Hopefully Acuña doesn't swing at the first pitch and kill 25 worms on its way to shortstop.

I'm going to re-word something I've said a few time times this year--we frequently do not play well against bad teams.
And Strider had three pitches called strikes in that inning that were not strikes.
Yes, we still win often, maybe we're 35-20 or something like that, whereas we should be more like 45-10. Considering how well we play against mediocre and good teams.
And even when we beat bad teams it's often way more of a stressful battle than it should be.

What is going on? Just turned on the game. Isn't Strider pitching?

What is going on? Just turned on the game. Isn't Strider pitching? Strider has gone full Michael Lorenzen.

Strider has gone full Michael Lorenzen. Gheesh, 4 runs before I even settle in. They missed making it 5-0 by about two feet and then their fat guy got thrown out by Acuna at second base.

4-0...to this dead in the water garbage team. Hopefully the Braves don't start playing down to their competition...

Strider just threw a 95 MPH fastball. That's not him!

Let's have no more of this Strider/Cy Young talk.
He just has too many games where he blows up.

Strider just threw a 95 MPH fastball. That's not him! He's taking off velocity trying to locate better.

Strider looks very ordinary tonight. Fastballs at 95-97. He just doesn't look himself. Hopefully, just an off night

So you go 8-2 on a three city west coast road trip, take 3 of 4 from the vaunted Dodgers...only to come home and look like hot garbage against the last place Cardinals. SMH. Go figure.
