The Braves and Rockies are facing off in an afternoon game today, 4:10 EST. Bryce Elder takes the mound for the Braves and Connor Seabold goes for the Rockies. It’s interesting that both pitchers have Statcast pages that look to reside in the Arctic, but Elder’s ERA is about 1/2 of Seabold’s.
Braves Lineup
I like Ozzie Albies batting 2nd, but it feels a little like Brian Snitker is playing favorites by shifting Matt Olson from 2nd to 5th, but allowing Austin Riley, who’s compiled a .763 OPS thus far, to stay in the 3-hole.
I swear Ozzie should be using a 9-iron.
Probably they shoulda walked Matty there.
Good to start strong.
Seabold is fooling nobody. Even Ronny’s out was a hard liner, just right at the 1B. Arcia hit his hard too.
You know, it’s good to see some random journeyman with under thirty career appearances and just knock him around.
Dearl lord, this team destroys baseballs.
I’d love to see Braves get up to 7 or 8-0 and Snit let some bench guys get some PT.
Some serious Colorado carnage going on — 26-6 after 3 games.
Might as well sweep these guys…
Recapped.
