He'll run into HRs, but he has a problem with premium velocity Correct. But he slugged .497 against fastballs last year and hit 12 homeruns off fastballs. This year his average was only slightly better but his slugging was only .352 and he hit only 1 homerun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he can't hit them. He has to shorten his swing. He rears up trying to knock it into the parking lot. If he doesn’t fix it he will spend his career as a 4C backup or on the short side of a platoon, which would be a shame because when he is on he looks like Harmon Killebrew up there AUTiger7222 and FalconsIn2012 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they eat the Dodgers alive. You know what's funny about them being in that division? Their original owner was given the choice of being in the central or east division and chose the east and the Tigers moved to the central to make room in the east. He said he wanted to be in the same division with the Yankees and Red Sox because then people would come and watch his team play.

I noticed alot of the strikeouts or pop fly's were on massive going for it all swings. It felt like we went away from being a very good hitting team to everyone trying to be a hero and that just not what brought us to this dance i didn't like it 1 bit. Exactly. They were trying to match homeruns with the Dodgers and they couldn't do it. Dodgers naturally hit homeruns because they stayed within themselves. Braves started trying to hit homeruns and it resulted in a lot of weak fly balls. NashvilleFalcon01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup i've seen many teams do it as well and it sucks every time. Which is crazy because the best part about the offense was watching people get hits, get on base, and the next guy keeping the hit train going. Every player would be doing the mix it up after each hit because everyone was getting in on it and they fed off each other. They went away from the one thing they loved doing the most sdogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was homeless twice that year and lived in the dead of winter without any power in a condemned trailer. When I did get the chance to catch a game at someone's house I had to put up with drunk fools that I didn't even know and put up with the whole Scam Newton crap from them because they were all Bammer fans. So yeah, Auburn may have won the championship that year, but there was no joy I could take from it given the circumstances of my personal life. Well we will be in good shape to make several runs over the next decade.

jidady Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Something I want to add is that we traded for Dansby in anticipation of him being clutch and a winner. The first two years were rough, but you can hear the pride in Smoltz’s voice when he talks about how much Swanson has advanced as a hitter ever since. sdogg, falconsd56, AUTiger7222 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'd like for us to try and sign him long term. He'll never live up to being the first pick in the draft, but dude's a winner.

jidady Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The most important thing about the 2021 Braves is something we cannot control. We need Mike Soroka to come back like it’s 2019. That takes all the pressure off Anderson, Wilson, and Wright. Ergo Proxy, EddieK and AUTiger7222 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, at least it wasn't an arm injury, but the next worst thing is an achilles, but knowing how he trains and attacks things, I bet he'll be back to 100% at some point next year. With him back, we've got a solid starting rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
