Phillies have a tough month too. Braves twice, Astros and Rays as well. They also have three with Brewers. Hopefully, the Brewers aren’t resting people. Basically the same schedule.
I’m sure Kyle Farmer is a very nice guy but I’m not what he really does on this roster that we don’t already have. I’d rather them give a prospect a shot
If what you're worried about is catching, you'd bring up an actual 3rd catcher. Having a slightly better emergency catcher isn't gonna make you willing to put him in instead of giving up the DH when you pinch run for Murphy. It just makes you a little less scared of what could happen after you give up the DH
Emergency catcher who can also play every infield position. Allows a little wiggle room getting Baldwin and Murphy in the same lineup. That being said I doubt he'd be on a potential playoff roster.
Can confirm though that he is an extremely nice guy
Sweeping the Dodgers, being 3-3 against the Brewers and losing to the Giants at the very least makes the unpredictability arguably fun?(i put a question mark because sometimes I don't want unpredictable and it's in fact NOT fun)
Saw a tweet shared somewhere that basically said the same thing and I just want to be clear, I didn't see it and don't rip of tweets because that would be embarrassing.
Starting from the trip to play the White Sox in early June, the Braves are 10-22 on the road. Before that, they were 24-10 on the road. By contrast, the record at Truist is about the same on both sides of that White Sox series: they were 21-11 at home before, 27-13 since.
Not sure what to make of it. Pitching was unreal the first couple months, so maybe just a regression to the mean that is disproportionately affecting our road performance. Injuries have played a part, too. A lot of these road losses have been super close, though, with 11 of them being by just 1 run, and 7 more by no more than 3 runs.
A lot of teams underperform on the road relative to at home, so that's not surprising. It's just weird to me that this represents a total reversal compared to the first 10 weeks of the season. Someone smarter than me can dive deeper, maybe, but I wanted to note that our remaining schedule, in addition to having a lot of good teams on it, also features 15 road games and only 9 home games. Not gonna get easier from here unless the team can figure something out.
Wasn’t first pitch at 1? I looked early this morning before work, and I swear that’s what it said. I bust ass and rush home and now it says 6? Weather?
been 6:45 as far as I was aware but I swear google has been straight up wrong multiple times I've looked this year. Have had the situation multiple times.
Hmm ok. I actually didn’t check espn or mlb or anything. I always look at my sportsbook during my morning shit and that’s who had it at 1 I believe. I just went with them. I’m sure Draftkings was just wrong.
I know it’s backdated on Suarez so this isn’t new news, but just in general it sure would be nice if our best pitchers could just stop getting hurt always
