He has a -5 DRS this year when he's played the outfield and in bigger recent sample sizes it's just not great.

I'm not sure Pence can really play the outfield anymore. If you're going to go after him, you might as well go after Castellanos, who has more power out of Comerica.

Suero's actually really good. His peripherals are sparkling. We didn't do anything against Rodney though, and that guy is pretty bad.

Yes. Ozzie thought because of his rep he was about to see another dirt ball so he had no intentions on taking a swing there at all. That at bat had walk or strikeout written on it all the way once he was down 0-2.

Newcomb would stay in to face Hoskins in the playoffs. You have your LOOGY's, but he's not viewed as one and you have to have guys that can get out both left and right, which he had been doing fine.

I think its actually the Braves themselves that think that Duvall can't be a part-time player, they think that he has to be an everyday player that is fed tons of at bats, as this is not a token start. DOB said he's going to get the majority of the starts at least through the end of July.

I've been told low ball hitting and weak hits don't exist lmao. (not in this channel, but it another one)

Ozzie's going to be kicking himself when he sees that pitch location. He had a fastball RIGHT DOWN BROAD STREET....pop up instead of a well hit ball. That's NOT the pitch to be taking.

Objective take when I’m not mad: I think it’s fair to be very concerned about Wright, without being absurd or stupid. Granted it might not be good comparisons in this era of the new ball that has been screwing up both prospect (not just ours either if you care to look around for 15 minutes) and...

Allard's been throwing a cutter, apparently. I still think it's probably more likely that he'd have a better shot at growing up in the majors on another team, but he's more than made himself interesting again.

Ozzie was completely out of control in that at bat where he struck out. He did see one pitch to drill, a hanging curve first pitch, but he was way too loose.

That changeup to Albies wasn't a good pitch, but he was probably timed for a fastball instead. But anyway, it's pretty obvious that the Braves hitting philosophy isn't taking tons of pitches, it's swing at the first good strike you see. McCann made it fairly obvious, and Acuna's done it a lot...

Yeah Weigel is up purely to be a long man and will probably be down in a couple games. Last night's uhhhh, extended batting practice by the Nats, that was enabled because Fried went on the IL, and Allard was likely questionable to be able to go Saturday in his place because of a rolled ankle in...

I think this is a response thread to some of the foolishness we've seen recently in the game threads.

I think it's fair to give Ender more time in a timeshare to see if he can get something going, but if he doesn't start going the other way again instead of trying to pull everything, combining it with not having his usual defense... Then man, we might be up the creek without a paddle with one...

And I guess done a bullpen game on Saturday because there's a decent shot that Allard's ankle is worse than we know. We'll see. If he doesn't start on Saturday that'll be telling. There's a good chance that bullpenning would've failed as well, but from the way it looks with whatever it is with...

I was gonna give it a shot with Wright, but that's gonna do it for me. He's Tyler Beede part 2. Trade him before he loses all value.

Can't exactly play that game when you have a guy giving up batting practice and other options (at least so we thought). While Fried has struggled some at times, it wasn't as absolutely trash as Wright looked against the Mets before getting optioned. Maybe next year he'll be the guy that is left...

I think Kyle Wright was another new ball casualty given that his stuff is unorthodox (much better off speed than his fastball). Not going to name the name that talked about it, but there was someone in another channel that was talking about how his stuff had nowhere near the movement that it had...

Wright was announced for Gwinnett and then scratched, so Clouse started tonight. I think there's a real shot that he's starting tomorrow and is the first pushback for the rotation. He struggled to start, but in the last month or so, his pitches are moving a lot more like they did last year. He...
