GDT Thurs, 7/5 vs Brewers

[Julio3000]

There's a scene in David Simon's Treme where one of the main characters, a working musician, realizes after tying himself in knots trying to elevate his craft, that's he's ok being the 6th or 7th best trombone player in New Orleans. That's where I am with Dansby. I don't think he sucks, in absolute terms, I just think he's mediocre and, given the early Alan Trammell/Barry Larkin dreaming, that's a bit of a tough pill to swallow. He tops out at the bottom of the best third of MLB SS. He bottoms out at the bottom of the middle third. After nearly 1000 MLB PAs, that just kinda seems like who he is. High floor, low ceiling.

We’ve really got to get a viable pinch hitter.

What about the team?

Is Sam good again?

According to how many times snit uses him this series

[Enscheff]

Dansby can't hit

Dansby fckn sucks.

He was literally sitting on the hook and still missed it.

Swanson is awful. I’ve been hopeful he would figure it out but he sucks.

We ain't winning this one.

You just figuring this out. I really think we might get swept

Lol

I don't like those kind of bets. Not trying to make the board smaller

Just think of making it better.

[sturg33]

Lol

Since I'm quoted in this post... I assume you take Dansby's career 77 wRC+ as proof that I'm wrong?

[msstate7]

This road trip is taking a turn for the worse after a great start. I'm not panicking just yet, but I'm really a little worried some now. Nats had their big moment tonight kind of like the huge come back vs the braves a couple years ago. Nats and Phillies will more than willing to add pieces we really can't unless we cash in big future assets.

When you can't hit Chacin, you ain't hitting their pen.

Swanson good with glove but he can’t hit. Period. Over 1000 PAs now and it clearly shows sub par. Showing zero signs of progress as well.

You didn't ask me, but seems odd you guys single out the 8-hole hitter on a night the braves have 3 hits total. Yeah, all Swanson's fault...

Swanson definitely needs to hit better though

I mean he hasn't done anything in a long time...

The Brewers are a good team. So are the Yanks

Most 8-hole hitters don't.
