expecting a yuge game from Flowers

So Camargo goes down to AAA and puts up an OPS of 1.221. He hits a double and home run in his first two ABs back.

And Snit goes with Hamilton instead of him as a pinch hitter last night and now goes with Riley and Duvall against a lefty.

Hope this doesn't mean that Camargo won't be seriously considered for a spot on the post-season roster. He needs to be in the mix. And he needs some ABs so the team can evaluate how well he is swinging the bat.

I think Snit is not a fan of Camargo's casual and laid back attitude.

You speak with forked tongue. Not every one feels the way you do about players on this team or the way the team plays.

[drewdat]

I believe 6/9/19 was the last day that we hadn't ended Washington's season

I see someone doesn't know what "speak with forked tongue" means.

Probably thinks he’s the reason Acuña didn’t sprint on that ball against LA.

Nope that was my fault. I’m pretty sure I’m 0 for the season in GDTs. I started a GDT that series and was at the game behind home plate when Acuña got benched. So I’ll take the blame there

[Dalyn]

Freeman's numbers against lefties this year surprised me. I would've thought they were better. Lowest since 2015.

One of his worst defensive seasons as well.

Both split numbers and defensive scores are pretty volatile from year to year. Small samples. No one accumulates a large number of ABs against lefty pitching in a single season. In both cases, I am inclined to say it is mostly noise.

He's also had a relatively unlucky season with respect to BABIP.

Maybe so. UZR says his range is well below anything he has shown to this point in his career though. My eye test would tend to agree that he's had a disappointing year in the field. Odd considering he's been fairly healthy.

Just something to keep an eye on as we get closer to his contract expiration.

I can't really fault Snit for using Riley in cOF over Camargo vs a LHP. Now the fact Riley is in RF while Duvall is in LF is a bit odd, but whatever.

Riley has handled the OF pretty well, and I think he's most likely to be the best platoon option in a cOF slot.

Nervous about tonight’s game with SAV’s GDT title. Gonna take a YUGE performance from Riley and DK to overcome this early deficit.

There was no issue with today's GDT title. Take it back. I am just prepping myself for when I go back to Europe in a few weeks for work.
