GDT 6/13

[Enscheff]

Braves already down 2-0.

And the man in charge of in game tactics for a MLB team has Verdugo batting #2 while Murphy bats #7. Apparently it’s sound strategy to hit a guy who has a .600 OPS #2 after temporarily losing his platoon job, while the guy with a .780 OPS bats 5 spots lower.

 

[msstate7]

I hate Austin Riley. Please get rid of him

 

[Enscheff]

Oh, he also has Ozuna’s .395 OBP in the 5 hole.

 

[msstate7]

Marquez had a 5.86 k9 entering this game and he Ks what supposed to be 2 of our best hitters. This team is trash

 

[DaneHill]

Boy, talk about scrapheaping. Coming up for the Rockies: Moniak, Arcia and Hiura. Yick.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Pretty pathetic that Verdugo put up a better appearance than the other three

 

[bravesfanMatt]

tonight would have been a good chance to get Ozuna two days off in a row to rehab the hip more.

Just IL him. He's a single hitter with the bad hip. Get Murphy and Baldwin in there

 

[msstate7]

I don't want AA to blow up this team. We need Timothy Mcveigh

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Barves are here

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Gaudin and Nitkowski are too obsessed with Wiley Ballard

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Clown show Worst team in the bigs right here.

 

[Garmel]

Verdugo's escapade out there is why White should be playing.

 

[DaneHill]

Boy, talk about scrapheaping. Coming up for the Rockies: Moniak, Arcia and Hiura. Yick.

 

[CyYoung31]

Elder blowing up the start after throwing a masterpiece was a predictable as the Braves offense failing to get a big hit with RISP.

I put 10 dollars on Elder giving up over 5 runs before the game.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Anyone who seriously uses the term ‘second leadoff hitter’ for the 9 hole hitter should be shot instantly

 

[DaneHill]

Nicely done. Got out of that with no runs.

 

[CyYoung31]

Good job. Now, fix your command before you lose to the Rockies.

 

[msstate7]

Stop striking out against crappy pitchers! F!

 

[bravesnumberone]

This is why I just can’t bring myself to be worked up about the batting order, the idiocy on its face of Verdugo being second notwithstanding
