GDT 6/11/22: Braves vs Pirates - Finishing the Homestand Wright

Goodness Michael Harris is fun to watch. He’s so situationally aware. I also knew he was fast… but he’s like ridiculously fast. I also knew he was a pretty good defender but he’s a great defender. It’s always fun when tools are better than you expect.

How many international players have the new guard brought in after being punished by the actions of the old guard?

Odd right? It doesn’t fit your moronic narrative so you can’t even wrap your tiny brain around it.

I have no bad words to say about AA and the organization. You won't find me criticizing him much at all.
 
Is Harris doing what Swanson and Riley did to start their careers and gonna hit a wall soon? Man I hope not bc he's a Godsend at his current level

Very easy to see Harris being a 3-4 win player with how good of a defender he is.

You said the other day that the old guard drafted well and this one hasn't drafted anyone yet, so aren't y'all sorta in agreement on this?

We will see how he keeps it up offensively. The league will get a book on him and he will struggle. It will all depend how he adjusts and adapts.

One thing I’ve realized lately, which probably should have been obvious from the start, is that the best type of baseball analytically isn’t the most entertaining. It’s super boring watching guys walk and strike out and hit 2-3 bombs a game and go station to station on the bases to avoid running into outs.

So that’s the dilemma…the best way to win isn’t the most exciting way to play, even though winning is the ultimate goal.

Well, I was being a bit over dramatic about how poorly AA has drafted, as pointed out by jpx.

I agree that there isn’t much to complain about with AA. Sure, I’m very vocally against moves like the Will Smith and Rosario deals, and I think they haven’t drafted all that well, but overall AA is a very good GM and I have zero doubt the Braves are much better off with him instead of the Coppy/Hart/JD trio.

I don't think anyone can argue with that. AA has been great
