GDT: 5/9 at Rays

[msstate7]

Acuna's defense is really no surprise. I'm telling you he was bad at Mississippi in cf.

 

[sturg33]

After 2 weeks of watching, Acuna is a really bad defender in left

It's ridiculous that they're still playing baseball in this meat locker

 

[msstate7]

Camargo isn’t taking advantage of his chance with Swanson on the DL. He may not see another 200 PAs this season.

He certainly doesn't look good right now

next Justin Upton

I missed the analytics video... wonder how to go find it

 

[msstate7]

Would Bobby have pulled acuna there?

Would Bobby have pulled acuna there?

If he was managing in 95? Yes. 2005? Probably not.

 

[Orphan Black]

Teheran's velocity is down again this start. Not as bad as in New York, but sitting 87 - 88 for the most part.

Not in this park. Outfielders get a lot of slack with this roof.

Who was it that said the Braves should trade Ender so Acuna could play CF?

Someone foolish. I watched him 2 times in Mississippi and knew he was no cf. Bad angles

You guys are criticizing a 20 year old kid for not being able to flag down a fly ball in Tropicana field? Rough crowd.

 

[msstate7]

Julio gassing them lol

He has not been good in the field. He will smash the ball with his bat, but he isn't winning games with his glove

Not saying he will but he made every play he was supposed to and some he shouldn't have so far.

 

[thewupk]

nice to see Swanson Jr take control there

 

[bravesfanMatt]

JT.. the staff ace

It's easy to see he takes bad routes to balls right now. His speed will make up for a lot of that currently.

Surprisingly, he is 0.2 def value on fangraphs. I probably am being too critical, but I suppose I got this way bc he started in cf the first time I saw him... you gotta be good there, and he was pretty shaky
