re: The ATL thread 5/24 - let’s see if the offense can get back on track

And can’t even hustle on a potential trouble ball. Good grief

Multiple guys in the lineup are automatic outs right now

He was spinning his wheels out of the box. That part wasn’t his fault. The AB was horrendous though……he and Tromp both.

Agree...Almost June, low batting avg, only 2 HR, not good in the clutch, another wierd arse injury probably around the corner.

To be fair he slipped in the box on that one.....but he makes me irrationally pissed with the way he halfasses it all the time.

Harris had the worst AB of the inning. Not a single pitch thrown his way was a strike

The sad thing is that we wasted a whole series of pitching performances from guys that aren’t our “marquee” arms.

Like the Nats have the highest scoring offense in baseball and our staff shite that arse down.

The problem is that our offense got gang raped by the worst pitching staff in the league.

Acuna is not coming back to any superstar form he had a few years ago. He peaked real early and it didn’t last long. I really thought he had KG Jr. type potential. We all did.

Exactly 1/3 thru the season

We’ve won exactly 2/3 of our games.

Play .500 ball the rest of the way and we finish 90-72.

That should make the playoffs.

Once the playoffs start, it’s whoever plays best for that month.

Also, at 90-72, Philly would have to go 64-45 to catch us.

From an overarching organization developmental standpoint, you look at what our lineup would be when fully healthy, five of the players (Acuna, Albies, Baldwin, Harris, Riley) were internationally signed or drafted by us, four of those players have surpassed their arb years or had their arb years erased by a contract (everyone except Baldwin) and three of them have seen their offensive numbers nearly consistently trend down before their age 30 seasons (Acuna, Albies, Riley).

It's weird as hell that all three were more potent offensively when they first broke in to where they are now as seasoned vets, but still very much in their prime age years.
