Patience with Riley is now border line insanity. Dude can't hit off speed period

I would be wildly enthused if we see Max Fried back in his 2020 form tonight.

What does the board think of eventually trying to trade Austin Riley?


Not now. His value is at its floor.

I guess growing up in Western PA helps you get accustomed to accepting shitty baseball.

We all want Riley to break out and make that position his for the next decade but his last 350 plate appearances have been horrid. He mashed everything in his first few weeks and then pitchers started throwing him something other than fastballs.

I'm not as down on him defensively as others, but he's looked lost at the plate long enough for me to think he is just in a slump because he doesn't have a track record of sustained success at this level.

Got a feeling the bats awaken in a big way. Could be the Big Mac I had for the first time in 10 years for lunch but hoping it’s not.

By the way...yesterday when I was at the game, somewhere around the 5th inning, Ender threw a ball to the crowd after he finishes warming like he did every inning before that.

Except this time he left it short and it hit the wall and bounced back on the field

Seriously, it’s funny that the 3 players who were switched up in the batting order are the three players to hit and score.

Barring injuries, this should be the first 5 in the order for the rest of the season.

Breaking ball hasn't really been breaking for Fried so far this year.

Pitchers facing the Atlanta Braves have a higher OPS than Austin Riley.

What’s the problem with Max. Haven’t watched his starts closely. An issue with command or stuff?
