dang..just saw this on another thread. I had no idea we were still paying Bruce Sutter

Yep, I’m hoping that deal was made pre Schuerholz.

That dude fucking sucked. If I remember correctly he was one of the better closers and when he got here fell off a damn cliff

 

[Mistaken4193]

I haven’t seen a single Home game Top of the 1st this year. I keep forgetting it starts 15 mins earlier

 

[txTIGER1963]

damn, so close

 

[RubinRock]

Oh great CB Buckner is in this game. Fuck me.

 

[gobigred]

Who kidnapped the Braves offense tonight ? 0 runs and only 4 hits in 7 innings.

 

[gobigred]

Much better from Keuchel, 2 runs in 7 innings.


Too bad offense has sucked and given him zero support

 

[bamafan4evr12]

Nola owned us tonight

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Braves noob.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nola was just good tonight. Keuchel made 1 mistake and it hurt us.

 

[Mistaken4193]

I wish we would have went after Realmuto instead of pitch around him to get to Bruce. But I get it you want a Lefty/Lefty matchup

 

[Chewbaccer]

There's no excuse to ever get shutout. You only allow 2 runs, that needs to be a win every time. Nut the fuck up. If Nola is on like that, do what pissed Trevor Bauer off and keep fouling pitches off and get his ass out of the game.

Also kind of ridiculous how we never miss deGrom or Nola.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And letting a donk like Jay Bruce beat you is never gonna impress me either. You face an unintelligent batter like Bruce, that needs to be an out every time. He really beat Keuchel twice. Acuna robbed him the first time.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

Last night was the first time we've been held scoreless since May 7, against the Dodgers and only the second time all season I believe

Nola was just too good, need to bounce back tonight

 

[RubinRock]

I was thinking Bryse Wilson would be more of a bullpen piece in the future but he has looked good so far thru 4.

Hopefully he continues tonight and we get more consistent starts like this

I think he has potential to be really good, but it'll be a few years. He's younger than Soroka IIRC, and Soroka is a rarity.

I wouldn't be opposed to include him in a package for Bumgarner and Will Smith though.

Yeah he’s younger. Good potential for sure. Was crazy last season because I think he started the season in A ball. But came all the way up.

 

[RubinRock]

Ahem. $23 mil mothafuckas

 

[Chewbaccer]

DONALDSON!!!

He's got good stuff for sure, just needs to learn how to use it. So far, so good tonight.
