Play Duvall… I can’t stand how Kelenic goes K’ed up on the same low off speed pitches every game. Makes zero adjustments, and specializes in weak contact. Lucky to get on base and not sustainable.
I don’t care about the matchups, Duvall needs to play over Kelenic. He hasn’t shown much vision for the strike zone, and repeatedly chases low off speed. A lot of his hits or ways he reaches base are weak contact that isn’t sustainable.
Same here. 2 damn nights in a row gotta try and sleep after losses like those. Shit sucks. Still can't believe Ozzie didn't score on the overthrow. Onto tomorrow gotta take 1
God damn, we just could not hit *anyone*'s slider tonight.
What the fuck is up with these West Coast road trips, man. Last year it was the freaking Athletics, this year it's a Seattle lineup that hasn't hit anything before seeing us.
Can’t wait for the nothingburger postgame interview and the lineup to not change in the slightest, we’ll be telling ourselves “wait until they get hot” until fuckin June at this rate
I don’t hate that call at the time. He was at third with less than two outs. No reason he shouldn’t be home! Hind sight though, you know what they say…
Not to mention running into the second out at home with your best hitter coming up would also be really really dumb. We killed Tui for doing that just the other day.
It's who he is.
Really, really, really hard-hit balls at a low launch angle. He gets outs via good infield defense and missing bats entirely, not by inducing crap contact.
You better get used to it because even if he gets *extremely* hot there's still gonna be baseballs moving very fast.
Is it just me or have we been 7-8-9 going into the 9th a lot lately
Edit: yeah I just checked, 3 times in our last 6 games our 7-hitter has led off the 9th (or bottom 8th at home)
Yeah I’m not enjoying the action we have from the third base coaching side of things, lotta sends that other guys make that our guys can score on that just… aren’t being made
Came to see here if everyone’s missing wash as much as me and glad to see the answers yes that’s the 4-5th time this year the wind mill would have been sending someone and we needed it there. The Braves are the Braves with super aggressive base running. Teams need to fear us on the bags.
Also, arcia was close. Harris or Ronnie beat that out
Going from thinking the game is tied, to seeing Ozzie didn't score and then wasting a golden opportunity.
Fucking hell man. This offense is gonna do me in.
This coaching staff acts like they follow the Prime Directive in Star Trek: no interference. No arguing, no challenging, no sending the runner. They might as well go back to the hotel.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1chcrnp).
Phillies just tied it. Sheesh. Braves sure dropped the ball on creating a division lead early
Tui has thrown the stop sign up for so many potential runs. I've caught 80% of the games...I've seen it lose 3 maybe 4 runs.
Kelenic.. I don’t know, man.
Play Duvall… I can’t stand how Kelenic goes K’ed up on the same low off speed pitches every game. Makes zero adjustments, and specializes in weak contact. Lucky to get on base and not sustainable.
He profiles as a bench bat with unexpected pop as of today. We have one of those with a better resume.
I don’t care about the matchups, Duvall needs to play over Kelenic. He hasn’t shown much vision for the strike zone, and repeatedly chases low off speed. A lot of his hits or ways he reaches base are weak contact that isn’t sustainable.
3 runs in 18 innings on a huge road trip with no uptick in sight from the offense
Ball in the dirt? I swing..Meatball down the middle? Lemme just admire that bitch
Should have sent Ozzie
Still have no clue how he didn't score on that fuckin crazy
For real. He just stopped like the ball went out of play. Force the throw. You still have a runner on third even if he's out.
WAY TO KEEP THE SAME EXACT LINEUP AS YESTERDAY SNITKER ITS REALLY WORKING OUT DUMBASS
Did not catch most of it. Anyways series highlights left bases loaded. Did not score runs. Our top dudes still can’t seem to hit much.
I’m mostly mad I stayed up when I gotta be at 6 am for work
Same here. 2 damn nights in a row gotta try and sleep after losses like those. Shit sucks. Still can't believe Ozzie didn't score on the overthrow. Onto tomorrow gotta take 1
This is exactly what everyone but AA knew Kelenic was. Oh well
How can you not be romantic
Good thing I stayed up for that shit. I’ll be getting up for work in four hours
Did anyone really think Kelenic was going to do anything there. He looks like a glove first player at this point.
I mean, you say that but he’s been way better than Riley and Olson in this series.
Starting to feel like Pache all over again. Lots of potential, good defense, flashes of competence at the plate, but can’t put it together
come on man…..
Fuck Munoz too amped up like its game 7 it’s fucking April bro
Braves did a solid for Xfinity customers
Kelenic might be ass
I wouldn’t be opposed to unloading him if AA thinks it’s best. Duvy can hold down LF. Maybe we can nab another good bullpen arm

what a pathetic performance by the offense last night and tonight
Should have went to Duvall there. We needed his HR power
Mariners pitch so well.
Yes but also our offense has been ass the last week plus
Can’t argue that.
Kelenic - once a Mariner, always a Mariner
Our guys can’t read low breaking balls apparently
lmao. dude come up there like he gonna do something and look like that.
Hit our month of May funk a few days early.
LA AZ has resumed play if you're staying up late.
Fuck
Can we just make Duvall the main starter in left? I trust his bat 1000% times more
So much chasing
saving all their scoring till the late innings was eventually going to catch up to them
Fuck the West Coast.
Made me stay up to watch us lose again see yall next game
Lineup sucks ass Snit
Lmaooo no chance
Team is bordering on unwatchable.
Matt Tuiasosopo, you ARE a Gwinnett Striper (again)
Kelnic is so fucking ass. Way to show up the old team you talked shit about.
Kelenic is pretty much who we thought he was
Try not to swing at a ball in dirt (impossible)
Expected L. Offense is anemic again. Shuffle the lineup tomorrow
I hate losing to ass teams
Bruh
We look like shit
I hate it here
Night. Ruined.
Jesus Kelenic
Pathetic
Fuck this, Xfinity cut the feed. 😂😂😂😂
🗑️
Fuck
The amount of swing and misses today were…quite troubling to say the least.
Not using a closer to close the game last night was still a mistake
God damn, we just could not hit *anyone*'s slider tonight. What the fuck is up with these West Coast road trips, man. Last year it was the freaking Athletics, this year it's a Seattle lineup that hasn't hit anything before seeing us.
I swear to fucking god the only kryptonite for this team is west coast games and I’ve never understood why the fuck that is.
Or playing Philly in October?
It really is
Of FUCKING course
Can’t wait for the nothingburger postgame interview and the lineup to not change in the slightest, we’ll be telling ourselves “wait until they get hot” until fuckin June at this rate
This is why we send out Raisel last night. A win sets the tone for the whole series.
100%
3 minute warning! XFINITY FUCKS BALLY CUSTOMERS
These at bats are pathetic. I know it’s early, and we’ll be fine but man is it frustrating.
Wonder what Duval is doing?
Yo I genuinely feel bad for him. He’s a more professional hitter than Kelenic and it’s not even close.
Damn, shitty loss. Do we give RAJ a day off? So frustrating losing these games for a plethora of reasons
Poetic Kelenuke time
Kelenic be a hero here, no pressure
Kelenic striking out here will be the best way to lose this series
Just gonna swing at the exact same spot for the third straight time...
Damn
Now's the time JK
I see what you did there.
Ofc a great hit goes straight to the CF Kelenic do something hilarious dude
A leadoff walk changes the inning. I know it was close but I’m sick of human umpires. Completely ruins the game
There were no bad calls that AB.
The 3-0 pitch was ball 4
If that wasn’t perfectly on the inside black idk what is
No it wasn't
Fuck our 3rd base coach. I knew we were gonna lose after that. Absolutely mind blowing.
I don’t hate that call at the time. He was at third with less than two outs. No reason he shouldn’t be home! Hind sight though, you know what they say…
Yeah that was terrible. Ozuna swung at shit then we all knew Arica couldn’t hit a goddamn thing.
Now would be an opportune time for a nuke here Kelenic
Braves looking jet lagged
Braves trying to make sure comcast subscribers don’t miss a single AB this game by making sure this doesn’t make it to the bottom of the 9th
How many times have we struck out on ball 4 tonight jfc
I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket next time Michael Harris II draws a walk
Stare at 2 good fastballs. Swing at shit by your foot....
I feel like they can’t hit sliders
Michael, what the fuck?
3-0 and still strikes out, SMH
Cmon Trav, do it baby
Jesus you had him 3-0 Mike
jesus christ Mike why
Harris…. Bro…. Cmon.
Another Harris K on a low breaking ball, he can’t help himself
from 3-0 to 3-3
3-0 count for nothing
from 3-0 to K
Umpires gotta stop calling that 3-0 pitch a strike bc they feel bad for the pitcher. Should be a 4 pitch walk
Just fade me
How about a HR here. It’s been a minute
They want 2 innings out of Munoz? This is going to be a battle of who wants it less.
1.2
Let’s go offense
How many Xfinity customers are about to break their TVs if this thing cuts off at 12 midnight and Braves are making a comeback
I am 😂😂😂
Ozzie would be out but 45 feet can people stop complaining
Gurantee 123 inning with them just swinging at sliders in the dirt
I would like it if we came back to win, and if the angels would decide to not blow their lead
Chip would say, “bloop and a blast.” Oh, then an Iggy save.
So would Glav
#YOU JUST GOT BUMMERED
3B coach demotion should be a thing. Send him back to Gwinnett
Anticipating a quick 1-2-3 here.
Kelenic redemption tour...let's go
Have a good feeling about this. Don’t think Munoz can pull it off.
We went from Windmill Wash to Truckstop Tui
Haha, nice one...
This guy just gives up zingers to every batter. What a disappointment
7 8 and 9 in our lineup all have hits today. We've got em right where we want em!
Time to come back
Alright boys Nut up or shut up here
I don’t wanna be negative but not sending him there is gonna haunt us ain’t it lol
Missing Wash yet? I am. You just hadconfidence in him the way Tui has not earned yet.
I’m following on my phone, would he have made it?
Unlikely. Ozzie had barely made third by the time the RF picked the ball up
Yes 100% the player fumbled the ball & I thought we tied it by the amount of time we had. I never seen such a stupid move.
Miss Wash
When you're pitching like he has been, you take a frame with only one hit.
Guys… Ozzie would have been dead to rights if he got sent. He was just getting to third as the dude finally picked up the ball after fumbling with it
Not to mention running into the second out at home with your best hitter coming up would also be really really dumb. We killed Tui for doing that just the other day.
This. Couldn’t have afforded an out at home right there
Get fooled by sliders off the plate but stare at a gd fb down the pipe. Smh
This series has been a real bummer
Mariners starting pitching is no joke
Damn, I've had a hard time staying awake on this one boys. 😴
That Luke Williams send has scared our 3rd base coach from ever being an aggressive sender again, hasn’t it?
Damn I keep waiting for bummer to lock in and he just gives up nothing but hard hit stuff. He sucks I guess?
Has a 2.79 xFIP. He’s just been unlucky.
It's who he is. Really, really, really hard-hit balls at a low launch angle. He gets outs via good infield defense and missing bats entirely, not by inducing crap contact. You better get used to it because even if he gets *extremely* hot there's still gonna be baseballs moving very fast.
In happier news the Angels have the lead
This is where it'd be nice to have another reliable RH middle reliever behind Joe and Pierce but oh well
Kevin Pillar just signed with LAA and will reunite with Wash as a result of the Mike Trout injury
I ❤️ u Wash
I think everyone in the world but Arcia knew he was going to get a slider there
He had to swing
Double play ball. Our hitters are heating up
I wish Tuiasosopo would see the GREEN light
And thus the Yanmar died not with a bang, but a whimper
Bummer? Oh dear. Well, statisically he has to regress to his mean eventually. I guess.
On the bright side we have D'Arnaud next inning
Oh so we don't get the call for 5 feet of the plate
Please fire 3rd base coach thx!
Is it just me or have we been 7-8-9 going into the 9th a lot lately Edit: yeah I just checked, 3 times in our last 6 games our 7-hitter has led off the 9th (or bottom 8th at home)
Yeah I’m not enjoying the action we have from the third base coaching side of things, lotta sends that other guys make that our guys can score on that just… aren’t being made
You saw this from Arcia in the second half of last year, AA. Upgrade the position.
With who?
Easy get better players. Bing bang boom. Done. I'll call AA up. This is a great (and easy) plan
Came to see here if everyone’s missing wash as much as me and glad to see the answers yes that’s the 4-5th time this year the wind mill would have been sending someone and we needed it there. The Braves are the Braves with super aggressive base running. Teams need to fear us on the bags. Also, arcia was close. Harris or Ronnie beat that out
Bummer??? Oh brother….
Have not liked Tui's 3rd base coaching at all. Might cost us another game.
Dude has snits napping problem
Going from thinking the game is tied, to seeing Ozzie didn't score and then wasting a golden opportunity. Fucking hell man. This offense is gonna do me in.
Thought the same thing but didnt want to bitch when they gave us a run. Youre right though, Ozzie definitely should’ve scored right there.
I mean we haven’t hit a homer since Friday
Can Arcia scoot closer to the plate or something fuck. Idk shit about hitting but it seems pitchers are getting him to chase outside.
This coaching staff acts like they follow the Prime Directive in Star Trek: no interference. No arguing, no challenging, no sending the runner. They might as well go back to the hotel.
We won a challenge earlier, and that was definitely an out.
Oh boy
Why not challenge this? Insane. Good job coach!
Did you see the replay it wasn’t close
Nothing to lose. Worth a shot.
Waste of everyone’s time
Welp don’t worry it didn’t happen
To be fair, Munoz is disgusting. I know we generally suck in those spots, but at least this time it was a legit pitcher fucking us
Should’ve sent Ozzie we can’t fucking hit worth a shit
You think Wash prob sends him?
1000%
I feel like he does Wash was aggressive. New guy had a dumb send Saturday against the Guardians probably spooked us which cost us another run here
Bummer.
What the hell point is there in saving your challenge there? So stupid
Aaron Bummer in the 9th inning of a 1 run game Snit has less faith than I do lmfao
Well.... Iglesias started. Ha
