GDT: Braves @ Mets 5/1 Game 1 of Doubleheader

Nice inning from Strider

 

[bravesfanMatt]

another change to Lindor.. Much better inning.

Strider needs to continue to throw his slider and change early in the count.

His wipeout pitch is his fastball well located. He will get into a groove if he sees his slider/change getting called strikes early.

Best player in baseball right now

I agree in spirit but in reality Ohtani will always be the best player in baseball. Everyone else is playing for second best.

I’m not sure it’s close.

Riley has low key sucked since his contract extention.

Snap out of it kid!

Acuna has a higher WAR

Acuna has a higher WAR

I see the same but you can't compare pure baseball ability with the two. Acuna is the second best player in baseball by a mile but in terms of who is the best at playing the game of baseball its OHtani by far.

 

[Super]

Yeah, at what point does Riley’s regression become concerning? Is it there already?

 

[jsebe10]

Jesus fckn Jones are the bats about to lay it down for the game now

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Riley is just getting himself out at this point. pulling everything away

 

[jsebe10]

Acuna has a higher WAR

It hasn’t been low key at all. He’s been terrible and he knows it. He’s pressing.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Jesus fckn Jones are the bats about to lay it down for the game now

That is a dumb statement. you know we don't score after the 3rd inning.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

That change has been his best pitch today.

 

[jsebe10]

Man McNeil is such a douche.

 

[thethe]

Somebody finally got the message to Strider. First three batters of the fifth he started with a non-fastball.

Thats the secret. Should be 50/50 Fastball/Non-Fastball to start hitters off. His fastball is so good he just loves to tthrow it but then the hitters can see it more times in an AB.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

hmm... let him go out for one hitter??

 

[jsebe10]

Sit your fat ass down Bagelbach

 

[thethe]

Gutsy performance by Strider.

Needed to give us five today after his rough start.
