GDT 8/20/22: Braves vs Astros - World Series Rematch Game 2

[AJonesATL]

He really does have a bit of a Jeter vibe as a hitter

So, when albies returns, do you full time DH Grissom or what? Contreras isn't exactly a poor hitter

LF is the only option. Albies has to play.

Thats what I felt from the first game. The way he even takes pitches is jeteresque.

I think you dh him some. I think you look at lf.

Not sure what else you can do. He needs to play if he’s on the roster.

Man, can we just run our 2b out there in the middle of a pennant race?

And int he playoffs we want Contreras bat in there everyday as well. Easy opportunity for ABs in LF. Hope the kid can play there.

MFers threw all breaking balls that inning.

Is it substantially worse than what's currently out there?

Fair point. Albies may struggle when he gets back and cause the team to have other plans.

Watching him interact with the others, it seems like he's already a bit of a leader too... very vocal and impressive for a 21 year old kid.

 

[jsebe10]

It baffles me that the dude who’s 21 and played 11 MLB games is able to have enough discipline to recognize what Javier was trying to do and blasts one…But the 6 year vet looks like a fckn idiot

 

[Russ2dollas]

It does not look like Riley hit streak when Riley came up. Grissom just looks like a hitter.

Hr might be false frequency, but he can get 20 or so I think.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Have we established we want Harris or strider as Roy to get a draft pick?

 

[buck75]

Might be a good time to put Grissom fifth in the order for a few games. Just a few. Wait and see.

I want him hitting second

If we play the Mets I say we play Grissom as extra infielder and Harris and acuna handle the of

Dansby has been good there. I wouldn't mess with what's working

 

[bravesnumberone]

God, Altuve has a noodle arm.

 

[jsebe10]

Phillies winning... this is a huge AB. We need this game

They blew another chance…they have left 7 runners on base in 4 innings and are 3 for 14 with RISP

 

[msstate7]

Is altuve's arm gone? He's bounced a couple
