GDT 9/7/23: Braves vs Cardinals - Fried leads the salvage squad

[UNCBlue012]

I’ll be at the game Saturday and I’m trying to decide whose jersey I want to buy. Normally, I’d go Fried but I doubt he’s here for more than his contract. What do ya’ll think? I have Acuña already.

I bet if you go look at the rack of jerseys that one will speak to you… maybe a MH2 jersey … seeing he’s gonna be here a long time and win an MVP or two ….

 

[Hulavol]

Solo homers continue !

 

[thewupk]

6 more to go

Tip of the cap to Adam Wainwright. Oh, that trade. Ugh

 

[AJonesATL]

Man that was big. If Acuna had another one at the track, was gonna be so ticked. Three wall scrapers (albeit to deepest parts of park) and two bombs to show for it. I'll take it.

Acuna is silly good. His fly ball / homer rate seems to be going way up. Is he hot, or is he so good that he has modified his approach pushing for 40 bombs and doing it to perfection?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I truly don’t see how Ronnie doesn’t grab MVP if he goes 40-60 or 40-70

 

[Runnin]

Harris and Acuna's HRs were on pitches most batters can't put wood on.

He will. For the same reasons Miggy won over Trout when he had the triple crown.

The short-sightedness and stupidity of that transaction are impossible to quantify.

I think he’s actually trying to hit homers now - his average may suffer … or his OPS is gonna start living at 1.2 for the next several years …. With a player like this … who knows what he’s capable of

Getting 30-60 while hitting .330 should secure it. If he goes 40-70 it won’t matter what anybody else does.

That deal….. and to a lesser extent the Texiera deal… two things AA would not do for 1,000 Alex

I have a few Strider jerseys that are pretty cool. They have a bigger selection at the stadium than you’ll find online.

He did those things in Toronto

I think about it way more than I should. Man, what a legend he would have been in Atlanta.

that’s what I’m excited about! I think Harris or Olson are my top contenders, but I have a feeling Strider does work over the next five years

CF for the Cards: Tommy Edman, Jim Edmonds
