This Braves SS sucks.

[UMFan83]

hahahaha they are bringing in a lefty to face Rizzo. when will teams learn?

[NotSoSober]

god damn, gonzalez pulling a larussa

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol @ Fredi

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo launch incoming.

[UMFan83]

should we just remind them

 

Rizzo - .974 OPS vs LHP, .926 vs RHP

 

Not to mention his BA and OBP are significantly higher so you are basically lowering his chance of hitting of HR or 2B when all we need is a hit

Why do managers continue to use lefties vs Rizzo?

[BigSlick]

It's too bad Starlin Castro never summoned the immense energy of Ryan Theriot that causes fielders to just drop balls.

 

It was certainly Theriot's greatest skill

[UMFan83]

haha [expletive] idiot barves

[Sammy Sofa]

Castro makes things happen.

[PrimeTime]

[expletive] finally some extra runs after those 2 DP's

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Smart play by Rizzo; always on top of things.

[Guest]

ten more years of being both smart and good at everything and rizzo might just end up my all time favorite cub

[Schwarber Fan]

EJaxx time.

I don't think I have a consensus favorite cub of all time so he's definitely making a strong case. Gun to my head it's Aramis right now.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Agreed. And he seems like a really swell guy, too.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Though, there are a couple of good options on this team when projecting into the future. And maybe an Addison Russell (or whoever) walk-off homer to win the World Series -- or, you know any big play -- might artificially tilt it in another player's direction.
