GDT 8/19/24: Braves @ Angels - For a Winning Western Road Trip

This board's love of hard hit ground balls is weird. I thought you advance stats guys know how bad ground balls are in mlb
 
Somewhere along the way yall went from I'd rather a k than a ground ball to celebrate hard hit ground balls which are the worst kind with a runner on 1b

The idea is I would rather have a strikeout than someone adjust their swing to just make contact which would usually result in weakly hit balls. None of that is what Olson did or usually does.
 
So if Riley is IL'd, is it alejo Lopez?
