One of the ESPN guys just said "There was a perception guys, within the Braves organization that down the stretch Ozuna really wanted to hit his 40th homer of the year. He was trying for that down the stretch. He was overswinging. Now that we're in the posteason it's a reset"
This is a team built around homer or bust, so Ozuna swinging for the fences every at bat to get to 40 home runs is a feature, not a fault.
Yep, he's burning Bummer for the entire series. Gotta keep Duke and Chavez fresh so we can only have one LHP available for 2 straight do or die games.
So remind me why we started a guy that has less than 30 major league innings and hasn’t pitched in the majors since May? I mean I know we’ve had a ton of injuries but there seriously wasn’t a better option?
Who knew our season long issues with RISP would continue in the postseason? The saddest thing is we can’t even put the ball in play with risp to at least make the defense make a play
Let Kelenic take a shot at King if we get some guys on base again. Can't do any worse than the righties
it is so funny that it's taken until game 163 for snit to figure out bummer is good. he has elite numbers since may and snit just refused to use him in important spots. incredible bit tbh. he’s managed so well this year btw
And so the response is to pitch him 4 innings in a game we are never going to win and wash him for the rest of the series. Snit is always 4 steps ahead.
i would like to apologize for saying snit realized bummer is good because that’s clearly not what’s happening here. he thinks the game is over and is using bummer to eat innings. so he’s somehow confirming his beliefs even tho the actual events happening confirm how dumb he is lucky to have him tho. should be manager of the year
Lando consistently swings at pitches that are literally 6-12 inches off the plate. Like, 1-2 times an at bat consistently. And we're just like "well he's a hacker!"
Just another example of Snit not being able to use the bullets he should have had in that trusty ole gun of his.
Right after the final out was recorded last season. Proof AA isn’t reading this thread like he should be.
wow way to bump a post showing how dumb and wrong you are. this team is hoping for a wild card exit at best
