    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.

    Let’s start looking at what the Braves can get in the impending sell off for JD and DK.

    Does it make sense to use Riley on the short side of a 3-headed platoon with Markakis and Inciarte at the age of 22 and give up that development time he could be getting at AAA?

    With Duvall and Camargo (whose strong platoon side is against LHP) I don’t think it’s a reasonable course of action to relegate Riley to a role as the short side of a platoon.
    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.

    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?

    Don't let MLB find out, we'll get more penalties.

    Shall we go back and review what folks were saying about Riley while I was pointing out these red flags from week 1?
    What did they say?

    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.

    Terrible luck. Two weakly hit balls for hits.

    Acuna will have between a .300 and .320 BABIP. What did they say?
