GDT 4/23 Max and the Sunday Slump Busters!!!

[mfree80]

I have no complaints about what Sam has been so far.

Hope he can keep it going.

 

[mfree80]

Max doing too much nibbling.

I agree about Grissom. Shewmake needs to be brought up immediately to fill in for Arcia. If he's still able to manage the position on a part time basis Adrianza could manage the weak side of a SS platoon until Arcia returns. I'm good with Murphy getting the day off although I might consider double dipping him at DH instead. As for Pillar vs Ozuna we're 100% sure Ozuna can't run or play defense. On the other hand Pillar is playing great defense in LF. Neither is hitting. To accommodate Ozuna we'd have to put Rosario in LF and Ozuna at DH. I'm not sure that makes us better.

Rosario over Pillar in LF isn’t going to make much of a difference.

If Ozuna isn’t going to get ABs, there is zero reason for him to be on the team.

Pretty savvy by Fried.

We can’t win with a 2 hole hitter striking out 40% of the time.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

50%

Can't blame Oleson for that K. That was a hell of a pitch.

 

[msstate7]

9 outs. 7 by K for the braves

Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s getting absurd.

 

[striker42]

I would blame the offensive futility today on it being a day game but the offense has been on break for a couple games now.

 

[msstate7]

Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s getting absurd.

Just 37.4% k rate

Olson will be fine. He’s a good player. But I think we’re really going to be regretting that extension well before the end of it.

Just 37.4% k rate

That can’t be sustainable, right?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

His Z swing % is scary. Swinging less at strikes but missing them way more.

 

[msstate7]

That can’t be sustainable, right?

Nah, he'll snap out of it. I'm not sure we ever see the monster he was in 2021 again though. We thought we were getting a superstar, but we just got a solid player

 

[msstate7]

10 total outs. 8 by K.

Every team usually does. Freeman, Machado, Ohtani, Judge, Turner, Soto it don’t matter who but they pay for those prime years.

Unwatchable.

Issue is, those guys were/are FAs. There was zero reason to extend Olson when we did.
