GDT 6/11: pirates @ braves

[CyYoung31]

Man it seems like AA just keeps pulling the right strings. I hated the BMac signing

? I’ve been told he’s an incompetent GM.

[Super]

let’s gooooo mac. way to bust it back open.

[CyYoung31]

Btw, did anyone see that bat flip by McCann? I thought he didn’t like that?

[Heyward]

Big Mac

[thewupk]

JTR who?

Haha. He would still lead the Braves in fWAR though

[CyYoung31]

Chip's call there was tremendous. And BMac CRUSHED that ball...oh my word...

WHAT A CUT

[Heyward]

Man it seems like AA just keeps pulling the right strings. I hated the BMac signing

I've been told he's an idiot on here.

[CyYoung31]

Haha. He would still lead the Braves in fWAR though

But at what cost?

[striker42]

Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaap

[TheBravos]

Archer was pitching scared to him. So glad that trade wasn’t made...

[nsacpi]

I thought Snit was bad about it but the Pirates are forever leaving their starters in too long

their pen is worn down...makes sense for Hurdle to stick with his starter little longer than usual

[CyYoung31]

Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaap

I think I'm more on the side of "Folty isn't that good of a pitcher.

I mean, it's not like he's that young. He'll be 28 in October (for perspective, Julio is 28).

This is his 5th season with the Braves. His fWAR in those seasons:

2015 - 0
2016 - 1.4
2017 - 1.6
2018 - 3.8
2019 - -0.5

I think it's more likely last year was the outlier, and his true talent level is closer to a 1.5-2 win pitcher.

I still think he's a 3-4 win pitcher when right—but that qualifier is exactly why, even though I'm a fan, I thought calls to extent him made no sense. Who knows if he'll be right enough again during his arbitration years to reach that potential.

Quality posting tonight gentlemen! Keep it up!

He learned a few things in Houston thanks to their #analytics.

I thought Trea Turner was Atlanta's Newman, but I guess it might be this Newman kid.

[Super]

i really like having Touki and Newcomb out of the pen. wish Newk were just being left there.

[Braves1976]

taking Touki out after the k for Minter.

[Freshmaker]

inward strides the Minty Hippo..
