SUNDAY MINORS FINAL 5/13/18: Record day for Riley!

[Garmel]

Austin Riley has a legit chance to be the good Troy Glaus, that's a pretty good comp I think

Without the 'roids, hopefully.

Starting to look like that's a good bet for his upside for sure. Hopefully he can be more of a .270ish hitter rather than .250ish, but Glaus had a career OPS right around .850ish and was a pretty special player before age and injuries got to him. We'd be sitting pretty if Riley turns into that.

Allard, take away his first game at AAA, which he had not pitched in over 2 weeks, his ERA would be .50

Take away his first inning in AAA and it's about the same. I think he gave up three runs in his first inning.

William Contreras HR (3). 2-2 today

There's your catcher of the future. He can be as good as his brother, Willson.

 

[SJ24]

Contreras is 3-3. Single, double off the wall, homer.

We probably won’t have an answer to whether Allard’s stuff will play until he’s in the majors.

Kiley was saying in his chat that Riley would be a .260-.270 guy with 25-30 homers and fringey to average defense. We’ll see.

 

[BeanieAntics]

I'd like to see what Allard's stuff has looked like recently. Any reports out there? If he is back up in the 90s then I think we are fine.

Drew Waters homer. This has an argument to be the best day of the minor league season.

I didn't realize Allard did so well today. Dude can just pitch.

No he can't.

Riley can't hit either.

Contreras is 3-3. Single, double off the wall, homer.

Contreras 4-5 today.

Average - .286
OPS - .833

 

[Braves1976]

GM Alex Anthopoulos seem to imply a week ago that he thinks Kolby Allard is almost ready. So if needed I think we may see him too at some point.

Great game by him and Riley today. Riley had a career game, just outstanding.

 

[UNCBlue012]

No he can't.

Riley can't hit either.

Hmm... are you sure?

 

[EstebanBugatti]

Hmm... are you sure?

A real hitter would have gone 5/5 with 5 HR and 15 RBI.

He doesn't have a plus fastball, so control and mixture will have to carry him. Thing that worries me a bit about Allard is that he skews slightly toward being a fly ball pitcher and that might not be a good look for him.

 

[Orphan Black]

Riley has a good chance to make BA hotlist for the third straight week

 

[Enscheff]

I guess Riley was tired of being a singles hitter in AAA.

I guess Riley was tired of being a singles hitter in AAA.

He saw the clown show at 3b for Atlanta last night, and decided to move up his arrival
