Because he’s an absolutely dreadful left handed hitter and always has been but he used to be able to hit 35 HR seasons

Without that he is pretty much a league average hitter now

If his righty v RHP splits were close to his righty v LHP, which they weren't and why that experiment ended.

The issue isn’t him giving up runs it’s his pitch count


Starting to become a pretty big issue, though. And they’re back around to the top of the order and Mookie, so I doubt he’s gonna switch to pitching to contact in the 3rd.

I’ll take a win any way we can get it, but it looks like we’re gonna have to use more of our pen arms than we want to. Which could affect tomorrow. Or Mahle might go 8 scoreless. Who knows? Just win tonight and figure out the rest. Be nice if we could run into a couple and get a little lead.

Not just you. I love Smoltz. My favorite Braves pitcher ever. Good guy. Great insight. But he loves him some Smoltz.

He had a stretch 2-3 years ago where he tried to hit righty exclusively to get out of a slump.


He did it when he came back from the wrist injury late in 2024 because his left handed swing wasn't strong enough yet. Hit a bases clearing double to give us the lead in Game 161 against NYM right handed off Edwin Diaz.

Tell her to carry her hiney and laptop into another room. It’s Braves/Dodgers Game 3 with Sale and Yamamoto going against each other. Be a man.

Her parents came this past weekend and I got fricking wasted the night of game 2 and she got very upset with me after Iggy got out three and I jumped up in the air yelling waking them and her up.

I don’t wanna make her mad again
