GDT 5/4/21: Braves @ Gnats - May the Fourth be with us

[zbhargrove]

Well maybe he gets it turned around. We've had 1 starter so far this season that hasn't been a disappointment

Anderson has had a couple blips but he’s been pretty good overall

Edit: my bad... didn’t see you acknowledge Ian being solid a couple posts later

 

[zbhargrove]

Fckn Ozuna man..The thought or conversation has had to be had about dropping him down in the lineup.

You say this during a game where he tattoos every pitch he hits for bad luck?

 

[zbhargrove]

Is the ball changing actually impacting things this drastically?

It has to be... offense is down significantly across all of MLB compared to over past few years

 

[jpx7]

Relievers be like that.

Exactly they do be so.

Which is exactly why (smart) teams shouldn't spend money on them.

Could be...gotta help those pre-Madonna pitchers man ya know? As if they don’t have every bit of fckn leverage in the world on the mound already.

And bone-apple-tea to you, too.

I have to wonder if Ynoa has any kind of track record as a hitter in Dominican play. In the minors he has all of 3 AB's and 3 K's. I mean, this doesn't come out of nowhere. Or can it?

 

[Julio3000]

If Chip was on his game (and by “his game” I mean a big fat rail of pre-Madonna) he might have called that an “Ynoa-doubter.”

Have you ever heard of a team “going zone” in the NBA?

Nope. It’s called “illegal defense”.

um, yes. it’s happened a good bit recently. specifically the Heat played it against the Sixers last year multiple times.

it’s definitely not illegal lol. some teams switch to it a good bit.

edit: i see we’ve already taken care of this.

Outstanding, Julion

Is this the thread to point out that Ynoa has 0.4 fWAR as a position player while Freeman is at 0.2.

As we all expected. Ynoa's combined 1 WAR puts him #2 overall to only Acuna on the team

Like Mike Soroka, I missed most of 2020 but have been workshopping material at the alternate site in anticipation of my 2021 return.

A little break, some PEDs and some pine tar, and I expect you'll come back better than ever. Like Justin Verlander.
