GDT 10/7, NLDS Game Two, Braves-Marlins (Braves up 1-0 in the series)

[Runnin]

Anybody miss Chip and Jeff?

 

[Dalyn]

That was perhaps the least stressful 2-0 victory I've watched in recent memory.

 

[Dalyn]

Freddie truly has no luck this postseason. He's hit the ball fairly well.

He really hasn't.

 

[Dalyn]

I'm guessing Matzek is showing now why he went #11 overall back in 09.

Reminds me of Venters in some ways. Hope it ends better.

Anybody miss Chip and Jeff?

I miss Jeff. He does a really good job.

Who I really miss is Pete.

Who I really miss is Pete.

I miss Don Sutton

 

[striker42]

I miss Don Sutton

Same. Pete and Don was great listening.

 

[CyYoung31]

He really hasn't.

In this series, out of 8 ABs, Freeman has had exit velocities of 110, 107, 101, 96, and 90 with zero hits to show for it.

I think AA will continually remind Snit of Fredys failures in this regard. Plus, I think Snit has now become underrated for how he uses his pen or he just learned real fast from AA.

Hey, two hours before the game and there was no thread. I stepped up when no one else would. I'm practically an Avenger, dammit.

Clearly Vision. While not an Avenger, I am clearly Dr. Strange.

Apparently they were fine with O'Day vs Joyce (but SSS):

The numbers suggested that he’d do just that. Left-handed hitters went 1-for-10 against O’Day this year, and they’ve slashed a paltry .228/.299/.411 against him over his 13 seasons. Any fretting by strategic second-guessers was wholly unnecessary.

So is Anderson the front runner for ROY in 2021?

So is Anderson the front runner for ROY in 2021?

With service time calculator does he qualify as a rookie?

 

[Tapate50]

Did AA hold Anderson back knowing teams wouldn't get a good read on him until the playoffs?

 

[Buzzworm]

Did AA hold Anderson back knowing teams wouldn't get a good read on him until the playoffs?

That’s something I’ve thought about with other rookies.
Seems when they come up especially young hitters they have early success since teams don’t have a book on them then have to Make adjustments when teams figure out the weak spots.
I’ve always wondered if you could bring them up this time of the year.
Think about when Frenchy first came up.
He was a hitting fool until teams figured him out.
Think if we hadn’t if brought him up till a week or two before the playoffs.
Same thing with Ozzie/Acuna etc

rookie status wasn't prorated like service time. So it's the basic 50 innings and 45 days on the active roster limit. So Ian is good to go.

Did Bohm surpass that? He might be a contender if eligible. Sixto would obviously be another.

So, he could theoretically win ROY two straight years.

 

[thewupk]

So, he could theoretically win ROY two straight years.

They put in a rule saying that if you win this year you would be ineligible next season for the award even if you were technically still a rookie

 

[thewupk]

Did Bohm surpass that? He might be a contender if eligible. Sixto would obviously be another.

Bohm passed the 130 AB mark so he's not eligible.

Sixto is still eligible.
