Brantley walked 2nd time up.  Between innings the mascots were playing with a piñata and an eagle hit a blue dog in the junk with a baseball bat.

So when Brantley comes back, and Chas is back, who gets sent down. I'm guessing Hensley. Everyone else is doing well right now. A week ago I would have said Meyers, but he's hot right now.

Hensley and Salazar need to go away

Hensley and what’s his name brolannan ?

Salazar goes down when the roster shrinks

still pissed at Dusty and players have to perform, but Braves fans can’t be happy with snitker right now 

What did Snitker have to do with it?

Hopefully, he gets the same WS ring as everyone else.

Maybe nothing. Small sample size. 

but at some point, getting smoked that badly in late innings against good teams, the manager is going to feel some heat.

Sure.  It was also a bunting mistake.

So it was a fucking safety squeeze in the 6th?

give me a break, Dusty.


I, too, am bothered by some of the mistakes made, but it ain’t by the stuff on the field.

 

but enough of that.

going to soak up the fun of that sweep

If it was Chas he’d have yanked him from the game.

Astros tinfoil hat time: 

Does Dusty sit Julks this week to cool off the hype train before Brantley comes back? 


I’ll go legit here, we keep Hensley over Julks on the roster because hensley is the only back up 1st baseman. Abreu is playing a lot more than anyone expected

Diaz can absolutely play backup 1B. Literally anyone on the team can stand at 1B and be passable for an inning or 3 if Abreu goes down and they need to finish the game before calling someone up for the next game. 
 

Brantley should absolutely positively at the most be a platoon player against RHP only. Jake or Julks are both better options against LHP. And it likely keeps Brantley healthy. 
it’s also possible that Brantley is cooked or at best A 290 hitting slappy.

I’d be curious who’s taking extra ground balls at first, early in the day

It should be Diaz if he’s never allowed to catch anyone other than Brown. 
If I’m Julks and I think there’s any way that could send me to the minors I’m heading to Academy to get a glove.

Wow. You should get a podcast or something. 
 

Agreed on all points, but Dusty…

Professional walker walks professionally. 

Why do you like him?

Because he gets on base.

I think brown mentioned chas getting a rehab stint before coming back 

 

this team is down :

altuve 

brantley 

lmj 

chas 

And Abreu will get better 


better days are ahead

I have to mention again that he has caught Urquidy in half his starts.

One of them was in the first series bc he wanted to get everyone’s feet wet. The other one was a getaway day in PITT that started at 11:30 body clock time, right?  
I’m going to assume he doesn’t continue to get 1/3 Urquidy’s starts but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. 

Bullpen shifted into playoff mode this weekend

Astros bullpen in the Braves series:

9 1/3 innings
0 hits
0 runs
3 walks
11 strikeouts
3 saves

 

DusTy said Pressley was a ‘little sore’ 

surly after 4-pitch walk/hbp:

this fucking bullpen.  i swear to god.  this looks familiar.  here we go...

nice sweep.  let's go get 2 in tampa, we miss mclanahan.  lfg.

We got a lot of streaks to end

13 straight home wins

22 games with a HR

Pete Fairbanks 29 inning scoreless streak

 

Taj Bradley has been impressive his first two MLB starts. Urquidy opposition him

Garcia vs Rasmussen

 Brown vs TBD

The HBP should have been a K but for UMP fuckery.

We’re 4-1 since Bannon got called up.

I have no beef with Dusty’s usage of him 

Edited by UTexasFight

MLB.com last two days has basically ignored Houston and what they did to Atlanta.  On the Top 10 bulletpoint/ blurbs on the home page, not jack shit was said about our heroes.

Not complaining one bit, because the wins are enough.  It was a great series, and if you look at the league's webpage, it's as if it never happened.  Yordan, Ted, Abreu's pitching, and Julks never happened.  Never heard of Mauricio Dubon.   Duly noted.
