6/30 GDT: Atlanta Braves (37-41) vs. Oakland Athletics (35-44)

[The Tariff King]

Yeah, but his bat has definitely helped so keep complaining about the obvious. Do you regret trading for him?

Stop. Do NOT engage.

 

[The Tariff King]

He has produced 0.1 WAR this year and his contract is preventing the Braves from adding a LFer that is actually good.

Of course I wish the Braves didn't trade for him. Only derptards still think Kemp is a positive for this team.

Stop. Just stop.

 

[Enscheff]

Stop. Just stop.

I just added him to ignore. That should solve it.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good gravy. We can't even enjoy a pitching gem like Folty did tonight without some nonsense going on. Sheesh

 

[goldfly]

what a game from Folty

sucks he struck him out and it wasn't called before giving up that homerun

You simply not being a dick all the time would solve a lot of things too.

 

[CyYoung31]

Holy crap, how much better did our away greys look with that red-billed cap?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dang! I missed a potential no-hitter. So awesome for Folty! This is why you trust the young guns.

 

[The Tariff King]

Holy crap, how much better did our away greys look with that red-billed cap?

I didn't even notice that. Classic road uniform is the best.

Our future rotation is going to be sick.

I'm a believer in Teheran still.

Me too thethe.

Idk whose idea it was to switch to the spring training like navy tops and take away the Red bill but they should be gone.

I'm not giving up on Teheran; but I'd feel much better about him if MLB would ditch the ping pong balls they're currently using.

 

[TheBravos]

If we have hit on Folty and Newk, the rebuild is a success. We definitely have 3,4,5 guys in the system at the very least.

 

[chipchildress]

this gem is why i believe the strategy of hunting out pitching studs is a great one. get a good enough rotation and nothing else matters.

This....easy to win games when you are only letting up 2 per game.

good defense helps in run prevention

i was also impressed by the veteran clutchness from Phillips and Kemp in the ninth

 

[thewupk]

He also had a big RBI.

His 38 RBI aren't that impressive. Of those that have qualified as LFers he's about middle of the pack as a hitter and at the bottom of the list defensively with Khris Davis.

You're a whirlwind... now that RBIs don't look good for kemp, RBIs are a good measure. Earlier when it was a good stat for Kemp, they meant nothing. If you don't quit holding your nuts on kemp, you may not be able to have children later in life

ETA... I'm no big stat guy, but you think losing FF's .461 OBP in front of him, hurt kemp's RBI total? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes
