Gonna have to start digging around AAA and AA for a bottom hitter. Hell, even Swanson is shite right now.

Austin Riley has 1 XBH in his last 90 plate appearances.

Luckily we still have about 60 more games until we can start to be concerned about him!


Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. I guess we suck as fans for watching baseball with a football mentality though.

To help out our friend SteelerBravesDawgs, if only those Steelers had given Jarvis Jones and Artie Burns another 300 snaps a piece to prove they weren't bums.

Acuna is trying to win MVP on a 60 win team. He is amazing.

Braves have second most wins in NL and most wins per $$$ spent in NL under AA. Team won a playoff series for the first time in 20 years in a year you proclaimed they weren’t even good enough to win the division.

Not sure how that’s comparable to Riley but if you want to make this a fire AA thread every single night keep on firing. You know as well as I do he’s in absolutely zero danger.

It’s really impressive to produce three outs on two bunt attempts. Now watch as Morton still gets pulled next inning

Can ANYONE explain sending a guy while sac bunting? 3 runs down?
With Acuna on deck?

WTF?

For as well as Snit did last year, he's been horrendous tactically this year.

Someone will come on and strike out Ozuna on 4 pitches and get the easiest win of his life.

Riley has at points every season been our hottest hitter, but now the books out on him that he can't keep up with fastballs. This is very much a make or break season for him.

Like Riley, AA may have had success in the past (Although some of it needs to be attributed to prior regimes for stacking the farm), but he fricked up the construction of this team and needs to be called out for it.

Hide behind the stats all you want, but we were one win away from the World Series last year, and then this offseason every other team around us got better, while we got worse.

That's just a fact and Liberty Media and your lord and savior deserve blame for coming out of the gates like this.
