10s, the pen, which is expected to one of the better pens in this NL, gave it up. Kapler took out Nola too early. He should’ve let him finish the 6th. He was at 68 pitches.dbdynsty25 wrote:Why?

DB, obviously its my opinion, but the Phils are going to be a better team than the Braves this year. Of course I am a Phillies fan but they are better than the Braves. Not by a ton but they should finish higher than Atlanta.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
On paper...yup you’re probably right. Buuuuut not played on paper. Just ask the Twins and Dbacks last year. Predicted to be last again and both made the playoffs. So it’s all a matter of injuries and breakout seasons. That said...if the Phillies do end up in front of the Braves it’ll be by less than 5 games.Diablo25 wrote:DB, obviously its my opinion, but the Phils are going to be a better team than the Braves this year.

And specifically to today’s game...both starters were taken out way too early. At least the Phillies didn’t gift the Braves runs. They earned em.
Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
Agreed. Kapler took out Nola too early. Freddie is a legit and the Braves could’ve easily folded the tent at 5-0. They didn’t and they earned the win for sure.dbdynsty25 wrote:On paper...yup you’re probably right. Buuuuut not played on paper. Just ask the Twins and Dbacks last year.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
Well I’m not convinced. Should have gotten swept of not for Boujois front foot missing home yesterday. One series but I gotta take the wins and talk crap while I can. Haha.Diablo25 wrote:DB, obviously its my opinion, but the Phils are going to be a better team than the Braves this year. Of course I am a Phillies fan but they are better than the Braves.

Still gonna be a long year but it was a fun opening series that gives me a touch of hope.
And Kapler...yikes. What a disaster of a weekend for him. He was absolutely terrible in all aspects of the game.

The MLB.com app is pretty sweet especially on the Apple TV. I didn't realize that MLB has a free game of the day, everyday and the yearly subscription isn't too bad @ $115 for the season.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
I read that the monthly re-up doesn't include the post season so does the yearly subscription include the playoffs as well? I may bite on the yearly sub if it does.dbdynsty25 wrote:Welcome to 2010.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
I've always had the yearly, since it's cheaper overall, and it's had the postseason games on it. Tho I've barely used it since they are all televised at that point.Rodster wrote:I read that the monthly re-up doesn't include the post season so does the yearly subscription include the playoffs as well?

How about the‘Big Sexy’ about to turn 45 and pitching 8 hitless innings vs a team that can punish you anytime.

This team is finally starting to enjoy some of the fruits of the illegal scouting practices.RobVarak wrote:Enjoy, db. He and Albies are going to be fun to watch together.
If a couple of these pitchers pan out (Soroka, Gohara, Allard, Anderson, Fried, etc)...only one of which is up w/ the big team (Newcomb), they are gonna be good for a long long time. Dansby finally living up to the hype, w/ Acuna, Albies, Inciarte and a couple more soon to arrive youngsters (Pache, OF and Riley, 3B)...they are gonna be set. It's kind of fun watching them all learn together. Hopefully the trajectory is Astro-like. Bottom out, draft well, win rings.
Edit: Acuna just hit his first homer...and absolute moon shot to the upper deck in Cincy. Whoa.

Acuna is a very nice player. Fun to watch.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
The Braves were robbed in that game. Two back to back calls went against them and it doesn’t help that Vizcaino can’t hold the lead going into the 9th.

Viscaino sucks. The Braves really need a dependable bullpen arm. They are getting torched.
Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
The Braves announcers were getting worried with Acuna Jr’s recent strikeouts, then he shuts them up with a blast to CF. I don’t follow the Braves be he looks promising. They were saying the same thing last year about Aaron Judge.

Re: MLB Season 2018. Playball!
Acuna is fine. He's 20. Between him, Albies, who's tied for first in homers, and Soroka...they have the three youngest players in all of baseball.Rodster wrote:The Braves announcers were getting worried with Acuna Jr’s recent strikeouts, then he shuts them up with a blast to CF.
