GDT 4/16/2023: Braves @ Royals - Playing our Tromp Card

[Enscheff]

Look at what happens when a 70 grade hit tool attacks a good pitch to hit!!

The tiny king has returned

Was Ozzie loafing? It seems like he should be on third.

Right fielder backed up the play pretty well, double seemed normal

 

[CrazyTrain]

Ozzie is mashing right now

 

[chop2chip]

I’m very skeptical of Grissom long term but he really might just be Jeff McNeil lite

Seemed that way to me too. Turns out not to matter thanks to Grissom.

 

[msstate7]

Anyone got current injury report? When should we get some guys back?

 

[Metaphysicist]

Vaughn Grissom is Derek Jeter confirmed .

 

[Enscheff]

Grissom is the king of being beaten by fastballs and grounding them the other way for hits!

Non ironically it might be a skill!

 

[striker42]

Tromp with a yuge K.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Hurry back, Travis.

Maybe he is Tony Gwynn even, we got us a Hall of Famer, either way.

 

[USMA76]

With Witt's speed, I'd really prefer he not be running the bases.

[WaitingFor2017]

Just another ho-hum sweep -- this time with Bryce Elder, Eli White, Kevin Pillar, Eddie Rosario, Chadwick Tromp, Marcell Ozuna, and Sam Hilliard getting solid PT.

Twit tried to turn this one into a loss.

It was a 83 mph breaking pitch on the outer half. Seems like he intended to hit it the other way?

You can argue whether the approach is the best one, but it’s clearly by design. He stays very closed off and it looks a like how Jeter hit. No he’s not going to be a HOFer.
