GDT 6/14/25: Braves vs Rockies - Get Strider a Win

[Enscheff]

Thinking about Acuna’s career, Covid plus 2 knee injuries have cost him about 2.5 full seasons of PAs. A full healthy season for Acuna is 150 hits and 40 HRs, meaning his career numbers are currently short by 375 hits and 100 HRs. He was a shell of his former self coming back from the first injury, so those numbers could be even higher.

Whatever he ends up doing it will be even more impressive when considering what unlucky circumstances dealt him.

Ozuna ops dropping like a rock. Down to .816

That's why I hope they let Ozuna walk in the offseason and let Acuna spend a few days a week there.

98 outside and called a strike. Ump hates the roxs.

 

[DaneHill]

11 strike outs in 5 innings. Is that good? Sounds kinda good.

 

[Hudson2]

11 k's through 5 wow

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Anyone know how many Ks he has and how many innings strider has gone today?

 

[Hulavol]

I know it’s the craptastic Rockies, but 11K through 5 is impressive.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Almost forgot just how amazing Acuna is.

Also, what do you think snit's Dinosaur farts smell like?

Do you think he'll end up healthyish enough in the aggregate that we won't be thinking of him retroactively in the same vein as griffey or Eric Davis?

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Too bad it took a second major injury to get him to realize that he should just choose to be the best hitter in baseball (not named Aaron Judge)

Maybe the age difference answers this already, but, who would you take between them right now, given the knee surgeries for ronald?

 

[msstate7]

Pull em

 

[chop2chip]

Velocity drop and loss command. Might be time to take him out gramps

 

[Hudson2]

13 k's through 6. I think Strider will be ok

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

That last slider was dang nasty

 

[bravesnumberone]

More of this please Strider

 

[msstate7]

What a start. Hopefully he does this to Mets next

 

[bravesnumberone]

What a start. Hopefully he does this to Mets next

He won’t pitch against them unless we skip Elder

 

[zbhargrove]

Hopefully the results aren’t just because it’s the Rockies… but promising strides for Spencer… see what I did there?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Props to Baldwin for running hard the entire way. Plenty of our guys would just coast after hitting that.
