Riley with 2 errors today, both throwing errors. Gives him 4 errors this season

He must be working on things. Wait that saying doesn’t work with defense too.Originally Posted by bravesfanforlife88

Here's video of the Riley homer: https://www.milb.com/video/riley-dri...e/c-2524752483.
Supposedly measured 492 feet!
492?!?!?!? That seems unbelievable. What is the longest homer in the majors this year. I mean that ball was eviscerated but 500 feet.

Btw. That was 94 FB he crushed. Bat speed seemed fine there.

Yeah, but based on the fans' reactions, it looks like it went over the berm and into the street. So it's possible.
"Acuna is getting lucky, just like CJ did when he batted .321 and won a batting title. He is unlikely to get lucky at the MLB level over an extended period of time. He will settle in around .300-.320 just like everyone else, and when he does, he won't be within shouting distance of the 1.000 OPS he is posting in AAA...more like low .700s in 2018." -Enscheff 8/25/17
Exit velocity of 142.9 mph.
Seems like the only question left with Riley is how much of his 70 raw power will his hit tool allow him to translate to game power.
That question probably can't be answered at AAA. If JD goes down for any extended period of time, I think we need to see Riley in Atlanta. He's had ~740 PAs in AA/AAA, so it's not exactly rushing him at this point.

Greg: Austin Riley’s struck out 29.3% of the time in 324 PAs in Triple A last year. So far in 103 PAs, that’s down to 21.4%. Is that sample size substantial enough to be taken seriously? Also, have you heard anything about his performance?

Kiley McDaniel: I got one game where he went off, but from asking around it sounds like he’s done a better job staying shorter to the ball than he has in the past
His issue was never bat speed, it was swing length. It's a very good sign if he's making progress on that.

The drop in Riley's strikeout rate is a big deal. Reason to believe!

Duvall with a 2 RBI double to right center. It's always a good sign when you see power hitters going the other way.

Probably time to see if its real at the MLB level as well. I like Joyce but Duvall has more potential.

Riley and Duvall both doing work. Damn.
You have to wonder what could have been done to improve the pen with 23 million and just let camargo play third while Riley perculated.
I love Camargo to a degree. But I must be the only one thinking a regular utility role is where he belongs. That said, a lot of us wanted to do things differently.
This cannot be real.
