He wasn't gonna face carpenter. I'm not saying oayamps was a good option. I'm saying there was no good option

I've been a vocal advocate for awhile now that Eli White is worthy of a roster spot when Kim comes back. But my level of confidence in him being a decent bench piece is dwindling every day

He's had 2 defensive plays to lose games. Dubon is the better back up cf

The missed HBP was huge.

There was also a time early where Olson didn’t challenge a clear ball that changed the whole complexion of the ab. He ended up striking out. Had he reached, the Braves would likely have scored a run that would have been huge.

Kind of let the details slide in this game. You just can’t do that.

I forgot about the HBP replay. What were they seeing, or not seeing, at the replay center?

How’d he do against Framber and Skubal?

Which is a good counter point. Bottom line is he's not good at the plate. Slumps happen, but on occasion, even in a bad one, you'll have a hard hit out. Riley is hitting nothing hard right now. We know the kind of hitter he can be. We've seen it. All you can do is hope he busts out of it sooner rather than later.

How much would it cost to just have Chipper sit in the dugout and say “Hit it right center, meat” every time Riley walks up to the plate?
