GDT 5/16: Julion v Waino

[bravesfanMatt]

But how do you really feel Matt? Ha..

Not sure. Let me think about it. Yes he is a piece of ****.

 

[Braves1976]

smart to walk Acuna there with Swanson on deck. Swanson came in hitless vs Wainright and stays hitless.

 

[CyYoung31]

Acuna getting the Bonds treatment already, legend.

That .830 OPS and falling is scary.

 

[BeanieAntics]

I think he's going to make a lot of dangerous contact. His thing will be how often he makes contact. What he's done in AAA has been a great sign.

Agreed. If Riley keeps his K% at or under 20%, the dude is gonna be a star. I'm gonna be interested to see how he reacts to facing guys with better stuff than Wainwright and Wacha.

 

[Enscheff]

A K rate under 20 for Riley would be a dream come true. The goal for sluggers like him is 25%ish.

That double was a thing of beauty.

But, he’s a Greek deity.

Which makes his .293 Avg that much better than a .257

He’s had a lot of batted-ball luck from the Olympian half of his parentage. Get back to me when you’ve read your Hesiod. #analytics

 

[USMA76]

Nice job by Julio to carve up Goldschmidt.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Did anyone just hear that guy in the stands singing "Say My Name???" Haha that was hilarious

 

[USMA76]

Cards broadcast said on this date in 1998 McGuire hit a 545 foot home run. That has to be a record--even for the Cardinals strength and conditioning program.

 

[buck75]

Riley rally

 

[Braves1976]

Way to go kid!

 

[BeanieAntics]

Okay. Riley is a superstar. Sign him to a 10 year 40 million dollar contract ASAP.

 

[Hudson2]

Riley brought his tear to the big leagues. He’s just on another level right now.

 

[TheBravos]

We might look back at the Marlins not taking our JTR trade offer as unbelievable luck.

 

[USMA76]

If you'd have told me prior to the game we'd light up Wainwright for four runs in 2.1 innings, I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.

 

[The Tariff King]

Riley reminds me of a Mark DeRo/Joey Bats hybrid at the plate.

 

[CyYoung31]

Damn. We would’ve had Acuna up with two on.

 

[salmagundy]

2 RBIs for Julio!!! WOW!!!

 

[The Tariff King]

Okay. Riley is a superstar. Sign him to a 10 year 40 million dollar contract ASAP.

I'd be willing to go 10/50 if he keeps hitting like this.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Ozzie a little overly aggressive there, but may have kept it from being a play at the plate.
