GDT 9/11/20 - Freddie visits his slam piece

[TheBravos]

So...next week:

Fried, Hamels, Anderson, Folty, tag team Ynoa/Wilson (3 innings a piece)?

Tomlin is too old to be in the rotation...he is already worn down. Great out of the bullpen.

Markakis is just so ****ing useless after his scorching two-week start.

Like, sub-Inciarte-level production.

 

[jpx7]

Albies was missed.

Could Pache really be a worse hitter than Inciarte and Neck at this point?

I know his hitting is not great, but this would seem to be a perfect time to get him experience.

 

[jpx7]

Could Pache really be a worse hitter than Inciarte and Neck at this point?

Yes: he really could.

And when you add in that he's not likely to be substantially better, plus service-time issues and his importance to the Braves' future, it's hard to fault the team for keeping him down.

I “think” Neck will come around. Never seen him this bad. He would have to have better exit velo and would have to make as much contact as Ender.

I get it, but man...at some point he has to play to improve. If one of the guys were playing well, it would be a no brainer keeping Pache down.

I know it’s easy to down Markakis, not just because of how the organization (mainly Snit) overrates and over-relies on him, but also because he replaced Heyward. But, just like I wasn’t going to assume Ender was done after an extremely small sample, I’m not going to assume Neck is done after an extremely small sample.

And, yes, I know you can use the second half of last season to support the case against him.

 

[msstate7]

Markakis is hitting 8th? We really complaining about that?

 

[msstate7]

We have some damn good hitters, but soto may be better than them all.

 

[CyYoung31]

I find it hard to believe that there are two rotations this year that are worse than ours.

Meridian community college and who?

Soto is incredible. The Trea Turner pitch was garbage but the one to Soto was strong.

 

[CyYoung31]

Jesus, how did nobody alert Tomlin that Soto was taking off before he even started the wind up?

 

[striker42]

Juan Soto is probably my least favorite player in the game.

 

[CyYoung31]

Might as well be batting practice.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Gah. This is the worst rotation I’ve seen from Atlanta in my 28 years as a fan. Jesus. They don’t look like they’re trying... and they are, they’re just so bad

 

[jsebe10]

Might as well be batting practice.

No sh*t...They are literally playing little league on the base paths too...Soto was in the middle of 3B and HP as the pitch came...it’s embarrassing these last few rotation spots.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

a bit early to consider it, but Braves magic number to win the division is 16, while to clinch a WC spot is 13

 

[TheBravos]

This seems very familiar...

 

[UNCBlue012]

WHAT?!
