If you are going to make a dumb argument, it might be slightly helpful to even have a slight clue what you are talking about. He doesn't hit better LH.

I read his post to say "could he benefit from improving as a LH hitter...yes" instead of "he's a better LH hitter than RH hitter".

Doesn't change the fact that I have no idea why he made the other post that said "people say that but he hits more homers RH than LH"....like, no shite dude...everyone knows he's a better RH hitter.

Wow, you're in midseason form already.

You're the postseason David Freese of bad takes

Who exactly are you trying to get to shut up? Everybody but apparently one person knows he is clearly better. Copying and pasting stats adds nothing to this

Tom Hart was calling the Bama basketball game last night, the student section noticed and broke out the chop at one point. Harts partner did acknowledge it and Hart said these guys must do their homework. DOB added today that they haven't gotten an update from Bally but Hart is seemingly the top choice

Yeah Grissom ain't starting at Gwinnett.

The other two are definitely possible.

If Orlando fricking Arcia is our opening day SS because Grissom isn't ready to play the position, then that'll make letting Dansby and his hometown discount walk all the more idiotic.

The only way the front office comes out of this without egg on their faces is if Grissom shows he can make all the basic plays in the field to keep his potential high OBP bat in the lineup. I have to believe part of the reason they let Dansby walk and subsequently made their big move on catcher instead of short is because Grissom showed them something this offseason. If not, then we just look like cheap bitches who put saving money over competing.

Full list of Braves playing in the World Baseball Classic:

Ronald Acuña Jr., OF, Venezuela
Alex Dickerson, Fat Guy, Israel
MarceLOL Ozuna, OF/DH, Dominican Republic
Kevin Pillar, OF, Israel
Chadwick Tromp, C, Netherlands
Eddie Rosario, OF, Puerto Rico


Kind of sucks that two of the dudes that'll be competing for LF (Three if you count Ozuna) won't be with the team for much of the spring.

If Grissom isn't ready, I'd like to see us sign Andrus to fill the gap. I know it likely won't happen, but he seems to fit the need.

I've never heard of him until today. He does have a YouTube video of a Nats/Rangers game up that he called for Fox last year if you want to hear how he sounds doing baseball.
