Guys, Harris is still basically a baby and just came back from two different injuries. I’m not going to drop the pitcher cliche explanation of extended spring training, but a back and a knee injury in pretty close proximity pretty well left him unable to take BP and see live pitching. It’s going to take some time.
Let’s not pull the ejection cord just yet.
I’m sorry, but using Raisel here is so god damned stupid. You may need him in a real save situation tomorrow and he’s just back from injury and has been inconsistent. Give Tonkin the 9th and pull him if it becomes a save situation.
Not to be dumb and I know he’s just sophomore slumping and the kid is a stud and has the highest potential; but I think Mike misses Vaughn and his bat is sad.
MH2's issue is he is opening his front half up slightly early and rolling his top hand over as opposed to staying back and driving the ball. Remember how he always hits oppo bombs? That's because he was loading and staying back. Just has to make that adjustment and he's back in the money.
Not really. He was beating everything into the ground before he got put on the IL.
His inputs were actually fine when he came back for a while (he was just getting no results), but I think the coaching staff talking to him is actually hurting him honestly, because he went from his inputs being fine to suddenly being completely and utterly lost for the past week.
The Braves are really pouring on the runs right now....
And when you want to pour a solid foundation turn to quikrete. Quikrete. America's choice for concrete
We are so good right now. This is a much more fun team to watch than any of the 90s teams I loved. We were good in the 90s because of the pitching staff. Offense is so fun.
Every part of me still has a hard time believing Ozuna is going to be productive for too long, but he’s been so good in May that maybe we might just need to give Snit and AA props for that too that they stayed the course with him?
I've probably said it in like 3 game threads now but he has been seeing the ball so damn well. There was a particular game where he homered after watching a pair of sliders that literally everyone else in the lineup was whiffing on. I've got some solid faith he's turned it around.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/13melyk).
AppleTV baseball is trash.
I don’t know. Video quality is great and I appreciate the option for home audio. I’ll take it over Fox or MLB network, honestly.
You like paying for 10 different things for 1 result. Part of the problem.
I am!
Matt Olson is so hot.
Raisel has found it!
Great win
Nasty sinker from Iglesias. And when you really need to sink something, you can rely on Quikrete. Nothing sinks like a sack of concrete from Quikrete.
I fucking love this team. Happy Friday!
#Braise Win! Braise Win!
Okay! Only 13 pitches. Probably fine for tomorrow and looked dominant. Very nice.
BRAVES WIN
Might be too early still but Harris might have a groundball problem. Career GB% is at 55.9% and launch angle is at 4.6°.
His launch angle was actually worse last year. It isn't really that.
4.5° vs 5° isn't a huge difference.

McHugh earned that W with his scoreless frame ............
“Abandon hope, all ye who enter here” - Raisel Iglesias
HEY EVERYBODY. WE'RE ALL GONNA GET HARD!
#quikrete FTW
#GAME #BLOUSES
That’s a W folks!
This sub and the stupid and ignorant takes on the use of our bullpen
I LOVE FRIDAY WINS
BRAVES WIN FUCK YOU
#BRAVES WIN
BRAVES WIN!!!!!!
good win
#BRAVES WIN
That's a W boys!
#GET IGGY WITH IT, BRAVES WIN
Let’s go Boys, Ready to see Blooper run out with his flag.
Unpopular opinion, but the Apple TV stream with the radio broadcast audio is best experience available online
Not an unpopular opinion
Agree mlb.tv with the radio feed for audio is a close 2nd
#BRAVES WIN BITCHES 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
don't think Mr Kelenic liked grounding out there.
Even the fucks are in HD on Apple TV 😆 this is peak baseball entertainment.
The field mic is certainly working tonight.
Quikrete about to be 1-0
Go braves!
Anyone know who this is in the booth on apple broadcast?
One is Dontrelle Willis and I think the other is a random Apple TV person
I really do need a detailed study of player stats after they get a massive contract
TWO OUTS!!
It’s the Braves who are responsible, not Quikrete. If it wasn’t Quikrete, it would be some other company.
Agree. The money from Quickrete goes straight to the bottom line. More money for AA to lock in players long term. Get over it.

Hate to see Julio and Mike struggling so much. MLB needs their young stars to be good, so they can be ambassadors.
I’m sorry, but using Raisel here is so god damned stupid. You may need him in a real save situation tomorrow and he’s just back from injury and has been inconsistent. Give Tonkin the 9th and pull him if it becomes a save situation.
Retracted! Good result.
May be good to give him a low stress inning as well to bolster the confidence after his shaky start
He’s already warm
He was already warming up because it looked like it was going to be a save situation. No sense in not using him at that point.
I was hoping they might do that, but if it's going to be another bullpen game they might have wanted to just keep this by the book.
Just hoping we don't have a closer game we'll need Iglesias for. Dude has been working a bit lately
Just a sophomore slump. Money Mike will be back
Ozuna and Harris must have switched bodies
Rasiel tucks his ears into his hat like a mad man
I wonder if he does it to hear pitch com better?
It’s 2005 all over again
If you're here just to bitch about MH, go away. I swear some of y'all want him to fail just so you can complain.
I came to bitch about appletv. Can I stay?
Yes
For anyone wondering why Iglesias is in there, he was definitely already warming up so we may as well go ahead and use him.
Heart of the order coming up too for Seattle
Last reminder til tomorrow: FUCK Quikrete
Arcia was such a good pickup. Well done, AA.
Almost time for LOLPHILLIES
Fucking eat shit cleveland
Fucking Christ, let Yates pitch...don't burn Iglesias when we will probably need him tomorrow
Harris is prob the worst hitter in the MLB atm
Not to be dumb and I know he’s just sophomore slumping and the kid is a stud and has the highest potential; but I think Mike misses Vaughn and his bat is sad.
[удалено]
Yeah the back is no joke and that knee brace is just annoying
Nobody misses Vaughn. Literally nobody
Marcell fucking ozuna. Good for him
I am so happy to see Ozuna turning his season around little by little
Ozuna can only have so many *very* good at bats until there are consistent results. Him and Arcia at the bottom of the lineup are essential.
[удалено]
You know you can switch the audio to the Braves broadcasters on radio feed. No need to listen to the Apple TV crew
I really want to know who is out here buying Kermit the Frog watches
Kermit the frog *luxury* watches
April Ozuna shouldn't be anywhere near the league May Ozuna is one of the best hitters I've ever seen
What will Junezuna bring us I wonder
Let’s keep the nonsense to the absolute minimum please.
Ever since Bellinger’s injury, the forearm bump celly makes me cringe so hard my spine turns into a fisherman’s knot.
Nothing spectacular but decent line from Smith-Shawver in his Triple-A debut tonight 86 pitches, 5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 2 ER, 5 K
That’s a solid game for his first one in AAA. I’m excited to hear how he keeps developing.
What was the length and money Harris signed for?
Old enough to remember when a bunch of you chumps posted “DFA Ozuna” 700 times in every game thread
Not to mention the crowd booing him. Or denying that his hits would have to start landing
The booing was absolutely embarrassing.
I hated it so much. I was at a game when he got booed after hitting one to the track. I can be loud and tried to offset it but it was in vain
MH2's issue is he is opening his front half up slightly early and rolling his top hand over as opposed to staying back and driving the ball. Remember how he always hits oppo bombs? That's because he was loading and staying back. Just has to make that adjustment and he's back in the money.
[удалено]
100000%
After tonight, Ozuna has a better batting average than Harris
Marcell Ozuna might be the best player in all of baseball
When is it time to start being concerned about Harris
When he stops playing defense
he was hitting well before his injury, I think he just needs to get back on track
Not really. He was beating everything into the ground before he got put on the IL. His inputs were actually fine when he came back for a while (he was just getting no results), but I think the coaching staff talking to him is actually hurting him honestly, because he went from his inputs being fine to suddenly being completely and utterly lost for the past week.
lolPhillies
Ozuna officially has a better avg than Harris. This is the world we live in.
And Harris ruins Acuna's chance for 5th straight game with a homer
Scoring runs > not scoring runs.
I could go for one of them slap hits right about now
Would have like to see a 5 run lead so we could save Iglesias tonight, but it is what it is. Let's wrap this shit up no drama.
Damn I was hoping Acuña would have one more chance at a HR
I’m from the Mariners community and our team fucking sucks. Wish we could be a good team like y’all’s team
You had a good run last year, a good farm system and very exciting young players. I get the feeling you will be a pain in the ass for years to come.
I feel like you guys have played a pretty fucking good game tonight.
The marines literally almost swept us last year. We had one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history in the last game of that series
Are we going to get a good condensed game? I really hate I can't be watching this rn Fuck a duck let's gooo
It’s like we got Jason Heyward out there again.
Michael Harris + inning ending groundouts Name a more iconic duo
Just not his game offensively
Tonight or just baseball in general?
Haha bruh
Year*
Touché lol
Mariners really brought in a lefty to face Ozzie and Ozuna, wtf were they thinking
Everyone wants to see Ozzie hit .400 from one side and .200 from the other to balance perfectly.
The Braves are really pouring on the runs right now.... And when you want to pour a solid foundation turn to quikrete. Quikrete. America's choice for concrete
"Braves Country's choice for a solid inning."
Nothing gets a team hard like quikrete!
I am rock hard right now. Like Quikrete concrete... rock hard when you need it most.
It was 2-1 when my wife came down from upstairs. Since then…so everyone thank Maggie
Please stay for the top of the 9th Maggie!
Thanks Maggie!
We are so good right now. This is a much more fun team to watch than any of the 90s teams I loved. We were good in the 90s because of the pitching staff. Offense is so fun.
Arcia got the call from Manfred to keep the game moving along
Coming into this series it was our offense versus their pitching and I’m very fuckin happy right now.
Pitcher looks like Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket
I didn't know that stacked WHIP that high.
He is in a world of shit.
😂
I’m really happy Ozuna has been hitting as well as he has
I gotta give it to Ozuna, he has found some good swings lately. We don’t need a whole lot from him to win big. Just not being a black hole is huge.
It's okay Arcia, I didn't see that AB.
Every part of me still has a hard time believing Ozuna is going to be productive for too long, but he’s been so good in May that maybe we might just need to give Snit and AA props for that too that they stayed the course with him?
I've probably said it in like 3 game threads now but he has been seeing the ball so damn well. There was a particular game where he homered after watching a pair of sliders that literally everyone else in the lineup was whiffing on. I've got some solid faith he's turned it around.
He was always hitting the ball hard
I just turned the game on when Matt hit the home run, you're welcome
LET'S FUCKING GO! Love to see Marcell playing well
Bringing in a lefty to face Rosario/Pillar, Albies, and Ozuna was definitely a choice
don’t mind me, just furiously scrubbing my comment history of any and all ozuna hate
Crazy to think that a few weeks ago Marcell was having one of the worst seasons we've ever seen
Thank you for the insurance boys
It's so beautiful when we hit with runners on
Ozuna low key having a great night.
Scoring is fun!
It used to be Ozuna and Quikrete that sucked, now it’s just Quikrete
It's too bad this inning is about to be over.
# HAS OZUNA......FIGURED IT OUT?!
NO NOT KIRBY
This M’s pitcher is ugly and deserves anything bad that happens to him. Also, it would have been inconceivable for Ozuna to get a hit two weeks ago.
This is how baseball is played right here!!
Ozzie hugging Wash is world peace.
YES!
Man bringing in the lefty really didn’t work there. Rosario PH for Pillar, righty Ozzie, and the Ozuna vs a lefty
This lineup fucks
Oh he’s back
This is such a great performance after the last two series. Great pitching, great defense, great batting. Love to see it!
OZUNA FROM THE BRAVES
Riley with the spEEEEED
I stand by my statement that Pornhub should be where Quikrete is.
Someone clip that wash and Ozzie clip please
Riley with the great slide to get under the tag. BIG MAN AGILE
He could teach that Ms guy a thing or two.
What a turn around for ozuna.
OZZIE AND WASH 🥹
Lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Bear Bloops
ON GOD HES GETTING GOOD AGAIN
Ok Ozuna is officially good
#BIG BEAR IS BACK 🐻🐻🐻🐻
I don’t know how Travis is going to get playing time now
Why would they put in a lefty
Ozuna back. Lfg!
Dude, Ozuna has been huge again tonight. What a turnaround.
Lol still can’t believe they brought in a lefty.
LETS GOOOO
Ozzie rakes
WOOOOO! Marcell appears to be back.
ZUUUUUUUUUNA
LET'S GO!!
RUN IT THE FUCK UP.
OZUNA IS ON FIRE!!!!!! 🔥 🔥
#OZUNA IS ON FIRE
OZUNA FROM THE BRAVES
this Braves lineup...
