Expecting a yuge game from Albies

 

[clvclv]

Hopefully a few days away allowed Riley to clear his head and watch his recent ABs compared to the ones from a month ago.

 

[Enscheff]

Riley has been swinging at the same pitches and missing the same pitches during his entire MLB stint.

The only thing different now is the luck faded.

I hope you are wrong and I think deep down you hope so too.

I hope you are wrong and I think deep down you hope so too.

yes. everyone hopes that their teams players reach the 1% and defy all odds. that said the Braves recent wave of top position prospects (Albies, Acuna, and Swanson) have all met or exceeded their potential, imo. Not everyone will hit and I think of the Braves position guys ranked in the top 50 of the last few years (and that includes current guys in Waters and Pache) that Riley is the one that has the highest bust chance.

 

[cajunrevenge]

This Padres pitcher has a 30 grade name. Hopefully we beat the bricks off him

“When you play for the Braves, you win or ChopCountry crucifies you.”

Let’s win this!

 

[salmagundy]

The game hasn't even started and Chip with a glaring error.He said that the Braves are 6 games ahead of Nats. Not true. Nats have won already today and are 5.5 games back not 6. Their win game was over before Chip took to the booth.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Damn Home Run Derby. Acuna is broken.

 

[Hudson2]

Dansby with a double

 

[salmagundy]

How are the Braves blessed with this umpire crew?? Dana Demuth behind the plate, and one of the Braves all time favs(hehe) Angel Hernandez at 1st, and Carlos Torres at 3rd.

 

[CyYoung31]

Did you see the umps arm? Damn.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Oh fantastic. Now we get Angel Hernandez.

 

[CyYoung31]

Oh fantastic. Now we get Angel Hernandez.

2nd half collapse begins in earnest.

 

[thewupk]

ump got ****ed up

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I know we criticize the umpires a lot (many times deserved), but as evidenced there, being the home plate ump is not an easy job

 

[jpack1]

That umps arm looked bad.

 

[salmagundy]

Oh fantastic. Now we get Angel Hernandez.

Will this game replace/count as his scheduled game behind the plate tomorrow?? Or are we faced with Angel behind the plate for 2 games in a row.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I've never seen an ump's arm shake like that. Man, that was nasty
