GDT 5/1/17: Braves vs. MUTTS

[CyYoung31]

JHey career .761 ops

So? Heyward is also a much better defender and base runner.

 

[USMA76]

I really hope we change some of the dimensions in this park. This is getting ridiculous.

+1

I don't like this park. We're building with pitching and we play at coors field

It's supposed to be a good thing. Problem is our dumb RH hitters don't take advantage of it.

I love the park, hate the managing considering it.

 

[USMA76]

When the Mets opened CitiField a few years ago, they couldn't hit a ball out of the place so they moved the fences in and lowered the walls. Early returns say we have the opposite problem. I can't imagine how bad it's going to be when the weather heats up.

Safe to say Kemp can still hit

All that was mentioned was ops. So if Markakis' career .780 is bad for a rf then jhey's .760 is even worse, no?

 

[jsebe10]

I mean what the fck kind of bottom half inning was that!? What the fck was that!?

1. thewupk didn't say he was bad

2. Markakis has nothing to do with Heyward... nobody brought him up

 

[sturg33]

thanks for the reminder

 

[msstate7]

Wish we had back julio and inciarte on for ff. That was our shot and we blew it. Oh well... 2 losses in a row and I'm sure enscheff will be back shortly

Good isn't the adjective he'd use.

The implication is it's just the opposite

 

[Garmel]

Are you trying to depress us?

 

[sturg33]

I'm not speaking for him... but I'd gladly describe him as slightly above average.

That's not good. That's not bad.

 

[thewupk]

Ops around .820 this year and a career ops around .780. That sucks?

No it doesn't. He has been good this year which has been all of one month. The previous 4 years he has had a 726 OPS with a 100 OPS+. Average is the word I would use to describe that. His 784 carer OPS and 111 OPS+ I would consider above average.

 

[Garmel]

Why are we screwing with a reliever that can only get to 90 on the radar?

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Are you trying to depress us?

Hopefully he got suspended or banned.

 

[msstate7]

No it doesn't. He has been good this year which has been all of one month. The previous 4 years he has had a 726 OPS with a 100 OPS+. Average is the word I would use to describe that. His 784 carer OPS and 111 OPS+ I would consider above average.

Fair enough... those you were implying he was bad

Nobody mentioned Nick being a bad hitter for his career. Also implying Heyward's 760 career OPS is worse than Markakis' career 780 OPS shows a lack of understanding on park effects and offensive era's.

So after being on the road for 10 days... the Braves draw 21,000 tonight.

That is not good, folks
