GDT: 6/23 Orioles @ Braves

[CyYoung31]

Swanson has been stellar on D and is worth running out there for that alone right now, but, damn...April seems like a long time ago.

Maybe he’s like Justin Upton. We’ll just have to wait for August.

I do still think Atlanta is one year away from being where they need to be. They need a few bullpen changes, another big bat and some seasoning age-wise. They’re close.

 

[Hudson2]

I’m in the camp of new manager and pitching coach.

3 losses in a row... we still 11 over .500. Easy to get caught up in a bad little stretch, but we pretty dang good

Good call. None of us would have predicted even this. Still a young team and best is yet to come. Let's enjoy the ride.

Agreed. I'll take 11 over in June all day.

I agree but there is a nearly 1% chance it happens. Not only are we ahead of schedule but the team absolutely loves Snit. He’s here for at least another year.

The only hope I have for change is Anthopoulos. He has zero loyalty to Snit, and Snit was frankly forced on him.

We know the front office pushed Inciarte in the nine spot to Snit, and he’s refusing to do it. Maybe there are other similar things like that?

I tend to agree that he’s almost certainly back, just trying to find some hope for there to be a change.

Old manager.

Cannot believe we've given up 17 runs in 2 games to this trash lineup.

Giving up runs like Neck owed ‘em some.

He wasn’t trying to slap the ball out of Flaherty’s glove. He was giving him a love tap on the leg. You can see him smiling at Flaherty. They used to be teammates.

Watching replay in stop action, the slap was a down ward hard slap to back of hand. Not even close to leg.

 

[Perfect Cell]

I’m in the camp of new manager and pitching coach.

The moment there were news reports saying he was ignoring the lineup suggestions from the data analytics team in the front office is the monent he should have been fired.

 

[AerchAngel]

He was doing okay for most of the season but lately his managing has been head scratching to me on substitutions, switching and burning player in unnecessary scenarios. That is what troubling.


Want to shout out, first time I've seen Perfect Cell since the Scout board. How ya doing?

Where was this?

Where was this?

I'm also curious about the sourcing for this claim. Did we miss something?

Yeah, you’re right. He’s totally a bush league player.

Why shouldn’t I believe you? It’s totally based off assumption and conjecture, after all. Seems like a sound conclusion.

Good thanks for asking
