GDT 4/6 - Garcia @ Harvey

[sturg33]

Still content it was nonsense to bring up Swanson when we did.

But it's early... no use in overreacting yet. At least we've faced stellar pitching

[sturg33]

Hard to do that when you don't understand the original logic :)

You never explained to me the difference between not playing to win every game in a lost season is principally different than selling off huge assets to begin a rebuild

[Garmel]

Swanson looks absolutely overmatched right now at the plate.

I think you can say that about the entire lineup except for Kemp.

[Braves1976]

Time for our big 9th inning rally!

Why don't you start by not misrepresenting what I've said in the past and then I'll respond to your trap questions.

[msstate7]

Night to forget... our stud SS continues to look lost at the plate, fried rocked/injured, Blair destroyed, Ruiz 2 errors 0 hits, and Albies 0-3 2 Ks

I believe you said something to the effect of "rbi's and era are good stats because it showed actual results, and aren't predictive of future"

And I believe that same logic would go towards saying Kemp gets 0 WAR today because the results didn't impact in a win.

Of course, what I'm saying is nonsense... but it's the same logic

[jsebe10]

Gotta mix the 1-2 hitters up. Fckn atrocious series

[Enscheff]

For those keeping score at home, the Braves have scored 5 runs total in 3 games. It will be a small miracle if this offense isnt one of the worst 10 in MLB.

[Garmel]

Scary thing is if it wasn't for a hot Kemp we probably would have been shutout all three games. Awful.

Since you're really into 3-game samples, kemp has to an all star lock, right?

KeMVP! KeMVP! KEMVP!

Remember last year when we thought we would set a new record for lowest HRs by a lot? Yeah, this is like that. We've also had some terrible sequencing.

Slightly unrelated, but KeMVP needs to become a thing.

We were also going to set the all time loss record. Blah. Blah. Blah. He is the anti-thethe

[msstate7]

Is the szczur trade talk dead?

[Enscheff]

Yes, he will produce 30+ WAR this season and AL teams will be fighting for the right to trade for him.

Do I have the Kemp hype dialed in?

[Enscheff]

Do we spell it KeMVP, or KEMvP, or simply KEMVP?

We need to stay consistent for it to catch on.

For what it's worth, I prefer KeMVP to emphasis that in my head I say "kem vee pee".

30+? Come on dude, it'll be around 14.5

I vote KeMVP.

If it becomes huge, we should pretend we started it (I bet it was big in LA back in the day though).

[cajunrevenge]

I see Kemp continues to dissapoint. Turrible trade.

[UNCBlue012]

I think Kemp has all but locked up the MVP in game three -- what a freaking baller.

On that note, I'm not upset with Swanson because he's a kid and is learning -- I get annoyed with Freeman looking confused though. Dude is a veteran. Struggling happens, but he looks as lost as the rookies!
