GDT 8/28/23: Braves @ Rockies - Albies Returns

[jpx7]

Elder gave up some missiles.

And Braves hit a few with less luck.

Need Elder to settle in and keep this close until the Braves bust out.

 

[msstate7]

Wouldn't affect tonight, but I think it's time to think about a platoon at SS

 

[Nerfherders]

I really thought that was out damn

Goober won’t survive the second time through without a couple runs coming home.

With whom?

Braves don't have a LHH SS in the organization who can hit a damn.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

With whom?

Braves don't have a LHH SS in the organization who can hit a damn.

Yeah. I am not sure I want Lopez taking the majority of starts on this team.

 

[Enscheff]

Did Ozzie get any rehab PAs?

 

[chop2chip]

Do these guys know you can score from 1st on a single at this park?

There is no value being aggressive on the base paths ugh

 

[CyYoung31]

What an idiot.

 

[Enscheff]

Mike…wtf? Please stop trying to be like Acuna.

With the braves, Lopez...
.361/.385/.472

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dude… use your freaking head

 

[UNCBlue012]

Riley though!

 

[msstate7]

Great decision, Harris

 

[Enscheff]

Are we starting to understand why outs are more valuable than extra bases?

 

[Nerfherders]

Hells yeah 27

 

[jpx7]

Yeah. I am not sure I want Lopez taking the majority of starts on this team.

I'm sure that I don't want that.

López is elite with the glove, but he's bad enough with the bat that it wouldn't make up the deficit between Arcía's league-average bat and the surprisingly very-good defensive season Arcía is having.

 

[chop2chip]

That hit by Olson is why the Harris play was so stupid. Anything hit hard to the outfield is extra bases

 

[Nerfherders]

Rain skirting right past us here but shouldn’t pose a problem

 

[CyYoung31]

Should be 3 to ****ing 1.

They ought to get fined for committing idiotic baserunning mistakes like that.
