We are screwed with these newextra inning rules, we can't play small ball. Very true. Thank goodness Ozzie played long ball tonight.

In his last 19 games Austin Riley is 28 for 77 for a .364 batting average, with 6 doubles, 8 home runs and 24 runs batted in. And he's struck out 21 times. Quit bashing Riley with stats on his strikeouts! LOL

Don't make too much out of it.. it was a factual observation about his strikeout rate. I think claiming someone thinks it's "the end of the world" is a bit much. The end of the world is hyperbole, but WNC and PA were both making a big deal about it tonight.....a 2 doubles, 2 RBIs night. I thought it was stupid and uncalled for criticism and I stand by that sentiment. I absolutely did NOT make a big deal. I simply reported the rate. You assumed I made a big deal! Go back and read my comment. I simply stated the rate per plate appearance and YOU assumed I was making a big deal. In fact, with his production I am more than OK with the rate. Of course everyone's could be better, i.e. Dansby has improved dramatically but in no way was I bashing Riley over strikeouts.

Why bring up a negative (which isn't that negative) when this kid has made so much progress? No mention of that, just the K's. If you think I'm dying on that hill, you're correct. I am.

I haven't chosen to die on any hill, dude. I just thought you made a little too much of a couple of people talking about Riley's strikeouts. We can move on now. I disagree. Have a nice day and go Braves.

No mention of that, just the K's. If you think I'm dying on that hill, you're correct. I am. Whatever...die away. I didn't post it as a negative. Just because someone posts about strikeouts doesn't mean its a negative. You TOOK it as a negative when it wasn't meant to be. If someone posted that Hank Aaron struck out 97 times in 1967 would that be a negative and bashing? It's simply a stat! Somebody posted about the strikeouts (I didn't even bring it up!) so I thought I'd post what his rate actually was. I had no idea I was going to get bashed for posting a valid statistic. I actually explained that I thought it wasn't bad considering his production. Riley has done a great job and the strikeouts really don't bother me. I thought the actual stat would be insightful. Didn't know I had to walk on eggshells posting it. I forgot in this day and age people get offended by everything and anything. Now they're offended by an actual baseball statistic. Guess we're only allowed to post stats that don't offend or have the appearance of offending people now. SMH

Bringing up facts in an argument are not allowed here. It’s always “over criticism”
Editors note:
This is a total bullshit comment.

I'll say one thing that is dying, and that is this tread.
Let this discussion die here as well.
