GDT 5/15/23: Braves @ Rangers

[UNCBlue012]

Acuna, Olson, Albies, Riley, Murphy, Ozuna, Pillar, Harris, Arcia

 

[Slippyjms]

So I like Snit finally making the move to have Ozzie in the 3 hole behind Olson. I don't like Murphy being moved out of the cleanup role.

I'd really like to see

Acuña
Harris ll
Albies
Murphy
Olson
Riley
Ozuna/TDA
Rosario/Pillar
Arcia

If you try to match up a lefty vs Harris you pay the RH Ozzie penalty. Gives Olson some coverage too. If Ozzie's going to switch hit it makes sense to utilize it to its maximum effect.

It's still early but Harris has a great walk rate and obp delta along with a solid strike out rate. As his babip normalizes he'll look even better at 2

Why does Murphy have to be after Riley?
There must be a reason, because it seems like a no-brainer to us.

 

[UNCBlue012]

It’s hard making assumptions this early but the Mets may actually be a bad baseball team.

Olson's hot streak is long gone

 

[msstate7]

Hard to score when Olson and Riley hit in an inning.

Robbie Grossman is going to be featured in one of those “Random Braves” threads in the future.

come on, man. We get it. You are not a Matt Olson fan. You ****ing talking about it every night. Just lay off it. He’s playing terribly but he’s somehow the least of our concerns most nights

Folks, I have a man crush on Pillar

 

[thewupk]

Pillar has been a good pickup

 

[UNCBlue012]

I enjoy runs

 

[CyYoung31]

If only Pillar could still play CF vs lefties.

 

[thewupk]

Ronnie is good

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Good lord Acuña crushed that

 

[thewupk]

I think he will get 40 40 if he stays healthy

 

[thewupk]

Good lord Acuña crushed that

He doesn't hit cheapies

 

[UNCBlue012]
