GDT 8-4: Brewers at Braves

[DaneHill]

Ugh. This dude is gonna come from behind and win NL ROY, isn't he?

 

[CJ9]

This Collins guy might be a problem for that ROY race. Need Baldwin to get it going.

 

[USMA76]

So much for the one run lead.

 

[msstate7]

A 28-year-old rookie is gonna steal it from Baldwin

 

[msstate7]

This Collins guy might be a problem for that ROY race. Need Baldwin to get it going.

And it will be horse shit. The pick is to encourage teams to bring guys up early. This guy is the same age as Austin Riley.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Baldwin can't have a day off.. he needs every at bat to stay ahead of Collins and Co. Braves pitching needs to do better against his ass at least.

 

[msstate7]

Olson well on his way to another sub-.800
Ops season. He's at .807 now in this free fall

 

[msstate7]

Man, it's a bobble head night (Lopez), and there still isn't anyone there

 

[msstate7]

Should liberty media sue the brave players?

Should liberty media sue the brave players?

not sure how they can justify keeping this FO and coaching staff

 

[mfree80]

Shift got Drake.

 

[msstate7]

I'll be shocked if this team is good again next season without major changes

No chance. These hitters are not going to magically get better.

 

[Hulavol]

I couldn’t watch tonight -could only manage sneaking a few peeks at Gameday toward the end…. Good to see Drake risking his ROY for the good of the team and being unclutch with two on base and less than two outs… but that had to be a tough decision- draft picks either way ….

 

[Carp]

Maybe, but he's carrying a .356 BABIP with a 86.8 EV, and that includes a .389 BABIP since the start June.

Certainly guys can ride a high BABIP for a full season, but it seems more likely than not that Collins is gonna crash soon.

At least that is what I choose to believe.

 

[Enscheff]

Doesn't the prospect have to be on major Top 100 prospect lists to be eligible for this draft pick?

yes, on at least one I think.. maybe 2. But Baldwin checks all the boxes. Collins would not net a pick if I am not mistaken.

I think it is 2 of the 3 lists from MLB Pipeline, Baseball America and ESPN.

Edit: indeed it is.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I stumbled into a page with the Brave's team leaders and now I am really depressed. I advise you guys not to that.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The Braves have a pretty brutal schedule to finish up. What is really important though is to really botch those gNat and ShySox series.
