Game Thread: Braves Road Trip @ Rays and Jays

[BamaNation]

Braves lose 3-1. Strider's line: 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 5K, 1 BB

He pitched well enough to get a win if they had anybody who could hit a round ball with a round bat.

Braves record: 5-13.

19 strikeouts by Braves batters today.

That new hitting coach should be fired immediately. He's not worth a penny of what they are paying him.

And 0-9 with RISP.

Since starting 0-7, the Braves have gone W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L. They have not won multiple games in a row this year.

Bot 5, Schwelly decides to through a number of meat balls right down the freaking middle and they crushed them all over the ballpark. Snit sits on his hands the whole time and never moves. Not even a single mound visit to try and calm him down. He's had that Joe Biden during the debate look all night. Someone wake up Snit, do something!

I cannot wait until the end of the season and he is gone!

I watched a clip last night where Chipper took a called strike 3 looking on a pitch far inside and he threw his helmet and gloves walking away and Bobby came running out just wearing out Blue.

He probably did it to keep Chipper from getting tossed.

Snit would never.

How many times has Acuna been beaned by the Marlins and he’s just sat there eating glue.

I need to burn all my Braves stuff and then bury the ashes with a shovel and then bury the shovel.

We just suck.

Winning cures a lot of ills. Losing exposes all the rocks. Lots of rocks being exposed this year top to bottom.

Yeah but let’s not blame Snit; glue was quite tasty back when it was part of my second grade diet.

That’s a lot of work for a lousy ball team. They’re not even putting in that much work.

Probably could have not used the blue font.

I do not know what that new hand gesture is they do when they reach base (I mean, not like it has happen much this year) but, they should probably do the Catholic sign of the cross instead. Maybe they can convince God to help them since their coaches just sit there.

Seeking spark in outfield, Braves call up Verdugo

The Braves on Thursday called up outfielder Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Gwinnett as the team looks to generate more offense from a lineup that has struggled in the early going. Atlanta signed Verdugo to a one-year, $1.5 million big league contract late in Spring Training, then optioned him to...

Sure, someone batting .207 against minor league pitching is going to be the saving grace of this team. He's 6-29 with 4 BB in 33 PA. That does not instill much confidence IMO. I guess AA has to act like he's trying something, right.
