I applaud him for it. The season is very long and tiring. It's nice that a guy wants to play every day, but it makes little sense. Rest up some and be closer to your best for 150-155 games than sub-par for a bunch of the. Plus the Braves' bench i good enough to make up for some of that lost production due to rest. Plus, the bench guys need AB's to be sharp when they are really needed.
pretty funny and smart of AA not to get into too many of these whopping long term contracts. We got Ronald and Ozzie quite frugally I think
You can add another to Acuna's 17 homers now.
Does anybody know why Fox Sports South is televising boxing instead of The Braves' game ?
Yet another 1 run come from behind win tonight. This team never seems to let the ups and downs bother it. Snitker might have some of Bobby Cox's incredible ability to keep players focused and never carry a loss into the next game. Newcomb hasn't given up an earned run over 9 games and 13 innings, he has lowered his ERA to 2.06.The pen has been really good of late.
Luke looked sharp and confident tonight. More innings like that and we might have ourselves something.
Yep, Jackson might be putting it together. Maybe Snitker knew something.
Camargo is getting the start tonight, not over Markakis but over Riley.
Riley is struggling a little bit right now...good time for a rest and to work on some things.
Agree. He's whiffing a little bit too much right now. I get that a power hitter will strike out more than others, but he's striking out nearly 1.5 times per game. Also, he's batting .333 at home and .213 on the road.
It's a good move to give a rookie a breather when he gets in a funk at the plate. Let him decompress a bit and get some rest.
I asked last night and here it is again. Does anybody know why The Braves' game is listed on the Fox Sports South schedule but they are running boxing for the second night in a row ? I'm using The Spectrum TV app, but it seems unlikely they'd run separate programing for the app.
It's not at all uncommon for a physically gifted young hitter to have quick success, then pitchers figure him out a bit and he either makes adjustments or like Frenchy and others, he's never the same again.
I don't think that is what's going on with Riley, but there is that possibility.
