GDT 6/13/19: Keep the steak alive

[Slippyjms]

Acuna
Swanson
Freeman
Donaldson
Markakis
Albies
AR-27
Flowers
Teheran

Meant to say streak but **** it I’m sticking with it lol.

[Buzzworm]

May as well chalk up an 0-4 for Ozzie.
They moved him out of the 8 hole so he has no chance of being productive.
I believe Neck will show his veteran lairdership with a multi hit game though.

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Flowers

[CyYoung31]

Expecting a huge game from Albies.

[CyYoung31]

Expecting a yuge RBI day for lineup.

[The Chosen One]

Expecting Tehearn to surprise us and reach 100 pitches by the 5th inning instead of the 4th.

[WaitingFor2017]

For the bettors out there, the Braves win this game 6-5.

4 of the 5 best padre hitters are RH... this is a decent matchup for Julio

Kinda feel like I have to point out that Ender was giving us a putrid 61 wRC+ before going on the IL this year. Last year he only provided us with 90 wRC+. It’s not like Riley has played poor defense either although of course Ender’s better. I’d like to give Riley a chance to work through these issues especially considering he’s finding a way to keep his ops above 700 during this adjustment period.

A healthy ender is tremendously better than riley. Also 700+ ops is still pretty bad in this run scoring environment.

I don’t know that you can assume that’s what we’re getting. Back problems have a way of sticking with you.

Pretty good stats there

Kinda feel like I need to point out Inciarte was dealing with a back injury for an unknown period of time, some metrics like sprint speed and exit velocity suggest he may have been dealing with an injury for quite some time, and has proven to be a 3 win CFer when healthy.

Riley has been showing zero improvement in his plate discipline and contact numbers since getting to the MLB level, and I’ve seen zero data that suggests he is adjusting at all. Folks are still being fooled by the insane luck for his first few weeks.

Riley is no longer a negative defender, 0.7 def value according to fangraphs. Offense has fell off lately, but probably should give him props for turning around defense in quick time
