I mean every at bat is grueling. Fried at 74 pitches and not even finished the 3rd. Meanwhile, the other guy has a no no going...

AA has obviously done an outstanding job with the Braves.........with the glaring exception of top-shelf pitching. Big long-term deals for top pitchers are risky. I get it. At some point you gotta take the chance, though. We're wasting our window of opportunity.

Looks like an 18 day layoff is just too much to overcome. He makes a few good pitches but keeps getting behind a lot of batters. Maybe we can squeeze another inning out of Fried but its mix and match after that with everybody you got. Desperate times.

We're basically a team that is built for the regular season.

Acuna now 0-16 in playoffs dating back to last year. How can a guy that good not have a hit in 16 ab's? Maybe someone should tell him this is when it counts... Doesn't surprise me. This is when it counts for the team....not necessarily for him personally.

Yeah, I think we’d all be a little calmer in this game/series were it not for knowing our team is not in prime condition … surmountable in the regular season, but a hard pill to swallow in five games…. considering the season we experienced. Flailing away in our ABs is compounding the issue … Bats better find a way.. making it too easy for Wheeler.

Yeah, but Fried is a top guy when he's not hurt or coming back from being out with no rehab.... and Wright was the league leader in wins last year. He counted on them. The Phillies wouldn't be here if Nola was coming back from injury and Wheeler was out with shoulder surgery.

At some point you gotta take the chance, though. We're wasting our window of opportunity. I'll say it again. Pitching and defense win championships.

At some point you gotta take the chance, though. We're wasting our window of opportunity. I've been saying that for a while now. We depend on 2 or 3 guys and if one is off or hurt we are in trouble. Good pitching always beats good hitting. Been that way forever. We need at least 2 top end free agents (or a trade) but the Braves brass believes that guys like Shuster, Dodd, Vines, AJSS etc. are the future and we'll be fine. We need to be very aggressive pitching wise in the off season. If we're not gonna sign Fried then trade him. Get rid of Morton's $20M. AA can certainly get creative so we need to see it this off season.
