4/16/17 Happy Bartolo Day - GDT

[auyushu]

Was a trade but nice fall back option. Allows albies to fully develop.

Yep, great move all around. Gives Albies time to develop at AAA, saves a year of control with him, and Phillips has been playing very well. Win win.

[Garmel]

INCIARTE!!!!!

[bravesfanMatt]

he's on a calorie count

Thread over. I will get the lights.

Inciarte has a sneak pull Homer swing.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

InciaHRte!!!

Pronounced In-see-a-homer-te.

Remember how everyone said the short right field was for Freeman?

[thethe]

Another hard hit out for Dansby.

[USMA76]

he's on a calorie count

Innings aren't the only thing he's eating.

[Dalyn]

I think Ender likes the new park.

[jpx7]

Inciarte's on that Hey-Zeus Juice.

[Garmel]

Okay, I think we've seen enough of Krol.

[msstate7]

Assuming flowers is ok, sign pagan and send recker down

[mossy]

C'mon Krol.

[sturg33]

No reason to have pulled Bartolo.

I know but there was a strong current of opinion on this board that, at age 36, he was essentially "done" at the major league level and that we should just bring up Albies. The jury's still out on BP but the decision's looking okay so far.

That's because for the past 5 years he's had a 95 OPS+ which clearly isn't good. He's had a good first two weeks but I think he's going to settle in where he's been offensively for the past half decade. His saving grace is that until last year he had still been good defensively. Last year his defense failed him and the popular opinion is that his age finally caught up with him in that dept. And the early indications in 2017 is that seems to be true for his defense.

[Garmel]

Let's not see Chaz Roe in the ninth either.

[Julio3000]

Is anyone allowed in there? we were thinking about going there but assumed you needed some sort of special access

That's what the cocaine is for.

[msstate7]

Let's not see Chaz Roe in the ninth either.

Gotta be EOF, right?

[The Chosen One]

It's starting to finally look like a home game now.

[thewupk]

I think Ender likes the new park.

He's just finally getting the new balls pitched to him.

[msstate7]

Nice hit, nick
