Braves 2016 season thread

[Chewbaccer]

Dansby Swanson has been promoted to AA and is off to a hot start, and Ozzie Albies has been promoted to AAA.

Good sign we might see at least one of them in the Majors at some point this season.

3 home runs in the first inning so far off Folty.

David Wright, Yoenis Cespedes and Lucas Duda.

Down 4-0 already.

I won't bitch though, Folty at least has potential. Bud Norris had none.

 

[Chewbaccer]

So much for building momentum after beating the Cubs in Wrigley.

Why does Bartolo Colon ALWAYS get great run support?

An ERA in the high 3's and a .256 batting average against him when he faced the Braves last season shouldn't be good enough for a 4-0 record.

Finally get Bud Norris out of the rotation and the motherfucker still comes out of the bullpen. I flipped over to a classic episode of The Simpsons when I saw it.

I figured you'd be super pumped when I came and noticed he was in the game.

Second and third with no outs and 0 runs. Dollars to donuts that comes back and bites us. We got Bud Norris out of the rotation, now can we please get Erick Aybar out of the lineup?

First pitch popup. Horrible situational hitting with the pitcher on deck.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We've had at least 1 runner in scoring position in all 3 innings. Get some clutch hits guys, it might take some pressure off the pitcher.

Mallex Smith with his first career homer.

He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

As well as he's been swinging the bat lately, it'll be interesting to see what happens when Inciarte comes back.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Matt Harvey is done after 5 and 2/3 innings.

Nice inning so far for the Braves. Lead off single, a stolen base, an RBI double who advances to third on fly out, then scores on a wild pitch.

3-0 good guys.

I feel like Wisler has been getting hit hard tonight, but for once, they've all been right at someone. The two hits the Mets have were soft singles.

Correction. The Mets have just 1 hit. Granderson reached on an error by Freeman.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Wisler through 8 1 hit shutout innings. I hope they let him try to finish it off.

Pulled Wisler after 8 innings and 106 pitches. Awesome start for him

 

[gobigred]

Braves win 3-0!!

Braves 1 hit the Mutts

 

[Chewbaccer]

Vizcaino saves it.

BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!

1 hit shutout.

Nice job by Wisler tonight.

Much needed after last night's short outing by Folty.

And as a side note, the Braves have now shutout the Mets in 17 consecutive innings. The Mets got all 4 of their runs last night in the first.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Matt Wisler has owned the Mets so far in his young career. Much like Bartolo Colon has owned the Braves in his long, PED fueled career.

I'm starting to think we may not win 50 games this year.....
