GDT 9/3 vs Cubs

[steveAKAslick]

Mind blowing that Brothers is warming up for the 9th right now, Viz hasn't pitched since last Wednesday I believe

Let's see how Swanson handles these sliders

Swanson...

 

[msstate7]

Swanson is gonna be a really good, maybe great player for us for years to come

 

[Enscheff]

6 straight fastballs to Swanson. Baffling pitch sequence. Swanson has proven beyond all doubt he can handle any fastball, and they give him 6 in a row?

Thank you!

 

[UNCBlue012]

RUIZ

Thank you!

Especially a fastball on the inner third. He can smoke that pitch with regularity.

 

[steveAKAslick]

Is Sanchez with Gwinnett still or is he getting the Snitker new guy treatment? Find it hard to believe he's worse than Freitas

Pinch hit last night I believe... Struck out.

Winning pitcher: Max Fried

Rio Ruiz: 3 RBIs

The future is now. Bench Kemp for keeps. Maybe his hammy will heal by March.

Put Camargo in LF and see what develops.

Elephant hasn't been getting nearly enough exercise lately. I'm sure that next spring we'll hear that "he's in the best shape of his life."

 

[UNCBlue012]

If Adonis (when he's back) gets more than a spot start at third and takes bats away from Rio and Camargo, I'll rage.

We're stuck with Kemp for two more seasons because the FO doesn't know how to evaluate MLB talent

they wanted that traditional power out of LF

That .808 OPS is hella-good. Which is weird bc thethe assured me he'd carry .900+ for remainder of his deal

105 WRC+ this season. Right in line with his 2016, 2015, and 2013 numbers. This is who he is right now.

 

[Enscheff]

Betcha a properly managed and rested Kemp posts a 900+ OPS over an entire season.

I agree. Kemp can still hit

I'll take that bet... Kemp just isn't that good
