GDT 5/2/23: Braves @ Mets - DH Game 2

[drewdat]

Riley did not need to be in the lineup for game 2.

 

[Enscheff]

Acuna got hit on the acromion and was nearly killed. Medics were able to revive him after 5 minutes.

Mets game plan.. foul off 100 pitches and get into that sweet sweet atl pen.

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

Good news is when Riley gets in one of these slumps he comes out hot and it lasts a while. Here’s hoping that happens soon

 

[UNCBlue012]

Riley needs to be playing every day but I’d definitely drop him in the lineup. This is getting out of hand fast.

 

[chop2chip]

Like there’s no reason to be worried about this at all right?

 

[Enscheff]

Generally I agree with you. I have been on this very board picking on Ronald about this. But he got hit right where I got hit in college. For me it missed the meat and hit my bone and broke it. I was done for a while. If it hit the muscle he’ll be fine, if it hit the bone it could be bad. Weird place to get hit.

Fun fact, I was hit by Billy Wagner. He was a starting pitcher at Ferrum College and they were in our conference. Hurt like a mf’er

Acuna just seems to have a knack for odd injuries. Even the knee injury happened on a relatively innocent looking play.

 

[CrazyTrain]

I’m beyond sick of Ronald getting hit.

 

[drewdat]

Acuna will miss some time, just a guess

Certainly odd to get drilled high up after the moonshot he hit in the previous. Odd indeed.

Pretty sure if I'm Morton, Alonso would be catching one in the ribs. They hit our best hitter, we hit theirs.

 

[UNCBlue012]

After a slow start to the season, it’s so nice to see Morton look more like himself. I hope it continues.

**** it. Why not.

No doubt. I hope it is him overreacting, But I can relate to being hit in that location. Just keeping my fingers crossed it hit more muscle than bone. I missed 3 months….. but that was also in the mid 90’s when sports medicine was ****. But I also got hit with a 98 mph fastball

Probably be ejected

The real question was could you still root for Wagner as a Brave?

Yes. He didn’t hit me on purpose. He had no reason to, I stunk. Lol

 

[striker42]

I'm wondering if that pitch hit a nerve. If it did then Acuna's entire arm would feel like it was on fire. Him being on the ground would be totally reasonable.

 

[thewupk]

2 innings....2 double plays

 

[UNCBlue012]

Why in the living hell are we grounding into double plays against this scrub?
