GDT 9/3 vs Cubs

[jpack1]

Betcha a properly managed and rested Kemp posts a 900+ OPS over an entire season.

Kemp with a decent manager certainty could. Probably would. Rest 1 out of every 10 days and defensive replacement after last reasonable at bat would drastically change his production. To bad Snit the twit will never figure that out.

[jpack1]

Bad part is that everybody that watches the Braves regularly can figure out how to handle Kemp except Snitker. It's mind boggling. Worse than using Rex Brothers in high leverage situations.

Yeah but we're not privy to the info the team is

Just got to watch the game. Fried is legit. He needs to be out there every fifth day for the rest of the season and start next year in the rotation.

You see why guys like Law have not been concerned about the results this year. He is still a top prospect.

Is Max's name pronounced "fried" as in eggs or "freed" as in emancipated? Whichever, nice start for him. Hope they handle him wisely for the remainder of the season.

Freddie is being stubborn and said he plans on playing out the rest of the year. Management needs to step in and shut him down soon.

Freed

Max Fried walk rate in AA this year: 4.5 per nine innings (in a sample of 87 innings). So far in the majors it is 6.9 in a sample of 12 innings. Would be great if he could bring it down to about 3 per nine.

Something to definitely keep an eye on. I didn't see a guy that was missing by a lot yesterday. Wish I could say the same for Newk when he is on the mound.

If he's no risk of re injury then what does it matter?

Could it mess up his swing? I've heard/read about guys playing through injury and it causing them to develop bad mechanics

He's battled wrist and eye issues before and has come through it just fine.

Dansby Swanson since promotion:

SSS for sure, but 6/12 (3 games) with 2 walks (14.3%) and no Ks when not in 8-hole.

that demotion was a great move.

that demotion was a great move.

Seems that way. Dansby was 2-4 the game before demotion though

[thethe]

Dansby just needed a reset. Have a week of non stressful play and clear his head.

Playing at AAA really seemed to get him ready for the majors
