    Now Donaldson, if he does not pick it up, I would deal him at the break. Camargo would probably give us similar numbers but not strike out as much and a better average.

    I know Dr. Scheff is going to kill my posts but I don't he was old enough for me to tell you about our two hitters we watch growing up.
    As much as I love him you wouldn’t deal Donaldson to play Camargo everyday. The thought process would have to be Riley to 3rd Acuna to LF and Ender back in the everyday lineup.

    .254/.338/.423 isn't AWFUL from the left side... but his right-handed stats are just so good: .328/.352/.537

    Statcast says 409 feet which would be a homer in all but 7 parks. Interestingly Riley’s fly out was 411 feet and hit a bit harder yet just went a little more to the right of dead center resulting in an out.

    I don’t think Donaldson playing is about Donaldson. I think it is about Riley and that HBP last night.

    I was referring to the the triple. Yeah his flyout to dead center would be a homer in most scenarios. He crushed that.

    How concerned should we be about Riley's hand?

    i was pretty happy with the Joyce pickup and surprised he was just dumped like nothing. always been a solid hitter.

    Who was the guy Sheff was pining for at the time of the Joyce pickup?

    Well he’s not on the IL yet so that has to be considered a positive sign.

    He's clearly protecting McCann from the dogpile here. Probably knew he's gonna start today. Didn't want him to injure himself.

    I love these guys! This has been one crazy series. The Pirates just chip away at them, rather relentlessly hitting groundballs through holes, and the Braves answer by hitting bombs.

    I can't imagine what's in store for today. Probably a 3-1 snoozer.
