@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman I present data. You present feelings. We’re not the same. Go Braves!

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman Small sample size for everyone, given this is the first year of ABS. But “reasonable challenge” percentage is a good metric for aggressiveness. Drake is at 21%. Murph is at 48%, which leads all of Major League Baseball.

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman No surprises. This was posted after reviewing the data. Drake has been very good percentage wise but doesn’t challenge nearly enough. Murph’s stats are also skewed by a slot start. Drake is also one of the worst catch and throw guys in baseball. It’s an easy decision

@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman Only DHing*

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman Bottom line: Murph is only starting so they have the option to pinch hit for him late in the game, which I take issue with. He hits velo as well as anybody on the team and is also swinging as well as anyone on the team. No one in the org would argue Drake is the better defender

Right answers only

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@BravesFalconsUM @mlbbowman Not a slight to Drake. Murph is clearly the superior catcher and does a much better job of using ABS. We saw last night how important that can be in these games. They are obviously DHing Murph to potentially pinch hitter for him later in the game, which is an even bigger mistake

@mlbbowman I think you’re forgetting a postseason moment…

Joey Votto: I don’t see the Braves scoring anymore runs.

Time for a group of men I’ve never met to dictate my mental health and happiness and the longer it goes on for, the better it is for my overall mental health. How fun. Go Braves

[Joe Patrick @JoePatrick]

Steelers fans should be far more concerned than Falcons fans based upon what they’ve seen today. At least the Falcons’ offensive struggles are explainable. This is the Steelers fully healthy!

@iAintSh1t Very much yes

@KevinKeneely1 Dylan Lee is just outside the top 10 in baseball in appearances. No one else is in the top 50

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@theaceofspaeder How is this aging? Meanwhile, the Phillies continue to have the 4th best run differential in the division by a large margin

[Kyle @KBtheDPT]

@grantmcauley Austin Riley:
- Pre-Extension: 280/340/524 (1601 PAs)
- Post-Extension: 258/326/456 (2019 PAs)
- Post Brumley death: 256/314/447 (810 PAs)

That post extension sample size is both quite large and extremely mediocre for a corner infielder making $22M annually through 2032
