GDT 3/31/18 Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez) @ Atlanta Braves (McCarthy)

[phillychuck]

One of the real Achilles Heels of this team is they just have so many guys who chase the ball out of the zone...really strange for a team that supposedly pays attention to analytics. Williams, Alfaro, Franco, Kingery, Herrera at times--all of these guys need to learn to be a bit more selective. Although if Kingery hits like he has so far I don't are what he swings at.

This pitching staff is gonna set some pretty ugly records if this keeps up. One of them has got to learn to get outs. Ryan Flaherty looks like freaking Babe Ruth.
