We Got The Whole 9

Wasting their time on that when they should be banning his walk-up song

Could have saved 35m and signed Cahill

God you horsefeathering schmuck

Schwarber with the masse

Premature but his PC is low enough to no-hit these hose

That was an amazing throw, wow

Yuck Javy

Willy with the Sammy hop granny

horsefeathers, I did

Braves are Murderer's Row right now

So Addy is up to a 91 wRC+ and I imagine his FWAR will double after this game. He's right on the cusp of a top 15 offensive SS, that's how bad the position is.

First game with Bryzzo dongs?

Nice to see KB drive a pitch to RCF

My bad then. Thought you were serious the way you kept repeating it.

Thank you, Duke. I won't flood the place but at least I will try to have as informed posts as I possibly can.

I really don't care who the culprit is. I think it's just something weird going on with him. He's seeing more pitches in the zone -- probably because he's hitting .085. But the BB% is still really fluky. It's not like he's up there hacking away like Javy. Regardless, I don't think he's looking for zones in any quadrants more than he's ever been or that pitchers know how to attack him or anything like that. He just horsefeathering sucks right now. It doesn't have to be more than that. Could you tell me which site and where to find stats like that?

Funny how you were one of the guys who said not to blame struggles on Mallee but you're pounding the Chili blame drum every game. Rizzo is his own worst enemy right now. He refuses to swing at outside pitches and has like 2 quadrants he's looking for pitches in. Pitchers know this and get ahead in the count with low and away pitches he just stares at instead of hammering oppo. He gets into non-favorable counts constantly. He's had an abysmal approach at the plate. You say Chili is pressing our guys to become oppo singles hitters and Rizzo is most definitely not trying to do that at all. Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Rizzo's BB% is incredibly fluky. His First-pitch strike % is 58%. Career average? 58%. He's swinging at 66% of pitches in the zone. Career average? 66%. He's even being more discerning than usual, swinging at 26% of pitches out of the zone, which is well lower than it's ever been. And it has nothing to do with him taking pitches on the outside. From 2015 through 2017, he swung at 65.5% of pitches on the outer third. This year, he's swung at 71.8%. You don't have to create some dumb narrative for everything. Sometimes guys just struggle. He's changed nothing about his approach. He's the same guy. He's just hitting it like horsefeathers. Ok I submit. I don't know how to find details like that (swing% at outer third) and I went partially by what I've seen with my own 2 eyes, which is a cardinal sin in baseball viewing. I do see a guy (by the numbers) who's pulling more balls than ever and is not taking what the pitching is giving. I'd like to see him sit on some outside pitches and smash them into the gap. I don't see how a 4% walk rate after 30 games can be fluky but I have noticed that his oswing is lower than ever. I admit I'm wrong again but I don't believe Chili is the culprit and I stand by that comment being ridiculous.

Nice to scratch one out tonight

He's a religion

I'm gonna meatball and say the rumors + his season line have gotten to his head. His throws are looking shitty too.

Russell is just not looking to turn on the fastball like he used to. Late as hell on 93-94 in the middle of the plate.

This is the guy who scored from first on a double that didn't make it to the wall in the World Series. Lol Starlin.

Wouldn't it already be in the tank with his 600 OPS?

Dude has hit the vast majority of his batted balls to right center and they gave him a fastball on the outer half and he just watched it and then followed it up with that garbage. JFC.

God you horsefeathering idiot. You are a horrible bunter.
