GDT 4/22/23: Braves vs Astros - Wrighting the ship

[Hulavol]

Riley sucks now too.

 

[mfree80]

Olson and Riley

 

[Hulavol]

Acuna’s gonna steal like 70 bases at this rate.
That’s just unreal

Great player, but I'd prefer be turn singles into doubles and HRs

 

[Deester11]

I haven't gotten to see a ton of games this year but I'm looking at the FG numbers. Is Ozzie a poor defender now without the shift?

Not even close to bad. Where is this coming from?

 

[The Tariff King]

Great player, but I'd prefer be turn singles into doubles and HRs

especially when the two big bats behind him are two black holes merging.

 

[thewupk]

So many infield hitd

 

[CyYoung31]

My god.

 

[Hulavol]

There you go Vaughn!!

 

[Hulavol]

Man, old Kyle from a coupla’ years ago would have flat imploded after some of that bad luck and we’d be down six runs and counting

 

[msstate7]

Come on bats... 9 straight scoreless innings and 18 of last 19 scoreless

I honestly wish he wouldn't. His success rate isn't elite or anything and a fair number of his steals are in low leverage situations. I'd rather try to keep him healthy.

I actually agree with you - and since Olson and Riley have no chance of advancing him, really no reason to bother.
Just get your 40 and that’s it.

Grissom is awful

 

[CyYoung31]

Holy ****ing ****, man.

 

[msstate7]

Grissom is awful

And his bat isn't very good. I think the FO was right about him

 

[CyYoung31]

Grissom is awful

The worst I’ve ever seen. His throw on that ground ball deep into the hole was a joke.

 

[Hulavol]

The good news is Kyle is inducing piles of ground balls at least ….

 

[Slippyjms]

Fangraphs has his defense rated as the worst on the team at -2.6. Typically Ozzie's defense is excellent and is part of what consistently makes him a 3 fWAR lock.

This team can’t hit or catch a baseball. Are they afraid of it or something. Olson needs to hit behind Nozuna as a statement. His strikeouts are getting old.
