Hech

Think Culberson gets cut when albies is ready?

 

[salmagundy]

He's at 65, not 85 but he should still be done unless we hang a 3-4 spot here.

Broadcast showed O'Day warming up. Milone did his job, lucky to only give up 1.

You need glasses. No edit!!!

Hahahaha Ronnie!

 

[thewupk]

[TURBO]

Its Nice having our best player back

 

[msstate7]

This lineup is gonna be sick if albies is right

 

[thewupk]

Its Nice having our best player back

yes....yes it is

 

[thewupk]

EV was 113. damn

Acuna is freakin insane. Comes back from injury and hits 2 bombs in 3 at bats so far.

That should be the move, but wtfk. I'm surprised Culberson is still on the roster, especially given he's basically been deployed as a ghost this season.

Hechavarría's the more useful player to a healthy roster, because he can actually play a good SS defensively. But with Albies out, and Camargo ded, I'm surprised Culberson hasn't at least received a couple starts at 2B—as scant of an offensive upgrade as he'd likely be.

Nothing cheap about that one.

I guess Venezuelan trout wasn't an over exaggeration

 

[zbhargrove]

Can we have 3 teammates hit 3 homers in 3 straight games?

 

[Hudson2]

If Acuna hits another homer this game that would have to be a record having 3 guys hitting 3 homers in a game in 3 straight games.

He just has a 169 WRC+. It's not that good.

If he does... Freddie better man up and do it Game 2... forgot about the 7 inning thing though... Acuna will prob not bat again...

EDIT: maybe he will... he only needs a couple hits ahead of him.

 

[thewupk]

So I have another feeling the Braves will forever keep Acuna in the leadoff spot so he breaks Rickeys record.
