GDT 6/11/22: Braves vs Pirates - Finishing the Homestand Wright

I’m setting the over/under date for the first “Contreras needs to be sent down because the league figured him out” or “Contreras was just a fluke flash in the pan” comment on this board at July 9.

I’ll take before.

Damn.

What Willy is doing is unsustainable.

There’s also no reason to doubt he won’t be an elite offensive catcher. He hits rockets, walks, and the strikeout rate is reasonable.

 

[zbhargrove]

You talking to me? Lol...but yeah...I didn't forsee this.

Lol no… I wasn’t talking about anyone specifically and it wasn’t supposed to be negative either

 

[Enscheff]

Let’s congratulate the pirates for hanging on to Reynolds so he could carry the team to a 68 win season.

 

[Hudson2]

Curious what Duvall’s offensive numbers are since moving to RF.

Bad PA for Wright there.

 

[Garmel]

I didn't think that one was going out.

Agreed… I’m talking about his approach/swing… everything looks completely different.

More curious what they are since moving to LF.

I thought they kept the right guy, between him and Langeliers. Looks like Langeliers is going to be good, but Contreras has the chance to be better.

 

[chop2chip]

Reynolds is a nice player.

There’s still time for them to trade him to the Braves.

 

[Enscheff]

Curious what Duvall’s offensive numbers are since moving to RF.

In 32 PAs

.250/.250/.563 plus what he’s done today.

So…a typical Duvall hot stretch that probably has nothing to do with his defensive position…just like Swanson isn’t hitting well due to being the in the 2 spot.

I want to want that to happen, but the Nate McLouth nightmare still has me scared.

Lol, .250/.250.

He’s been bad and batted ball profile was bad.

I was thinking that guy is balling out to say, “please god trade me out of here. I’m good”

Reynolds has to look over at our team, most near his age, with the only real hole in the of and dreaming why can’t I go there.

 

[Enscheff]

Lol, .250/.250.

I mean, yeah. He has some balls leaving the yard…which is the only offensive value he brings.

 

[CyYoung31]

The league has figured Olson out. He was a flash in the pan. A fluke.

 

[msstate7]

Olson is trash

Ah...I know. Kidding. But from day one I've been just as impressed with his defensive play as his offensive play this year. He's come a long way. When I saw him in the minors, I never really questioned his offense.
