They led the NL in OBP!

Paul Sporer

9:35

I was gonna say, they had great OBPs

LFC Mike

Dan.. what if the neural network had your Friday night dinner as chili with beans? You can’t go against the neural network right? A time space continuum thing I assume.

Dan Szymborski

9:35

I would eat nothing since there is no such thing!

sadtrombone

9:36

It's wild. They have half their lineup with .400+ OBPs and the other half with .300 or below.

Dan Szymborski

9:36

But the low OBP dudes mostly have power!

Paul Sporer

9:36

TdA, Freef, Dansby, Ozuna, Acuña all great OBPs

Dan Szymborski

9:37

Of the starters, only Inciarte this year was really of the Mostly Useless variety.

All Bees

9:37

Fried’s curveball is the prettiest pitch in baseball. Who cares about most effective, that thing is hot

Cito's Mustache

9:38

Joe "Lipstick" Kelly. I dig it.

9:39

That curve is carving the Dodger’s lefties.

Wood

9:44

This isn't even Fried at his sharpest. Still nasty

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:44

Paul appears to be a foodie, per that thing you used.

Hugh Duffy

9:45

Just because Fried's curveball (wxOBA .227) is less effective than his changeup (wxOBA .187) or his slider (wxOBA .215) does not detract from its beauty.

Dan Szymborski

9:45

Pitches also set up other pitches

All Bees

9:45

Buehler on a short leash third time through the order?

Dan Szymborski

9:46

I imagine so.

Unless he goes 6 pitches 3 outs, I expect this to be his last inning and maybe even if he does.

Paul Sporer

9:47

Buehler would be on a short leash 3rd time through even if he wasn't running up pitches

sadtrombone

9:47

I guess if the Braves managed to get multiple runners on for Duvall and Albies and the other guys with lower OBPs but power that would work. But Markakis, Inciarte, Camargo, and to a lesser extent Riley do not look very useful from here.

Guest

9:47

i am very impressed by what Fried is serving up there. All the breaking balls are sharp.

All Bees

9:47

Braves have let some good scoring chances go

Bds

9:47

Would you let Buehler pitch the 5th?

Paul Sporer

9:47

Yes :)

Dan Szymborski

9:48

Man, Freeman was close there

Paul Sporer

9:48

Dang, Ozuna missed 88 there

Effective velo up in the zone

RIPPEDDD

Solid 5th for Buehler there

Helluva game going on here

Dan Szymborski

9:48

Wood

9:48

Ozuna has been cfrushing balls just right at people

Paul Sporer

9:49

Love healthy Ozuna

Hell, even compromised Ozuna is still usually a bit above avg, but he's a superstar when fully healthy

9:52

THIS GAME IS TIED!!

Hernandez OBLITERATED that, wow!

All Bees

9:53

Is there a worse baseball commercial in history than the Aaron’s way one?

Paul Sporer

9:53

I don't really find it that objectionable. I like that they're showcasing Judge. Cheesy commercials w/athletes are just part of the whole thing. Better than not seeing stars marketed

bosoxforlife

9:55

One too many curve balls in a row.

9:55

Listen, I know it’s unreasonable and it has absolutely zero effect on what happens, but I get so mad when announcers mention a streak.
