I've tried giving him the benefit of the doubt for the last few months, but I can't do it anymore. He struck out swinging 5 times in the first 2 games of the Mets series and wasn't even close to making contact. His swing plane is all fricked up.

Among qualified players, Riley is fourth in strikeouts, sixth to last in OPS and 4th to last in batting average. It's shockingly shitty!

He needs a peyote trip to the desert to completely reset his broken mind

Oh buddy we still have 6 more years of that contract at $22mil per.

We're stuck with him.

I have no doubt he is posting in some capactiy. He needs this place, unfortunately.

He was getting railed on when posting under his original name and thought he'd pull one over on the community by creating a new name. Unfortunately for him he didn't change his posting style and was quickly found out while trying to claim he forgot his password. He had to have learned a lesson from that and has probably tried to fly under the radar.

Soon...

Riley needs a fresh start somewhere else, and the Braves need to move on, but no one will take on that albatross of a contract. They're stuck with him.

Wow. I knew he was having a bad year, but I didn’t realize it was one of the worst hitters in the league bad.

Braves fans helping him learn Japanese?

He has been on a downward slide for 3 years, but it really fell off a cliff this year. That contract is quickly drifting into Chris Davis territory.

Why not bench him? He’s obviously not needed given the year the team is having.

Needs to get out of the deer stand and into the batting cage this offseason. This isn't a slump, he is fundamentally flawed right now
