. When it is the whole team though, that is coaching and it all comes back to Snit.
100%. In 7 games, its as if not a single person has talked to Ron or 3-4 other guys about their approach.
Every one of their ABs is just like that Fred AB, and it’s one of our best ABs of the series. Whoever their hitting coach is, dude needs a raise.
Meth, we don't need him nodding out over there at first base. Plus he'll be so juiced he might just rob the Dodgers of their next home run.
