GDT 8/17/20 - Squashing the gnats

[CyYoung31]

For reference, Camargo is having a 2013 Melvin Upton type year at the plate so far. Both Riley and Inciarte are having worse years than that.

Remember when we had Melvin, CJ, and Simmons all in the lineup and having historically bad years? You can’t win like that. And two guys are even worse than all of them, so far.

 

[TheBravos]

Give hech or Culberson a shot. Camargo is horrible.

I mean why are they not letting Culberson in at all. He is not incredible, but is a better hitter than Ender, Riley and Camargo easily at this point.

The braves bottom 3rd is hard to watch.

Braves are basically playing with a 6 man lineup

 

[CyYoung31]

This is a system Braves team. It couldn’t hang in the more physical Braves era of the 90’s.

 

[Skeeter31]

Luis Garcia is the first player born in the 2000s to hit a HR in MLB. And of course it was against us.

 

[msstate7]

Man, these young pitchers flash what could be, and then they'll slap you in the face back to reality the next outing.

 

[CyYoung31]

Does anyone understand the Nats’ advancement of Garcia? He’s only 20, barely spent time in the upper minors, and has...not been a very good hitter in his career.

 

[CyYoung31]

This ump is GARBAGE.

Yes. He has the tools and always has been extremely young for every level he's played at, facing much older competition. And he's held his own. Not sure he was ready for a promotion though under normal circumstances.

 

[CyYoung31]

That’s Hall of Famer Nick Markakis!

 

[mfree80]

Why not Adams here?

 

[CyYoung31]

Welp, inning over.

 

[CyYoung31]

Why not Adams here?

That wasn’t in the instruction booklet AA gave to Snit.

 

[TheBravos]

...and now with this part of the line up....two quick outs and we strand bases loaded again.

 

[salmagundy]

Book says throw off speed stuff to Camargo and get the K. Why can't he hit the off speed stuff this year?

 

[UNCBlue012]

What the hell is wrong with these idiots? The Nats are BEGGING them to win.

 

[CyYoung31]

Game over.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Boy we need acuna and oz back
