Well, when they bring in Sam Freeman you know management has admitted defeat.

That worked. Probably all he’s pitching.

 

[death2redemptions]

Unfortunately still safe. Need a DP.

And there it is...

Too bad a run was given up. We barely stood a chance when we were down a run...two runs is gonna feel close to impossible.

He went deep that time!!!! HR #22 for Acuna

Missed it.

Josh Donaldson traded to Indians. Wonder if he’ll get anything close in FA to what he could’ve gotten at the end of last season?

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Camargo!!!

These kids keep on showing up. Acuna showing the power to all fields and Camargo having a great first full season.

Now as far as Albies goes, he peaked too early lol.

Yeah, he needs more plate discipline and stop swinging at the first pitch. Should be the leadoff hitter but his discipline is bad.

Pitchers have figured him out. He used to crush first pitch fastballs now never gets them. They have adjusted to his aggressive approach.

In a matter of 60 seconds Dansby strikes out to lose the game and the Phillies hit a walk off HR in the 10th. Lead down to 2 games.

Need to win tomorrow.

Culberson needs to start against Archer tomorrow night. Hits righties well. Give Ozzie a break too.

So who makes the team when the rosters expand?

 

[death2redemptions]

Freeman is a perfect example of why you don't join the home run derby....

 

[death2redemptions]

So who makes the team when the rosters expand?

Pitchers: Touki, Bryce Wilson, Kyle Wright, Carle
Hitters: Michael Reed (OF), Lane Adams (OF), Rene Rivera (C)

 

[death2redemptions]

Basically no one of substance offensively, just a reserve catcher and a couple options off the bench.

I'm very happy to see those 3 top pitching prospects join the club...Touki will be our sixth starting pitcher and the other two will be used as relief, along with Shane Carle.

 

[death2redemptions]

To be fair Joe, this offense hasn't supported anyone lately.

 

[death2redemptions]

And of course, Acuna is the first Braves hitter to reach base......in the fourth inning.

 

[death2redemptions]

Wow, Culberson just blew it....what an awful play. Why not at least tag the runner for an out? He was right there.

 

[death2redemptions]

Not only has our offense been **** but our defense too....I believe they just said 8 unearned runs in this home stand alone.
