GDT 6/12/19: Let’s make it 6 in a row

If Riley can cut down on swing and misses in the zone, Bob Horner lite, because Horner did not miss them but the DL always got him. He could not run from it. Also there is little Murphy in him a well when hitting pitches out of the zone to right field. Murphy's wall at Fulton Cty Stadium. Lot of dents from his home runs.

Now Donaldson, if he does not pick it up, I would deal him at the break. Camargo would probably give us similar numbers but not strike out as much and a better average.

I know Dr. Scheff is going to kill my posts but I don't he was old enough for me to tell you about our two hitters we watch growing up.

As much as I love him you wouldn’t deal Donaldson to play Camargo everyday. The thought process would have to be Riley to 3rd Acuna to LF and Ender back in the everyday lineup.

While true I feel that's an out in most parks? Not sure how the distance there compares to other places. Either way it was a nice game to bust out of his slump. He definitely has the quality of contact thing going.

Statcast says 409 feet which would be a homer in all but 7 parks. Interestingly Riley’s fly out was 411 feet and hit a bit harder yet just went a little more to the right of dead center resulting in an out.

I was referring to the the triple. Yeah his flyout to dead center would be a homer in most scenarios. He crushed that.

Honestly it shouldn't have been much of a surprise to us that Joyce is hitting. He sucked last year but has been a consistently above average hitter in his career. Nice pickup by AA.

Duvall I'm still a believer in. I bought the excuse his diabetes is what wrecked his season last year after starting out well. I hope he gets a chance at some point as if he's hitting he's a very good 4th OF with his defense.

i was pretty happy with the Joyce pickup and surprised he was just dumped like nothing. always been a solid hitter.

Freddie is such a protector. Digs up bad throws from the infielders. Protects the hitter in front of him.

He's clearly protecting McCann from the dogpile here. Probably knew he's gonna start today. Didn't want him to injure himself.
 
I love these guys! This has been one crazy series. The Pirates just chip away at them, rather relentlessly hitting groundballs through holes, and the Braves answer by hitting bombs.

I can't imagine what's in store for today. Probably a 3-1 snoozer.
