GDT 5/1/17: Braves vs. MUTTS

[thewupk]

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

He's not bad. He's just not a good hitter anymore. He was earlier in his career. He is right now but I don't suspect it will last the whole year. I figure he will settle into the 100-110 OPS+ range.

 

[Garmel]

Hopefully he got suspended or banned.

SAV's too nice to do that. If he wasn't I would have banned a long time ago.

 

[thewupk]

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

That is not good, folks

Don't worry. It's a monday on a school night. Also it's about the community development.

 

[CyYoung31]

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

WTF does Heyward have to do with Markakis?

Braves need to average 37,000 to get to the 3m goal...

Safe to say Kemp can still hit

I, for one, am thrilled to have him. And I don't care what his dWAR says. He's an offensive player, as long as he can handle his position, he's a great guy to have. And I don't care what his dWAR says, he's tolerable in LF, and he works at his craft.

Let the mother ****er rake

 

[Garmel]

Time to DFA Motte.

 

[sturg33]

Don't worry. It's a monday on a school night. Also it's about the community development.

That's true... anyone looking at attendance in year 1 of a new stadium just doesn't get it

It's a Monday night on a school night...not to include a major interstate hub not going to be reopened until Memorial Day.

If Kemp keeps this offensive pace up he will be a very positive and valuable player for us.

If he hits like he did the last 4 years, he won't.

 

[sturg33]

What happened to Motte's velocity? Didn't he throw high 90's with the Cards?

It's 5,000 more than they would get for a weeknight at Turner Field.

You can look it up.

And they'll sell out on the weekends, and that's BW - before winning

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.

Wrigley cause his .631 last year? Just playing... no reason to answer

 

[jsebe10]

Nobody turns that 3-6-3 as good as Freddie.

 

[msstate7]

You mad, bro?

 

[Garmel]

What happened to Motte's velocity? Didn't he throw high 90's with the Cards?

Yeah, he did throw hard. Too many elbow injuries screwed him up.

 

[USMA76]

Need a bloop and a blast.

Agreed. Not worried about attendance. Not yet, anyway.

Tommy Johns.
