GDT 5/23/21: Pirates vs Braves - Sunday Funday

[Enscheff]

Aaaaand now time for our regularly scheduled dose of “why does baseball suck now?”

Mute.

If Riley is a legit 850ish OPS hitter, feels like it completely changes the dynamic of this offense. Assuming Ozuna is even just what he's been historically (and certainly not last year - but also not what he's been this year), that gives us 6 legit impact bats (position independent), including catcher. Then you add Dansby who at the very least is a good hitting shortstop and all of a sudden this feels like a legit 7 deep line-up and prey for center field...

Where is Glavine when you need him? 3 bunts within the first 2 innings!! How exciting.

Acuna is essentially hitting homers, drawing a few walks and getting out a ton. He’ll be fine but it’ll be nice to see him stabilize.

Wtf is this?

 

[msstate7]

Heredia's ops is .966. How long can he keep this up?

I missed this exchange as I was having lunch. Chip is seriously a cancer.

 

[CyYoung31]

If that was Acuña, he would still be on the ground rolling like he was trying to put out a fire.

 

[CyYoung31]

Holy ****.

 

[thethe]

Ummm....

 

[TURBO]

Wow

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

It is so good seeing Riley hit like this

Quoting myself

 

[msstate7]

So, we letting FF walk and playing Riley at 1b?

Yeah, I'm playing

 

[msstate7]

Riley is now .029 behind Acuna in ops

 

[thethe]

Could Riley be a 4 WAR player?

Could Riley be a 4 WAR player?

He's on pace to be.

 

[jpx7]

So, Riley, huh?

 

[Garmel]

It's Riley's world and we're all just living in it.

 

[thewupk]

He's on pace to be.

Will be 5+ after today

Well, looks like Chipper's faith in Riley was well founded.
