Riley is legit.

Do we try him in LF come July?

[Russ2dollas]

Riley is legit.

Do we try him in LF come July?

Dh when we are in the World Series

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Riley is legit.

Do we try him in LF come July?

My prediction is Donaldson will either get injured or need an "IL rest" soon if Riley keeps this up at the plate.

[CJ9]

Drew Waters walk off homer. Third of the year.

[thewupk]

Riley is legit.

Dont get too excited. He's just benefiting from a juiced ball.

[msstate7]

Dont get too excited. He's just benefiting from a juiced ball.

The juice must have made it bigger since Riley not missing it as much

[thewupk]

The juice must have made it bigger since Riley not missing it as much

He knows he can cut down on the swing some with the way balls are flying out right now

[Hudson2]

2bb for Riley too.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

2bb for Riley too.

I think he is ready, whatever happened to the saying if you hit they will find a place for you in the lineup? I bet if he played for the Dodgers they'd find a place for him to play.

Is the rainout count in Florida still the same?

[Russ2dollas]

It’s the mlb ball. So why not get excited?

No way is Riley better than Donaldson right now. Riley always struggles early when he jumps a level. Donald’s is an ok base machine.

It’s still a small sample. He’s still young. Let him play. 22 million bought us an extra year of Riley control.

When he hits 200/250/400 with a 25 percent k rate for the first month next year people will freak out.

[Russ2dollas]

I keep telling myself that the braves cannot be lucky enough to have two more position guys who are able to impact at 21 after acuna. The sample size is still small.

But the scouts and the results seem to be very positive.

Starting to dream of a team where neck is our fourth of....

Good thing we fired the guys responsible for those drafts!!

Wow that has to be one of the worst walk off calls I have ever heard. Also I forgot how much those brave logo Segway that looks like they are going to a replay to just cut back to live tv but me. I never understood why they did that.

But great swing and excited to see how those two do in Gwinnett. Wonder if they keep them together

[CJ9]

And here's video of the Pache homer: https://twitter.com/mbraves/status/1126116165133189120

What...the.......

[bravesfanMatt]

What...the.......

Watch the replay and when waters is running the bases a Braves logo swings in like they are cutting over to a replay but instead it goes right back to waters running the bases. Like why did they swing that logo in. It usually is a segway or transition. But not for milb tv. So weird. And they do that ALL the time.

Haha no I know, that thing has always bewildered me. Was just messing with you cause that sentence makes no sense.

Smoked. Those two are hitting the cover off it right now. Keep it up guys!

It really didn’t. I was walking and typing and didn’t do a good job on what I was trying to say. A bit better the next go at it.

[Enscheff]

Good to see Pache making progress in areas everyone said he needed to make progress. At this point he and Waters are lining up to be serious options sometime in the middle/end of 2020.

That timeline is critical. I think a lot of people are going to want to put them on the opening day roster.

I'm with you that they likely need another year. STill very young so the sample size is pretty small.

[clvclv]

Florida:

Kingham - 6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Old for the level - completely smoke and mirrors.

[bravesfanMatt]

6 innings and 2 Ks is probably smoke and mirrors. Probably.

His stuff resembles Mike Fiers. Oh wait...

Are you saying that to be snarky or do you know this. His control seems to be on point but not sure I like a guy not missing a lot of bats.

Snarky about the entire thing - he's obviously only having success because he's competing against children.

damn dude.
no one suggests that's the only reason.
it's definitely something relevant to note, tho. it's important.

[Deester11]

damn dude.

it's definitely something relevant to note, tho. it's important. Kingham is capable of decent strikeout numbers if that were his game and if he were consistent. Right now, it's not just age, his FB has heavy sink. Higher milb'ers would struggle to make solid contact off of him.

i know nothing about the guy honestly...just commenting on the silly reverse-hyperbole being used to try and make a point.

Its kind of ironic after all the debates about pitching vs hitting prospects here we are with a great offense and **** pitching.

[50PoundHead]

For the record, Kingham is not old for the FSL. In fact, he's about a year younger than the average player in the league at this point in the season. I'm curious to see how he does moving forward. He was better as a sophomore at the University of Texas than he was as a junior, which dinged his draft status.

Right. The age issue isn't a problem here, despite the strange posts clvclv continues to make.

When someone with below average intelligence tries to be clever the result is usually nonsensical.

Well that seals it, Kingham is going to be a TOR pitcher!

[Southcack77]

the Braves have had a fairly high hit rate on the pitching they stockpiled in the rebuild, IMO. I think it's gone remarkably well all things considered.

[Southcack77]

I kind of circled him as one to watch when he was drafted, but this is just more reason to believe!

[Deester11]

Matt Powers just tweeted almost exactly what I said and Jason Woodell provided video. https://twitter.com/jasonatthegame/status/1125961711528312837?s=21

General thought is that when he backs off of his fastball, he gets more movement. Who knew?

[zbhargrove]

Kingham was always thought to be a high upside late pick so keep making those clv comments

I don't know who or what your referring to, but I was referencing why he doesn't strike out 10 a game...clv...he's his own entity

I wasn't replying to you Deester... no worries!

I knew. You had clv and I in the same post and that is scary..lol.
