If all that was so good why don’t they put it on the scoreboard ?

agreed

 

[Tapate50]

That walk percentage is pretty damn sexy.

 

[thewupk]

Braves have jumped to 1st in runs per game at 5.93 on the season.

Albies replacing Camargo/Hech was step 1

Step 2 will be getting Neck going again so he can replace Ender.

Devastating lineup.

Chipper
Freddie
Acuna


After being known for nothing but pitching for decades thr Braves have had some special hitters. Acuna could quite possibly become even better than Chipper.

Don't forget Adam Duvall. 1st Braves player to have two 3homer games.

But Lucas sims....

I still cannot believe what we saw last night. I was explaining to little Hula that we may never see that again for fifty years....
He said “nah, Ozzie and Acuna are just getting good dad. We will get thirty one day”

 

[Tapate50]

I’m of the opinion if given health, Ozzie is gonna be up there too on that list.

very smart

So what do we believe about the new version of Austin riley.

Is he now a sub 30% strikeout guy and approach hugh single digits walk?

Can he make thise even better in year 3?

Is it possible to see a 9-10% walk rate with a 23-25% k rate?

What kind of player is that with his power then?

I dont believe Ozzie will be on the level of those 3 personally. Just has too many issues left handed. But he will be not too far afterwards. Not on the level though. Chipper/freddie are all timers and its becoming clear that Acuna is well on his way.

He's 16-17 Jake Lamb

He's 16-17 Jake Lamb

Lamb was a few years older then. Hopefully riley has a more aggressive developmental track.

Maybe. But that's what a 10% walk rate with a mid 20's K rate with good power gets you. Assuming a standard BABIP of course which is reasonable to expect from Riley.

edit: And I'll add that would be a fantastic result from Riley, imo.

Agreed in the fantastic result. Riley i think has a higher ceiling. League/age comparisons and all.

I turned the game off in the 5th after the game was already over 2 hrs...

Holy moly.
