This Braves pitcher has good stuff

Not that it matters, but Suarez just got umpjacked

PBF!

That was a nice turn by Hanson and Crawford....

the Crawson?

This Braves pitcher has good stuff

Drafted 28th by the Braves in 2015..... the year the Giants drafted Bickford 18th

 

[SFGRTB]

No sympathy from me after they brought up that kid who pitched 6 innings of no hit ball the other day.

Also a guy that was drafted after Bickford (24th).


Sorry

Sorry

No need to apologize for being Draft Rain Man

 

[msgkings322]

Should Blanco try to steal here?

 

[msgkings322]

Edit: not with a 2-0 count now to a guy who draws a lot of walks

 

[SFGRTB]

McCutchen and Belt might each walk 100 times this year

 

[SFGRTB]

Cutch always looks mad when he walks too

 

[SFGRTB]

Okay here comes the rally

Offensive JUGGERNAUT

To a pitcher that has no intention of taking the bat off his shoulder, that will happen.

Not that I agree with it (the pitcher on the mound should still have to throw a strike), but it isn’t anything new.

 

[msgkings322]

Got our RISP groove back lately

 

[msgkings322]

Dammit I hate leaving a guy on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

Talk about a head...

Rally killer!

Yeah that pick is more befuddling as the years go on. He was known as a headcase going into the draft, and his stuff wasn't even that good (it was good in one summer when he was a reliever). And he signed for the slot, it wasn't even a cost saving move. Not a good stretch for the Giants in the draft room.

 

[calsnowskier]

The rally was late today, and a bit smaller.

This an old team. That sort of thing happens with age.








So I’ve been told...
