GDT 8/6/22 Game 2: Braves @ Mutts - Interesting Choices

[CyYoung31]

Swanson has put one on for the tape tonight.

 

[msstate7]

Swanson have a night - 2 errors and 2 k

 

[USMA76]

Not going to put it all on Dansby but he's been the poster child for our woes in this series.

looks like me in The Show

You don't have to worry about Olson coming through

Mets making plays that the Braves aren’t. Difference in the game, and ****ty replay official

 

[Hudson2]

That’s what scares me about signing Dansby. I could see him reverting back to pre 22 Dansby and being an albatross.

 

[CyYoung31]

And 4-8 after deGrom dominates them tomorrow. Day game Braves + deGrom = lol

Except that the Braves will be looking at three losses in a row, which they haven’t done all year.

The Mets also lost deGrom’s first start.

 

[bravesnumberone]

The Mets’ 7-9 guys have come up big time and time again for them, and our 2-4 has been pretty much useless.

Also, Olson has been pretty good this year but to act like he hasn't disappointed is a stretch

It's definitely been a downgrade and during a year where we are trying to win the world series, having this.much of a downgrade is a bummer

His career wRC is 130. His season WRC coming into this game was 129. He’s been exactly as advertised (with a few more doubles and less homeruns but I blame this partly on the dead ball).

It’s not his fault that he’s replacing a hall of farmer who left in the middle of his prime. If that’s the standard he’s always going to be held to, then he’s never going to meet expectations. Otherwise, he’s probably been the most consistent hitter on the team (sans Riley).

I do think his defense has been below average which is disappointing given his reputation.

In about 20 mins, the braves will be closer to the Phillies than the Mets. Braves are now 4-8 vs Phillies and Mets in last 4 series.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Except that the Braves will be looking at three losses in a row, which they haven’t don’t all year.

It had to happen sometime I guess.

That’s what scares me about signing Dansby. I could see him reverting back to pre 22 Dansby and being an albatross.

I hope we don’t. If he wants 20+ I say we splash on Correa or Turner…I would love for Swanson to get greedy and leave.

Dansby is a great defender, tonight not withstanding, but he’s not a great hitter. Somebody is going to seriously overpay him I’m sure, hope it’s not the Braves. 6/100, sure. 7/150. No thanks.

 

[CyYoung31]

You act like the Mets are invincible in deGrom’s starts.

 

[bravesnumberone]

So the Braves acted like it didn’t matter at all when they let the Mets come into their back yard and waltz away with 2 of 3. Wonder what they’ll say when they leave town tomorrow night 6.5 back.

 

[jsebe10]

You act like the Mets are invincible in deGrom’s starts.

No. But we are and will be.

 

[bravesnumberone]

You act like the Mets are invincible in deGrom’s starts.

Have you taken the time to A.) watch a daytime Braves game? And B.) watch the Braves try to hit deGrom?

 

[CyYoung31]

No. But we are and will be.

The Braves are invincible and will be invincible?

If we had signed Rizzo, we'd be a better team right now. I never woulda guessed it, but it's true. We picked the worse of the group this year, and we extended him after trading 2 (at the time) great prospects.
