    Love the two catchers plan. Will we put the second behind the first in case of wild pitches?

    Have to go with Murph behind d'Arnaud right? He has the better arm.

    The real question is whether the team can overcome an error in the first iteration of the game thread 😀

    Can't change it now. A whoopsie for sure but best just to own the error rather than overcorrecting and inviting disaster.

    What a strange front-loaded schedule we have going. The Braves have had 21 of their first 37 games against either winning teams, or teams that made the playoffs last year, and they are currently in the midst of 21 of these games in a row, having played five. At the end it will be 37 of 53 before we get Oakland, and then six more before a string of ten against lose-y teams.

    To be fair, half of last year's playoff teams don't have winning records right now, so things are kind of upside-down.

    I think it is time to worry about Riley not being good anymore. He can't hit fastballs down the middle. He needs to be dropped to 6 or 7

    I think our offense is a bit overrated when Acuna and Murph are balling. everyone else is pretty meh...
