I hope we destroy Bumgarner to the point our fans stop clamoring for him.

If we do then he will be even cheaper and thus only strengthing my desire for him.

Can you imagine Newk and The Bum pitching in the same game?

 

[Enscheff]

I hope Acuna starts jumping for all fly balls since he can’t seem to camp under any haha

 

[Enscheff]

Acuña’s play in CF compared to struggling some and looking lost at times in LF is perplexing, maybe he just likes to play CF more or maybe he has just improved at a rapid rate.

So you’re a fan of him leaping to catch balls 10’ in front of the wall that he should be standing under?

This is why fan eye test for defense is useless.

 

[Russ2dollas]

I don’t think Riley has a bat speed problem..

92. Center cut

Has he put any good contact on 95 plus? Has hit a 92 plus not center cut?

How many major leaguers can hit 95+ that isn't center cut?

Sounds like a hefty bar we are setting to show who was 'right' about Riley.

 

[thethe]

Lets not forget in addition to the homer and walk Riley hit another rocket for an out. Guy is locked in right now and its a joy to watch.

Just like in the minors he is going to struggle and it probably won't look good for a while but he has earned the right to finish out the season starting 90+% of the remaining games. We should not be seeing Ender much at all before the 8th inning for the rest of the season.

Bravse are currently have the last WC spot to themselves. Looks a lot better than the state the Braves were in after the LA series.

Top 6th on Tuesday night vs moronta... he drove a 96 mph fastball to deep center that advanced Donaldson to 3rd and markakis to 2b

 

[thethe]

In his first cup of coffee, riley has a 60% hard hit rate. Thatll do

I’m not sure what else Riley can do. He’s pretty much doing the same in the pros as AAA. I feel for Ender because he’s a gold glover, but I don’t know how you don’t have Riley in the line-up every night. He makes a really good line-up into a great one.

Scary thing is that as young as he is....he has improved EVERY year. What will be look like at 24 years old??

 

[Super]

but is it Donnie Veal proof

that's a name i haven't thought about in a while.

correct. good hitters consistently hit the bad pitches and even the good ones will struggle with perfect 95+ MPH pitches.
good pitchers make bad pitches at times and good hitters hit them.

Freddie has been on some kind of tear.

 

[thewupk]

Freddie has been on some kind of tear.

Should get him a couple of all-star votes

 

[Super]

Soroka and Fried have GB% of 56.5% and 55.7% respectively, which rank 5th and 6th in the league (min. 40 IP).

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The giants are e a bad team but Fried was still impressive with pretty crappy Command.

Soroka starts the game or else its not really the beat of the best
