Braves @ Jays - Mar 28, 1:07

1 run scores but 2 base running errors on the same play end the inning... yep they were both embarrassingly bad

[guylaroche5]

That was some atrocious base running

 

no one got hurt so it was still a good inning

[S33n]

Thole's retarded. #JustSayNoToThreeCatchers

[Deadpool]

I don't really blame Thole for that, but Martin man... Wow...

[closetjaysfan]

To be fair to Martin, I dont think he expected Thole to just give up like that.

[Atothe]

What the f*** are you doing Thole. Supposed to be able to let Russell get to 2B.

 

He was trying but failed miserably

[burlingtonbandit]

Cant stand the way Buck says Montreal.

[S33n]

I'm loving Osunas walkout music

[closetjaysfan]

osuna in

[S33n]

I don't really blame Thole for that, but Martin man... Wow...

 

I blame Thole 100%. They had no chance at the plate, there was a 1% chance that throw wasn't being cut off. Thole being caught out, is what led to Martin being caught.

[S33n]

[closetjaysfan]

Wow... the sound of that swing and miss made me think he actually hit it

[Atothe]

Wow... the sound of that swing and miss made me think he actually hit it

 

Nope just a hard fastball high

[closetjaysfan]

Osuna swing and miss K

[S33n]

Thole is terrible

[Atothe]

Control is iffy

[Atothe]

So you're saying that wasn't a very difficult hop?

 

very difficult

[S33n]

So you're saying that wasn't a very difficult hop?

 

That's exactly what I'm saying. That ball was thrown perfectly to be caught on the hop. No short hop, no in between hop, yet he tries running out 10 feet and drops to his knees, watch the replay

[S33n]

very difficult

 

No it wasn't, he positioned himself horribly, making it hard.

[guylaroche5]

thole playin himself off da team

[S33n]

He was 2 feet in front of the plate. Not sure what you were watching.

 

He decided to move towards the ball and attempted to take it on a short hop, instead of waiting back and making the easy play. It wasn't 10 feet, you're right.

[WryNGinger]

Osuna's first rough outing. Seemed like he was trying too hard. If Martin had been catching him I think he might have fared better and settled in but who knows...

[S33n]

Hynes is looking solid as that loogy we needed, hopefully he can keep it up.

[S33n]

Ha. I'm not a fan of Thole either but it's amazing how much flack he gets...if they run out of toilet paper in the bathrooms I'm certain he's to blame for that too.

 

Burn him at the stake!!

 

I'm guilty but it's mostly because I don't want 3 catchers to head north, AGAIN.

[S33n]

Who's that beast at first base? Ah, Jake Fox.

[S33n]

I don't want 3 catchers either. Moving Navarro solves a lot of this. Ok...maybe Thole ends up being the 2nd catcher and that's not the best, but if he handles Dickey better than Martin, and that gives him 30 days off during the season, I get it. But that also opens up a roster spot for someone that provides a lot more roster flexibility than Navarro does.

 

I'd also prefer Navarro be traded, he makes way too much to be backup but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Thole is a fine backup, but there's no way I want him on the roster if we already have Martin and Navarro.

[HERPDERP]

Wasn't impressed with Osuna today. Control of fastball was meh. Changeup missed a lot. I didn't see a single slider.

[S33n]

I wish we had a radar gun on Kimbrel.

[glory]

Wasn't impressed with Osuna today. Control of fastball was meh. Changeup missed a lot. I didn't see a single slider.

 

We have a gigantic 9 innings of sample size from the spring that says Osuna is ready to jump 3 levels at age 20 and pitch in the big leagues.

 

One outing is way less than 9 innings. He's still ready, dammit.

[thatoneguy]

I wish we had a radar gun on Kimbrel.

 

His stuff is simply electric.
