We have an elite closer pitching against the bottom of a pathetic lineup. Makes sense that we panic about the NL East lead right now.

I think at this point that Duvall is going to be used as trade bait. Camargo has been terrible vs everyone, lefties included. Maybe we could get the real Camargo back by the playoffs if he gets some playing time. Maybe.
As for Riley, getting to play vs every LHP and giving Donaldson and Markakis days off during a playoff run in the majors is valuable development in and of itself, arguably more than getting regular playing time in the minors. It also makes our major league team better.
We are so lucky to have Acuna.
Swanson has left seven men on base. Damn.
Did Acuna just do a salute to the ball after he hit that single before dropping his bat?
How many here would be calling for him to be beamed if on the other team after bat flipping another single Against Yammy?
While I don’t think Duvall has any trade value of note, I can’t really argue too much with anyone who wants to keep Riley at the MLB level as a part time player in a season where the Braves have legit postseason aspirations.
It’s a now vs future debate, and nobody knows for sure if or how much a part time role at the MLB level will hurt/help Riley moving forward.

Wish Alfaro had traditional catcher's speed.
What crap luck
lol
Terrible luck. Two weakly hit balls for hits.
It’s unreal how unlucky Luke has been this year
