He should be DFA'd after today - certainly can't trade him (except perhaps for a bucket or two of balls). DBacks are finally hitting again but I don't think they can hang with the Braves lineup. This may be one of those 15-12 type of games.
I told my family about your prediction early in the game. :lol:

Despite the win, that game was still horribly managed. Canzone, who until tonight, had never had a MLB hit, batted 6th as a righty on righty.

Carson Kelly hit 8th despite having an OBP of .189 versus righties.

Honestly he needs to read the For Dummies book

The only thing I can think of is that he’s playing Carson Kelly with the hopes that he can get a little hard at the plate and increase the trade value.

Thats what i was thinking, showing other teams he is healthy for trade - the pitchers seem to actually pitch worse with him behind the plate.
If he's gonna play, then he should just be the full time catcher for Gallen, since they have a long, long history together.

Caught a quote by Brenly saying the club wanted to give our other Catcher a break, and from here on out it should be a 50/50 split in time.

Walkers stat line was pretty awesome, too. Made a couple plays at first base. The biggest part of the win or loss by Atlanta, was their three timely errors. That really sunk the game for them.

That's caca. Hasn't Carson started 3 out of the last 4, or more? Gabby is young...he doesn't need long breaks. He should be starting a minimum of 3/5 of the games.

Christian Walker: “You can only get kicked in the nuts so many times before you start flinching.”

Here is the current split in July

Kelly: Starts: 7 ABs: 22 Hits: 4 Walks: 0 Strikeouts: 6 Average 0.181

Moreno: Starts: 5 ABs: 16 Hits: 6 Walks: 3 Strikeouts: 5 Average 0.375

I will absolutely cheer when Torey is out of here.

Dbacks record per start:

Kelly: 1-6

Moreno: 3-2

It's nonsense.
