2 things.

I love DeRo. He’s just a smart baseball guy, who has a genuine love for the game.

Chipper has been putting in that work with Riley and it’s paying off. When DeRo said Chipper said Riley looks like Troy Glaus, I got a little excited. Glaus was one of the best 3rd baseman of his generation.

Austin Riley has a faint resemblance to Tim Tebow

He's much more good ole boy than pretty boy though. Tebow is a great guy but he's also a bit of a prima donna. Riley doesn't seem to desire the spotlight as much.

Crazy that Austin is almost a 2 war player already this season.

If you took a poll before the season who would be worth the most wins on June 1st he would've prolly finished 8th or 9th at best.

Man, I've always been high on him, especially because in the video where DeRo talks about how high Chipper had always praised him. Glad to see he's finally coming into his own.

I loved this, but the whole time I was thinking, “he’s giving away too much” and then at the end he said it. So everyone is going to throw him away for the next two weeks lol

They already have the data to know that.

Unless I’m mistaken he said his “window” changes depending on the pitcher so maybe not necessarily

And as I understood, depending on what and how the pitcher is throwing.

I’m glad Riley is making me look stupid for saying earlier this year he was Dan Uggla 2.0 seems like a good kid and he’s mashing

So happy for this dude. Ran into him at a good course near Cooltoday Park last year. He was just finishing his round and I was about to begin mine. Only thing I had for him to sign was my Braves visor. He very graciously signed, I asked how he hit em and he said something non-committal. Wished me luck with my round, I wished him luck getting the starting 3B job.
