Go Phils!!!

Get outta here with that

 

[DannyW]

Well I wuz rong...Braves created a spot on the big league roster for Chavez. Sent Jackson Stephens down to Gwinnett instead.

 

[westcobbdog]

Chavez is a true pitcher, not a thrower with his lack of velocity.

Dang it, I just had to read the following article. And it fundamentally changed my opinion of Ronald Acuna.

No, I still don't like the bat flips. Nor the prancing around the bases. But at least now I see why.

This is a long read...10-15 minutes. But I found it well worth it.

Ronald Acuna Story

 

[Stob]

Read it the other morning. It is a heck of a good article.

 

[ddavis1120]

Go Braves!

 

[Resica]

Go Phils!!

 

[westcobbdog]

Way to opening day beat down the filthy Phil's. Looking forward to more of that plus a pennant and World Series appearance.

 

[Raylander]

Striders breakingball(s) were something else today. He appeared to have it/them on a string. Very good with mixing speeds and directions. If he can hold that pitch and continue to refine it; watch out!

 

[Resica]

Go Phils!

 

[mizzippi jb]

Go Phils!

Maybe tomorrow...

The Phillies fell apart when Wheeler got pulled.

Should have left him in. Rain again tomorrow possible, i hear.

 

[Stob]

The Phillies fell apart when Wheeler got pulled.

This is where AA has stacked the deck. The front and back end of the pitching staff is just insane. Topped off with a 1-9 hitting threat.

This is where they will win. 'Get to the 6th' mentality.

Ronald Acuna Story

Sports radio this morning before lunch was interviewing Snitker & asking if he was aware of Acuna writing that article about himself but he was not & they recommended the coach read it sometime in the next week.

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Congrats to the Braves on a fine opening day win with Duvall's 2-run double tying the score in the 7th followed by a Braves 7-run 8th-inning as Olson (3-doubles, 3-RBI's), Harris, & Arcia deliver 3-hits each & Strider gets 8-K's in 5.0-IP. Nice having Atlanta play today instead of yesterday with no day off interruptions in the 1st series.

Losing Murphy to the IL with an oblique injury stings a little.

 

[northgeorgiasportsman]

Ouch! Fried didn't even survive the 1st inning. Phils up 3-2 after 1.
