re: The ATL thread 7/3: Braves (Morton) @ Reds (Frick)

Castillo has 6 strikeouts, 3 of them at the expense of Arcia.

We learned last year that we're going to need 4 starters, considering we started Dylan Lee and Tucker Davidson in the World Series last year.

Soroka is the ultimate wild card in all of this.

Morton and Fried are guaranteed starters and gotta think unless Wright starts sucking arse again he’ll be there too.

I think if one of Soroka or Anderson figure it out they will be the 4th starter. I think it’s more likely they use Strider out of the pen for a couple innings every other game. He’s been a great starter but he’s perfect for that role.

That guy sang God Bless America so bad it broke up a no-hitter.

Let’s get the dub and get outta here

A few more runs first would be really helpful

That play by Harris right there was incredible. Saved our asses for the time being.

fricking bullpen.

Our pension to strand runners all series finally bit us.

Welp, what a waste of a pitching performance. 2nd time we've done that in a week.

Now, we're in danger of losing a game on the Mets who get to face the Reds after us.

Snit is a World Series winning manager. Your anger is misplaced.

ETA: McHugh lobbing meatballs is where you should direct it.

Not sure why McHugh was the choice here. You threw a righty with dominant stuff for 7 innings, so you being in another righty with nowhere near the stuff Morton has. Should’ve gone lefty.

I have absolutely no issue going with McHugh there.

You're overthinking the matchups, especially considering you used your two best lefties yesterday and we're still in the beginnings of 20 straight games.

McHugh has to come through there. But also, our offense needs to stop stranding runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs.
