gdt 8/18 doggers

So Riley, Duvall, and now Ortega. These AAA outfielders we keep calling up do some damage after they arrive.Who's next?

Blanco and LaMarre have had good seasons. Florimon has been hot lately. Our depth is underrated.

Baseball can absolutely drive you nuts. But, that GS by Ortega is what makes it all worth it.

 

[nsacpi]

I look at someone like Prado who would excel in this environment in his prime.

Definitely something to look into to try and exploit while the league keeps using it.

Yeah. Prado would be a very valuable player in today's game.

Anyone else see Bellinger making the safe sign as he got to first thinking there was no way "H" makes that play? LOL

 

[CyYoung31]

I call it the Jeff McNeil model. Look for guys with a good hit tool with a low strikeout rate. With the new ball they have a chance to be 15-20 homer guys. Rafael Ortega has a chance to be a late bloomer of sorts. Like McNeil.

Does Ortega have a good hit tool though?

lol this ump is bad

 

[Carp]

Is it unlucky or making ****ty pitches in this new environment? A 341 xWOBA is not even close to being good.

I mean it's nearly double his career average and his other peripherals are holding steady. I feel pretty confident it will drop significantly over the rest of the season.

Looks like Snit gave Freddie this series off even though he left him in the lineup.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Wow missed a lot today. Just saw the Acuna play. Snit did the right thing.

Does Ortega have a good hit tool though?

There are some signs. Low K rate, high BABIP in the upper minors. K rate a bit higher this year but also more power.

Oh, and he has a lot of experience in center.

Time to see if Shane can survive 3 outs again

 

[CyYoung31]

He also threw an immaculate inning.

 

[CyYoung31]

lol

We certainly didn’t need him in the pen.

 

[The Tariff King]

All of our new arms are throwing strikes now. Weird.

 

[USMA76]

All of our new arms are throwing strikes now. Weird.

We're all thinking the same thing but don't want to say anything and jinx it.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

We see you, Shane Greene

 

[thewupk]

who is this Shane Greene guy?
