2021 Braves Gameday Thread...

So, in the 2 recent double-headers, we've scored a total of 5 runs in 4 games... but still managed a split.

We probably need to score more runs.

We need to make a few trades or tank for Leiter.

2 straight brilliant games from Morton. Our hitting is still an issue, but it should come around.

I would really like to trade for Mancini or Haniger, plus 1-2 bullpen arms.

Mancini should definitely be available. But if the Braves get him, don't expect good defense. Great clubhouse guy.

Charlie has been pitching well as of late. Much needed.

His defense can't be worse than Ozuna. We need a bat like his behind Freeman.

Agreed, he'll catch what he gets to, but he's got very little range. Also, he was a 1st baseman in the minors and was force-fed playing the OF in the majors, so he's not an instinctive OFer.

I will take the big underdog win. Smily pitched very well.

Anderson takes the mound today for us in what should be a solid win. Go Braves

The bad news just keeps piling on, Bleach Report says that Soroka was walking around Truist Park and tore his Achilles again. He will need a third surgery.

You have got to be kidding me. :nonono:

At least there's one positive - a fine 5 innings by Muller today. The only complaint is - his pitch count was high. But he was dominant.

Must win series vs the Mets.
Fried takes the mound for us tonight.

Albies is quietly having an all-star caliber season. I'd love to see him get 30 homers this year.

I hate to use 6 pitchers for a shutout, but when you score only 1 run, every out is precious. I prefer scoring 20.

Just no excuse for Matzek's lousy performance.

Braves fans are tired of the performance by the bullpen. Closing out games seems to be the most difficult task to accomplish for our team and it's cost us many wins this season.

Fix the damn problem!
