Frias is starting to get that hype because he's displaying 70 grade raw power with feel to hit. That's just not something you are used to seeing from an 18 year old. Martinez is a more well rounded player but doesn't have near the tools and upside of someone like Frias.
I don’t think it’s that wild. Frias being an entire year younger and having considerably larger raw tools is a big leg up for him. There’s a reason Frias is starting to get a lot of industry hype and Juan Martinez isn’t.
Yesterday was just the Eli White game. That catch he had on Yelich where he seemingly ran a mile to get it in the LF corner had a 5% catch probability and then he obviously had the 95mph throw from LF to gun Chourio in the 9th
That is not what you said. You're doing it again where you change what you said after the fact to act like people were attacking you. You said he was rushed to the show.
I didn't disappear at all. Mitchell had a 115 wRC+ when you made that comment at has a 119 wRC+ after tonight. He's basically been the same level player all season with some hot and cold streaks mixed in.
Be ready for him to mention how everyone told him he was wrong any time Chourio doesn't have a good moment the next few weeks like he did with Mitchell when I said Mitchell didn't need to pick it up.
Yeah I have no idea what Turang was doing to not end up on 2B there. If they cut it and throw you out at 2B the game is tied which is a good outcome. In that specific situation there's not reason not to go to 2B
I agree with you. He was way out in front of the cutter low and away on the previous pitch. Clearly was selling out for a FB. Played into what the hitter was swinging for. Think on most nights you could get away with it but tonight Misiorowski wasn't getting his FB up as much as he usually does. If that FB is at the top rail of the zone you probably get a pop up or swing and miss but he just wasn't hitting those spots tonight. Should have doubled up on the cutter away.
Exactly! Contreras was literally directly behind home plate. He should have been in line with Chourio telling him what to do but Contreras just was a complete no show tonight unfortunately.
I think Atlanta just played a really good situational game and played spectacular defense. They had 3-4 run saving plays tonight from their defense.
- Mateo well into the OF grass stops Turang's RBI single keeping it to only one run not two.
- White with the amazing running catch in the LF corner
- Suarez stops a baseball and gets the out at first preventing a game tying single to CF
- White with an absolutely perfect throw to get the tying run at home
The Braves just played better baseball tonight. Their LF makes the play and ours doesn't. Turang doesn't advance to 2B on the throw home. William not in the right spot telling Chourio how to slide. Just not Brewers baseball right there.
