GAUSMAN WALKS!! COME ON ACUNA!!

 

[Eco]

What an at bat by Gausman. 9 pitches and draws the walk.

C'mon Acuna.

Max looks like he is losing it out there....sweat dripping from his bill and he is looking awful for it to only be the second inning.

 

[Mistaken4193]

ACUNA!!!

Gausman with they key AB.

There you go Braves!

Gausman with they key AB.

No kidding. Loaded up the pitch count and kept the inning alive.

He has been putting up Good ABs for a pitcher since he came over.

Max already close to 50 pitches and it's just now the 3rd inning.

Great sign for the Braves.

Huge props to Gausman and Acuna for bailing out Flowers and Dansby to tie the game.

I really don't like Ozzie in the two hole. He's exciting when he's hot, but he lacks situational awareness and has terrible at bats at times.

Ha - Love AJ and him giving Glavine shit is absolutely fantastic.

AJ is the man.

I just cannot trust Tehran. Newcomb is so talented, and I feel like as long as he keeps his cool, he is more reliable than Julio.

Keeping his cool are the key words. He melts at the slightest sign of adversity.

Julio is the only pitcher we have that has been there before and his second halfs tend to be a lot better than his first halves, which is fairly rare for a pitcher. He ain't an ace, never has been, never will be one, but he's not a bad third option and a pretty good 4th option.

Newk might turn out to be something. Folty had the same mental issues, and this year, he's finally learned to power through them, and now Folty's best games have came when we really needed a win against the other team's ace.

He's had statistically better starts, but him beating Chris Sale in Fenway was his most impressive start of the season. We were in a slump and needed a win in the worst way, he came through.

Shit AJ....Snit is still in over his head.

I couldn't stay up for the San Fran games and was working through the day game.

Did Joe Simpson get fired or something?

 

[Chewbaccer]

Nice shut down inning.

"Scheduled day off" AKA Our Broadcast is National on the MLB Network and they dont want him to offend the left anymore with his Soto talk.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I'm gonna keep saying if until the magic number is 0.

But if we make the playoffs, Snit had better let Ron Washington have a ton of input.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Damn. Nice catch.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Tie Game...we need to be working his pitch count to get him out ASAP.
