GDT 8/25/23: Braves @ Giants - Keeping our Stride

[CyYoung31]

That prospect for Rome Kal Rat looks pretty good.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Why would you throw Joc anything he can hit.

 

[Hulavol]

I’ve seen that dude before …. He played the fat jerk who couldn’t hit curve balls in the Clint Eastwood movie

 

[UNCBlue012]

Incredible scoreless streak just ended. But man, Strider may have officially reentered the Cy Young conversation.

 

[CyYoung31]

LOL

 

[drewdat]

I feel like 1 unassisted is pretty rare without catastrophic injury to the batter

 

[Hudson2]

Strider making a late run at cy

If he gets his ERA in the 3.20 range I think it’s his to lose. He has a 50 k lead on the next guy.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Spencer’s k/9 is almost 2.5 higher than anyone else.

That’s pure insanity.

 

[UNCBlue012]

If he gets his ERA in the 3.20 range I think it’s his to lose. He has a 50 k lead on the next guy.

I agree. And even if most voters don’t go off them, his metrics are better than the rest of the field by a wide margin. If the ERA is close, he needs to get it.

 

[CyYoung31]

Damn.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Acuña is a brutally unlucky hitter

 

[Hudson2]

I thought Acuna got all of that one.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Gabe Kapler. Still the worst manager in the game.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Does Kapler really think this gets into the Braves head. Why else would he review that play.

He’s a complete and utter dumbass.

 

[CyYoung31]

That ****ing Kapler just loved to waste time.

Kendall Graveman unassisted double play on a grounder

The stupid, unathletic version of the 1 unassisted

Logan Webb had one where it was a much closer play and he dove to tag the base

 

[UNCBlue012]

Riley just refuses to hit the damn baseball with any sort of authority. Everything the last few weeks has been weak contact

It’s in his head.

Athleticism in baseball is at an all time high.

Unfortunately so is dumbassery.

Why is that dude running to 3rd?
