I'd almost guarantee it at this point.

[QUOTE=Enscheff;664049]Riley figuring out his contact and plate discipline issues and turning into a RHH Jake Lamb would be the absolutely amazing. We won't know until ~100 PAs into the MLB season if anything has actually changed, but hitting well now is certainly better than hitting poorly now...even if it is pretty meaningless either way
Agree
Riley isn’t facing pitchers with advance scouting reports. He’s facing guys working on something and guys who will be in the minors.
Until he lays off pitches outside of the zone and stops swinging and missing inside the zone on the mlb level,I’m not sold.
I assume the Braves have exit velocities and other metrics to make better decisions than I do.
My worry with Riley is that he’s a aaaa guy now. He can’t get better in aaa bc they don’t have the scouting reports and stuff for him to prove anything. So you have to gamble on him at the mlb level
He has a history of struggling in his jump up a level and then adjusting and thriving

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

O'Brien hit his 4th HR of ST.
Could he push Alonzo out of picture??

I wonder how effective it would be for teams to tell folks with a fever or a cough to stay home and offer refunds to them no questions asked. That would at least cut down on the risk some.
thank you weso1!

Just wait until a player in the NBA, NHL, or MLB gets it. Will teams be quarantined? Games cancelled?

Alonso is in the picture?

If you think America is divided right now, imagine the pandemonium and the conspiracy theories if a Presidential candidate got it.
Hopefully none of them do... they all at age that it could be lethal
Imagine the social media reaction if, during the Biden-Bernie debate this week, one of them so much as coughs.
Weigel victim of some very shoddy defense ...
He got out of it - Braves win, pitching looked very solid throughout
I mean they have enough money (and power in Trump's case) to provide the sort of care that would likely allow for a fairly quick recovery. Still, it would have a major affect on the elections.
I think some of that might be posturing on Snitker’s part; but, either way, I was just stating what I hoped would / thought should happen. There’s just nobody else in camp rn that looks worthy of that final bench spot, especially if it means opening up a spot on the 40-man.

When has Alonzo ever been in the picture? No chance O'Brien or Alonzo makes the club
Not really... Fried was insanely lucky and was all over the place. His control was awful.

A massive part of Fried's 2019 success was the dramatic improvement of his control to 2.55 BB/9. His control is something to keep an eye on for sure.
