Hey with a low pitch count in this game, let Alvarez cook.

Whoop nevermind.

Don’t like this move

Olson is scary

Varland is a nice find. Finnegan level

Worked out. Braves hitters were due for a regression.

Why not let Alvarez pitch the 8th?

Why not let Alvarez pitch the 8th?

I think they lifted him with 1 on and 1 out.

Doesn’t throw as hard as Finny, nor have a devastating secondary pitch

~~Explain why Nunez wasn't bunting?~~

Finnegan lost velo later on, but I will give you different stuff. I meant more in terms of head and ability to close out.

i take this back. I thought there was 0 out.

This isn't working out well

Butera seems lost when it comes to managing the bullpen in late innings

Has Lovelady faced Harris this series?

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #89 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:24:07 pm »

Horrible pitching by Varland. Not sure why Lovelady didn't start the 9th.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #90 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:25:29 pm »

Other than Harris, no favorable platoon match ups. Lovelady is just the top dog.

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #91 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:28:15 pm »

Should’ve been game over

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #92 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:28:32 pm »

Oh my lord. Had the dp, but really just needed the lead runner. Best fielder too

SkinsNatFan21RIP · « **Reply #93 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:29:13 pm »

Unbelievable

Get rid of Nunez

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #95 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:30:15 pm »

Now Lovelady can’t find the plate. The wheels are falling off fast…

welch · « **Reply #96 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:30:18 pm »

No, no, no, Nassim.

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #97 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:32:07 pm »

See ya, Lovelady. Tough spot for Ribalta to come in to…

aspenbubba · « **Reply #98 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:34:34 pm »

Game. Damn you Nunez.

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #99 on:** May 24, 2026, 08:35:18 pm »

This and the first game of the series is rhe result of continuing the Rizzo philosophy of not caring about a bullpen
