Braves off day today has me feeling low 😪😪😪

It’s so fun to be at the point again to be disappointed when there is an off day.

Somebody may have already posted this.... Yesterday was Albies' 3rd leadoff HR. Yet he's only batted leadoff 8 times in his career.

In his post game interview byrd asked him if he had ever led off a game with a HR and Albies paused and said... uh yes lol

I guess Paul forgot the 14-10 game in Chicago.

Always bittersweet selling a vehicle you love for something bigger for your family 😔

So Folty had his best start by Game Score (not the end all be all but it’s an easy number to use) this weekend with Flowers pitching so I was kind of curious if Mike pitches better with Kurt or Flowers. Using the 2017 game log and game score numbers

Kurt caught Mike 18 times last year for an average Game Score of 45.6

Flowers caught Mike 10 times last year for an average Game Score of 50.9

Not too much of a difference so Mike had three horrific starts last year (Game Score less than 20): two with Kurt, one with Flowers.

I took those three out as outliers for Mike and calculated game scores for those

Kurt: 50.9
Flowers: 56.1

Just purchased a home with my girl. Proposing in June. She has a 2 year old that is essentially my son. It’s going well but I had to get rid of my single cab truck I’ve owned forever for something bigger I can carry him around in. Bittersweet.

lol at the slider that put Votto in the spin cycle

 

[05_never_again]

Hader has that crossfire delivery, appears to hide the ball very well, and throws 95-96 with a wipeout slider. Nasty.

[zjcvols]
