GDT: 7/29 Braves Home Opener

[UNCBlue012]

Ender with two really good at-bats tonight

 

[mfree80]

Not if you’re planning on tagging up. It looked like CF was going to catch it, so tagging is the right play.

Hmmm. Not sure about tagging on his throwing arm, but I get it.

 

[Snowman]

How do we calculate WAR in this shortened season if this win will be 2.57 wins.

Multiply it all by 2.7!



[except for the replacement level, because (x*2.7)/(y*2.7) = x/y ]

 

[USMA76]

Eight Ks in this game so far but it seems like our at bats have been a lot more competitive tonight.

Edit: and one of the Ks (in Acuña's previous at bat) was complete horse[poop].

 

[Snowman]

I'm telling you, man, put everyone in the Naked Gun full body condoms, let Freddie have a day to hug everyone to his heart's content, and all offensive struggles will dissipate.

 

[thewupk]

Wtf Ozuna?!

To be fair Johans ball should have been caught. Ozuna would have them be able to tag up.

 

[Snowman]

Dude comes in to face Acuna, and Chip decides it's a good time to remind us that he's the guy who turned Freddie's wrist into wet newspaper. Thanks, man!

i feel he could be an MVP contender this season

 

[Southcack77]

A lefty to pitch to Acuna?

 

[CrazyTrain]

Acuña missed a 93 mph trash heater right in his wheel house.

Going back and jumping he wouldn't had no chance

 

[thewupk]

Acuña missed a 93 mph trash heater right in his wheel house.

Hes not there yet. He will get there though.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Hes not there yet. He will get there though.

I know. It’s just crazy to see.

 

[KOdawg1]

Acuna's OBP shouldn't be terrible. He's drawn several walks and gotten HBP a couple of times. Just needs to get his timing down

 

[USMA76]

I haven't been able to watch all of this year's games, but what I've seen of Riley's defense at third this year has been solid.

 

[CyYoung31]

This has been a long ass game.

 

[USMA76]

This has been a long ass game.

Yep, three hours and 15 minutes with two out in the top of the eighth. Maddux could've nearly pitched two games in that amount of time.

 

[jsebe10]

Show me a 6-4 up the middle better than ours and I’ll post a dick pic....ya can’t.

 

[Super]

I haven't been able to watch all of this year's games, but what I've seen of Riley's defense at third this year has been solid.

he’s made about every play extremely routinely. can’t say i’ve noticed his range being tested too much, but everything has looked smooth and easy

Things like that gonna keep the "Braves" name alive
