Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) @ Braves (Elder), 6/27/23 @ 6:20 CT

[SwainZag]

Braves teeing off Joe.  Damn. 

[Craig Arko]

Pliny the Elder pitching like Pliny the Younger.

[RickOShea]

What do you do?  Hold Gallo up at third was the right thing.  He was rumbling and stumbling to third.  would have been probably a dead duck.  On the other hand, we don't take risk and nobody can pick Gallo up.  It's great for the opposition.

[Tlaker]

Men against boys…… sigh

Rude awaking for Joe

Rosario hasn't changed. He can hit, but he's a terrible defensive outfielder. He makes mistakes every game. 

Except when he was locked in during the 2021 NLCS, great D if I recall

The real Bomba Squad

Braves have a crazy batting lineup.  Meanwhile....our big money player is batting .216.

 

Not fair.

Wonder what the Braves record would be if they were in the AL Central?

Uffda…. close to clinching?

[SwainZag]

I said it last start, when Joe is locating that fastball he is deadly.  When he is missing, he is prone to getting beaten up.  All fastballs from the the HR's in the first inning moved over the heart of the plate, none stayed on the black where they needed to be.

[CRF]

Ryan just said "WOW". Yeah...wow is right.

[Nine of twelve]

Dick: "Are you kidding me?"

Everybody else: "No."

[Mortimerkenny21]

Fugly.

At this point in the season, about the same.

[RickOShea]

One thing for sure, the Braves will probably never trade for Joe Ryan.

[Parfigliano]

ATL will hit more HR's this game then Twins get hits.

[Shaitan]

Well, Ortega will get some innings, I guess.

With the more balanced schedule coming into play this year, probably wouldn't be much of a difference.  

[Tlaker]

10 Brave batters….. 5 home runs….

[Aggies7]

The braves have 3 errors in 2 innings

And lead by 5

[CRF]

Pretty damn depressing when the game is over by the 2nd inning...and everyone knows it. 

[kydoty]

Six innings of Josh Winder is just what I was hoping for tonight.

Gladden saying exact same thing you are 

[Tlaker]

I am out….. have better things to do.

[jkcarew]

What are the chances the Acuna we have in the minors is Tommie to Ronald’s Henry?

[RpR]

Time to bring Pagan and watch him throw shut-out ball for five innings.

 

[jkcarew]

Right now every guy in the bullpen is hiding behind the other.
