Time to rally!

 

[Rabs]

Phillies and Nats both lost. This is another blown opportunity to gain a game if we can't score a freaking run all game.

You gotta be kidding me...

That sucked. Unnecessary jump by the RF too for extra drama.

Thinking glass half full, at least we stay 3 games up...

Agreed. Score runs tomorrow.

I know could be worse. Looked flat tonight.

Chance to add to the division lead. Phillies and Nats both lost.

 

[death2redemptions]

Well, at least Acuna is stringing together hits...as for everyone else, nothing.

 

[death2redemptions]

Acuna - .290 avg 21 HR 45 RBI .934 OPS 10 SB (43 XBH)

 

[death2redemptions]

With the exception of Acuna, our offense has simply looked lazy these past couple days, like there is no life in them.

 

[death2redemptions]

Another RISP opportunity that leads to nothing?

 

[death2redemptions]

0-3 RISP

 

[death2redemptions]

0-4 w/ RISP

 

[death2redemptions]

F'ing Chen has already struck out 7 Braves batters!? This guy ain't a strikeout pitcher but he's doing it against us like we're a bunch of nancy boy minor leaguers

 

[death2redemptions]

Marlins pitchers still throwing at Acuna I see....

 

[death2redemptions]

Every other Braves position player, please take notice of Acuna....he's the only one here playing like a major leaguer...he's already taken 22 pitches in his 3 at-bats today and reached every time. Fouling off bad pitches near the strike zone and not swinging at the junk stuff outside the zone, waiting for the pitch he wants and if he don't get it, he takes a walk.

 

[death2redemptions]

Even Freeman looks terrible at the plate.

 

[death2redemptions]

Ice cold Markakis at the plate with another RISP opportunity

 

[death2redemptions]

Yup, exactly as I expected...

0-5 w/ RISP
