GDT 4/6/26: Braves @ Angels - Visiting Soler

[msstate7]

Did not have 1st pitch home run on my bingo card.

Well sale is the mound and Acuna has no power, so it was a long shot

 

[Hulavol]

And damn

 

[Enscheff]

No matter how bad Riley gets, the good news is the Braves will pay him $21M per year for another 6 years after this as he continues to decline.

Everyone who was stoked about that extension will be glad to know he would be gone via FA this year had the extension not happened.

Hindsight or nah?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Also feels like the last 3 games, as soon as we get a lead, the pitchers give it up immediately.

 

[CyYoung31]

Sale just pumping 98 on the corner at 37 years old. Nothing to see here.

 

[msstate7]

Fire AA for extending Riley and Harris

 

[CyYoung31]

Harris’ EVs don’t mean much when he has no plate discipline or pitch recognition.

 

[Enscheff]

Hindsight or nah?

Well let’s see. Here’s what I said in the extension thread while everyone was busy furiously masturbating to all the extensions that locked this core in for the rest of the decade.

Interesting timing.

It has me excitedly nervous. The Braves have his entire prime, and only a small portion of his probable decline. Potentially an excellent deal, assuming Riley isn't Dan Uggla.

It's only exciting if they don't decline. Locking up a core to huge money and then having them lose productivity is exactly how contention windows slam shut.

I’ve always had a fear Riley was the next Uggla, but no real data to back that up. Hopefully he’s not and will age gracefully.

Anyone pimping that extension probably shouldn’t be criticizing it now.

 

[CyYoung31]

This offense sucks?

 

[msstate7]

This offense sucks?

Absolutely they suck. There isn't a porn actress alive that can outsuck Acuna, Riley, and Harris.

Fans will always be excited about locking up young talents, but the fact these deals are starting to blow up production wise after tying the team's hands financially is reason enough to move on from who made them happen.

 

[CyYoung31]

We’ll take Trout’s entire contract if they give us Zach Neto.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gonna be one of those nights with the ump

 

[msstate7]

Quit trying to pull everything you dolt! The only time you're any good is when you will hit it to right

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Gottdamn

Shit. I wish Riley was decline phase Dan Uggla right now.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Shit. I wish Riley was decline phase Dan Uggla right now.

33-game hitting streak incoming

 

[msstate7]

Game over in 5-4-3-2-1

 

[CyYoung31]

It’s over.
