GDT 6/12/19: The Second Half Begins

[The Tariff King]

Forgot about Wes Helms. Good call.

People think Riley hits mammoth homers, they never saw Peak Wes Helms.

 

[Enscheff]

I hope you are wrong and I think deep down you hope so too.

I’m commenting on what Riley currently is, and what type of production that likely will result.

He’s young and can improve, and I’ve detailed exactly what he needs to improve. I certainly hope he improves in those areas, just like all Braves fans do.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Damn, DK.

 

[thewupk]

great analysis from our broadcast crew. they wish hitters hit the ball harder off DK to make it easier on the infielders

Is it a Paul Byrd booth day?

I actually really like Paul as the roaming reporter. But he’s a really rough color commentator.

Forgot about Wes Helms. Good call.

I was going to say Ken Oberkfell

 

[chop2chip]

Tatis didn’t catch that but that was crazy impressive he made it that close. Freak.

I find it too hard to hate on Byrd because I like him so much in his normal role. I’ll probably kindly ignore any mental errors he makes in the booth.

Acuna 0-4 with 4ks since the Derby.

It’s really early, but I think I would take him over every player in baseball to start a team (not named Trout).

419 BABIP and below average defender at SS so far. there are better players.

[thewupk]

419 BABIP and below average defender at SS so far. there are better players.

He has the tools to be plus plus at SS, elite speed, 40 HR power potential, and still only 20.

You’re probably right that I’m off base here. I’m just a sucker for huge athletic SS that can hit.

 

[CyYoung31]

Dansby’s GF mentioned his sleeping habits.

I hope this doesn’t mean that Dansby has had pre-marital sex.
