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

[UNCBlue012]

I know he hits a ton of balls on the ground, but it’s still shocking that Ronnie only has 29 homers given how hard he hits the ball.

 

[jpx7]

Feels like the Braves deserve 3-4 more runs and the Rockies deserve about two fewer.

 

[Nerfherders]

Murphy three rockets tonight

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good to see murph have a solid game at the plate

 

[msstate7]

Arcia needed that

 

[Enscheff]

I guess you're right about LH getting most the starts, but I at least think lopez should get some starts at SS

Of course he should. He should be starting 1 game a week giving the entire infield 1 day off a month. That’s preferable to losing Albies for 2 weeks because he had to play every single day for some unknown reason.

 

[CyYoung31]

This should be Rosario.

 

[msstate7]

I didn't realize pillar's numbers have gotten this bad

Acuna is 15% fly ball rate away from being the runaway MVP. He did that back in 2020/2021, and if he can get back to that he will post a 10 win season.

 

[USMA76]

At the admitted risk of being whiny, does it seem like pitches just off the plate are strikes to our batters but balls to theirs?

 

[Enscheff]

This should be Rosario.

What? Do you want Snit to manage this like a playoff game?? Psssh.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Thanks, Pillar! Productive out

 

[Nerfherders]

Gotta just keep scoring every inning

 

[msstate7]

Man, who is in LF, 39-year-old Peyton manning?

 

[CyYoung31]

Dude has been given the keys to a Ferrari and routinely falls asleep at the wheel.

He's been awful outside of one good month.

 

[jsebe10]

I will credit Snit there...He didn't play directly into Black's hand there.

Rosario has reverse splits this year, so it still would’ve been the right move.

 

[Enscheff]

There apparently is a SS on the bench named L Williams. I legit have no idea who this is, which is the first time I think that’s ever been the case.

Who in the world is this guy? And why do the Braves have 3 SS on the roster?

 

[Nerfherders]

Pillar!
