GDT 7/17/22: Braves @ Gnats - Striding into the Break

[Enscheff]

I actually don’t even see the need for umpires at all. Automated strike zone, and let the players self call all rulings on the field. Any disagreements go to replay in NY. Most calls are so obvious an ump isn’t needed.

 

[Dunit24]

WTF??! 2 awful calls that at bat

These bums will be without a job hopefully sooner then later. Robo umps will correct clear bias umpiring.

 

[CyYoung31]

Btw why is Heredia not playing today?

 

[CyYoung31]

Also, did anyone else hear Moylan getting irritated with Jordan?

Just hire college kids to umpire the base paths.

He will never play again. Merrifield will be here soon, and heredia will be gone. AA will probably make the royals take him so they can cut him like he did with panda

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I doubt Carl Edwards Jr. gets much of value in a trade, Chip. Geez.

 

[chop2chip]

He didn’t talk for a solid 6 minutes even after Chip and Byrd kept asking him questions.

 

[msstate7]

I wish they'd clear the whole tv booth. I'm not a fan of any of them... including frenchy, who most here like

You mean Heredia will suddenly feel some hamstring tightness.

Lol, perhaps

Cano's defense is a problem

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Cano's defense.....

 

[Garmel]

Cano's range is killing us.

 

[Enscheff]

Cano really is pretty sluggish out there defensively. It’s like he’s running in wet sand.

 

[msstate7]

Cano's defense.....

He's perfectly aligned, and simply couldn't make a play

I think Frenchy is good. Byrd is solid. Green seems acceptable (he’s only been in the booth, like twice). I honestly think Moylan might be decent if he wasn’t paired with Jordan. I don’t really have a problem with him.

Just remember, everyone is brought down a peg when Chip Caray is your lead announcer.

 

[chop2chip]

Cano was a fine dice roll but a different solution is needed after the all star break.

Merrifield. He can also be the rh part of cf if needed

 

[Garmel]

Cano cost us another run.
