GDT 3/29/24: Braves @ Phillies - Opening Day

[CrimsonCowboy]

No surprise, but Murphy going on the IL due to oblique

[thewupk]

Takes the sting out of the playoffs a little. Would love to sweep them.

Guys. Things are different around here. Thought this thread would be way more panicked. Good win. Now sweep these dummies.

I don't see how anyone can be panicked with this team.

Even with a slight regression from last year's numbers, this offense is still probably the best in baseball. Losing Murphy sucks, but having D'Arnaud isn't a bad thing.

TDA sucked last year though. And we miss the superior defense.

Sure. But we're probably gonna score a few hundred runs extra to make up for the defensive loss.

Is this the same oblique Murphy injured last year?

[striker42]

There will be few injuries this year that don't hurt because there are few players on the roster who aren't excellent players.

Tromp is the move, right?

[Hulavol]

We scored nine runs without hitting a home run.
That’s some good stuff…..

Yes - Making Atlanta Great Again- gotta be Tromp.

And I’d bring up Charlie Culbertson too. :)

Tromp: 2024

[Carp]

Phillies seem to think they own Strider even though he literally had only 2 hard hit balls all night against him. 1 of those just happened to be a homer with a runner on.

[cajunrevenge]

CJ Nitkowski makes me want to sleep.

Zero enthusiasm.

Seeing relievers get lit up probably doesn't bring back good memories for him

I’m sure there are folks around here who actually panic, but there’s no real reason to. This team is beyond good. At this point, the only thing that will stop them is injuries - see the 2022 playoffs - or an insanely out-of-the-norm cold streak. Even with Murph’s injury, they have a borderline All-Star to step in and carry the weight until he returns. It’s crazy.

Cmon they were good times. Better than average.

You'll change your tune when we start seeing all the winning.

[cajunrevenge]

We'll win the world series but only win less thant 47% of regular season games!

Glad you admit it.
