GDT 6/13: Strider, and a Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall

[striker42]

It's about time we got a little BABIP luck after what the Tigers have been doing stringing singles together this series.

I say this and Acuna promptly destroys a ball for an out.

 

[Heyward]

I mean Arcia has been crazy lucky but he’s also been so much fun and still really good

His defense has been most impressive. He doesnt have a ton of range, but solid arm and glove. He's arguably a top 5 most valuable player on the team given the replacements or lack of behind him.

 

[Hulavol]

May I remind y’all that Arcia is an all star …

 

[Super]

Matt Vierling is a guy I’ve liked since his time in Philly. Think a team that actually knows how to develop hitters will eventually get him and turn him into a very useful piece. Can play all over the field too.

 

[Heyward]

Might need to use AJSS today, they're starting to tee off Dodd.

The Braves signed free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar to a minor league contract, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com.

This. When you control for luck, his offense is in line with career norms. But the defense hasn't been luck. It's been a nice surprise.

Our pitchers not taking care of business against easy breezy outs is brutal. Just stop playing around

 

[Heyward]

Welp...

 

[UNCBlue012]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that’s why you have to actually come ready to play

 

[Deester11]

It would be perfectly fine to not see Dodd again.

 

[Hudson2]

We are gonna need SP and BP help at the deadline no doubt.

 

[Heyward]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that’s why you have to actually come ready to play

We have 5 runs after 4 innings, they came ready boss. Not their fault Dodd is garbage.

 

[thewupk]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that’s why you have to actually come ready to play

? Dodd just blows man.

 

[striker42]

What has gotten into the Tigers offense? They've not played near this level all year. Trash players are crushing the ball.

 

[CyYoung31]

Dodd is going to throw 6 IP of 4 hit shutout ball.

Never mind. I thought the Tigers’ kryptonite would be a bad pitcher. I guess Dodd is just that terrible.

 

[Heyward]

I think BP more than SP. But SP depends if Fried is back. Not expecting to see Wright again.

 

[msstate7]

? Dodd just blows man.

Apparently our whole staff sucks

 

[Hudson2]

Nice play Arcia!

 

[striker42]

I will say Rogers home run was a glorified pop up.
