Ok. I’ll try. But it will be difficult to get the Mrs on board. She has singing shows to watch.

I agree that that second call was bad, but it wasn't clear to me that he didn't tag him on the helmet on the first call. I think that is what the home plate ump saw and it couldn't be determined that it didn't happen in the review process.

I'd like to apologize for tonight's effort. I wore my 2016 World Champion socks today.
Superstition tells me that our record seems less good when I do. My bad. Sorry.

Couple minutes ago, I thought Chatwood was in great shape to go deep in this game.
Not much changed, but he's gone now.

That Almora catch was incredible. He has to has to has to be the every day CF. #FreeAlmora
Yeah I was watching while surfing CF on my computer and looked up and he was gone. Didn't think he was in much trouble and probably could've gone at least another inning. Oh well
Braves are going to be good for awhile. Acuna and Albies are studs and they have a lot of other pieces too. If they get some pitching they could legitimately be contenders for the next few years

Maybe its just a few bad incidences spoiling the bunch but I feel like Edwards has always been kind of bad.
I've always liked him but he does seem to struggle in high pressure situations. And maybe that's not the case but I think I agree with you somewhat. I think he's too dependent on his fastball.
Then he should prove it. Too inconsistent to be given the 8th in competitive games at this point.
It puts a lot of stress on a pitcher who struggles to throw strikes and relies on swings at balls out of the zone to get outs.
