That will help, but so will scoring more than 2 damned runs.

So apparently Eduardo Gomez implied that Framber could have been tipping his pitches again last night. Maybe when he gets caught up in the moment he defaults to his old habits. If that is the case then hopefully Strom can fix him and get ahead of it with Urquidy and Garcia the next couple of games.


Doesn't matter much when you can't throw strikes

There are too many Braves fans on this site. I know there are Ags from every state out there, but geez.
Byproduct of the WGN & TBS years where those are the only teams that a lot of the country got to watch and then that great 90s run created a lot of bandwagon fans. Along with the Yankees and Sox, the Braves have an annoying amount of "t-shirt fans" that have no association to the team other than that's who they decided to root for at some point.

That said, I have to admit that I watched a ton of Braves games as a kid and Dale Murphy was right up there with Nolan and Cheo for me.

Sorry, meant Breg not Brantly. Edited it.

When Tucker got to the plate with 3 on base in the first, were you confident like you would have been with Yordon or Brantly?

What about against the Sox when he left 2 on or when he hit into they key double play? And I didn't say he's ice cold - but he is NOT as hot as he was during the last 20 games of the regular season when he was hitting everything they could throw. He has cooled off some.
So Tucker and Brantley were problems at the plate yesterday? Yet they went a combined 5-9.

And you apparently don't know how to spell our players' names, either. Seems like a good time to use the ignore feature.

Tucker's Left on Base for the last 4 games:

2, 5, 3 and 3

He's not struggling like Tuve /Breg /Correa but he is still leaning a lot out there. One month ago he was the hottest batter in baseball.

People can't keep up torrid paces. It's Baseball. Is this your first time watching it?

Going into G2 of the ALCS, Kee-kay (have to get around filter) was the hottest hitter on the planet. What happened to him then?

And Tucker isn't even cold. He's a great hitter.

If troll, then sublime effort.

If not, then maybe learn how to spell the players' names before firing off frio takes.

He had a 3 RBI game 2 games ago. He's had 4 RBI over the last 4 games. He's had 21 RBI this entire offseason so far in 11 games.

I never said he was hitting poorly, can you read?? I said he has cooled off (from being white hit down the stretch) and we have 3 big bats that haven't heated up to make up for it.

We don't have the pitching to be able win 4 games in a series without better collective batting than only having 3-4 guys hitting above average.

If you start a game 0-1

You are frigid as hell in the batters box

This is what I've learned

If you leave 13 runners on base in 4 games, you aren't lighting it up

I don't care to find the post. But someone really posted that Yordan was lost at the plate last night. Guess that's what happens when people expect .500 to be the norm and you get two outs.

Bregman is the one who looks lost. Even Altuve hit some hard balls foul. His timing is just a little lost. Chas didn't look great either so he might be on the bench as well. Machete is just…..awful.

Seriously? If they can't do their job at least half the time then they need to sit. This is the World Series here, ain't nobody got time for .300 hitters

With all those chances I guess he is in the right spot in the order?? Who else do you want coming up in those situations? Conventional thinking says to move him up in the order, but would you rather flip-flop Bregman/Tucker so Bregman gets those plate appearances and RBI chances? I don't claim to have the answer, and it was frustrating last night, but we've seen this before with this team. Just have to hope we get 4 wins before they do!

In the Boston series plus WS Game 1, he got 8 RBIs and 17 LOB.

That's ok but it's certainly not great.

But I'm done, y'all go back to thinking he's killing it and on pace for WS MVP.

This thread is menstrual enough during the regular season when there is little at stake, most of the posters closely follow the team and know something about baseball.

Now add a bunch of yeasty noobs with a ton of passion and very little baseball knowledge during the World Series and this is what we get.

I don't mind, to tell you the truth. We'll get back to sensible baseball talk next spring and it's entertaining to have folks living and dying with every pitch. I remember getting really into baseball for the first time during the '86 season and that's exactly how I acted. Of course I was in middle school at the time, but I digress...

You put Yuli in Bregmans spot. He's way better with Average w/ RISP and it doesn't change you R/L distribution in the order.

My grandfather was a Braves fan until he died at age 99. The reason: in Kerrville he couldn't get the Astros but got TBS.

At least 3 of those were after an absolute rocket that went straight to Schwarber

NCLS MVP, Eddie Rosario had just 9 RBI

ALCS MVP, Yordan Alvarez had just 6 RBI

Having 8 RBI over a 7 game span is pretty awesome

Since RBI is apparently a huge talking point now:

Craig Biggio - 11 career RBI in the postseason
Jeff Bagwell - 13 career RBI in the postseason
Kyle Tucker - 15 RBI in the 2021 postseason

Looking at the pitching matchup tonight. No on on the Braves has ever seen Urquidy before. Only Marwin and Greinke have had an AB vs Fried. Talk about some completely unknowns tonight

Its almost as entertaining as the fat men sitting in their office/home pounding away on a moronic website pretending they are the next coming of Tommy Lasorda. Its comical for sure.

No to 3 LH in a row, but Tucker and Yordan both crush lefties.

It seems Fried is a bit of a reverse split pitcher.

vs Left - .240/.298/.409/.707
vs Right - .223/.277/.334/.611

Meanwhile Urquidy is also a reverse split guy this season as well

vs Right - .238/.273/.455/.727

The only problem is that Bregs will not get pitches to hit. There is no reason to pitch to him with Chas following.
