GDT 3/27: OPENING DAY!!!!

[Enscheff]

Riley is looking like he plans to be in the MVP conversation

 

[bravesfanMatt]

now Steal Olson.

 

[jpx7]

stat cast has it at 85 EV with an xBA of .000 for now at least.

Machados double had an xBA of 0.000. I’m going to place the fault of that entire inning on profar.

The defense is better than Soler, but that’s about it. The Braves said they thought they could improve it, but I’ve yet to see it.

Love the plate discipline, though.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

burning up those pen arms!!

 

[Enscheff]

Poor base running by Olson. Luckily tatis missed 3b by 20’.

I will deal with weaker D if he is good offensively.

I think the issues will start to be apparent when Acuña and Profar are both out there with the range of a lawn ornament. But if Profar posts a .380 OBP and Acuna posts a .900 OPS there won’t be much to complain about.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

did they really just bring in a lefty to face Ozzie?!?

 

[Enscheff]

So the Padres decided to bring in a LHP to turn Albies around. Interesting tactic.

 

[thewupk]

damn that was close

 

[Enscheff]

If someone had told us 10 years ago Albies was going to turn into a power goon with a grade 30 approach we would have mocked them endlessly.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I assume Sale can get through 5 (hopefully) so the Braves pen experience will go 4 innings..

 

[Hulavol]

5k

Should be able to go one more-

Now, let’s get some runs !!

 

[Garmel]

Just missed it.

 

[thewupk]

a few feet from a blowout

 

[jsebe10]

Merrill is such a fckn pre-Madonna...he should have been camped under that ball....clown

 

[zbhargrove]

Still gotta love what we’ve seen from Baldwin today. So patient.

it had an xBA or .810... he made a good play

I would be that mocked guy. Lol. I said he'd hit for power...and his wrists are quick. It is what it is with Ozzie, but I'm taking him as my 2b and I'm OK with it. Ugly be damned....lol

 

[bravesnumberone]

Arcia is dog****. Play Allen.
