Yup the Braves are definitely trolling the gnats. Another game where we let them get just close enough to crush their souls.

Meanwhile, it certainly looks like Fried could be turning into a stud. His last 7 starts: 2.90 ERA, .259 wOBA against, 2.07 FIP, 2.56 xFIP, 11.4 K/9 (31.3% K-rate), 1.8 BB/9 (4.9% BB-rate), 0.4 HR/9.

His ability to add high quality pitches to his arsenal has been truly remarkable and speaks to his excellent athleticism.
I’m guessing a legit cutter is next based off the cut action we see in some of his heaters. He will then have a full set of tools and command required to be a TOR guy for a couple years.

Who would have thought this was possible at the start of the season?

Sorry, but kindly do not put words in my mouth. My stance on Donaldson has not changed, will not change and I will be perfectly fine when someone else pays him. The Braves don't shell out short mega contracts. They didn't for Sheff, Drew, or Tex. I just don't care for guys that carry themselves the way Donaldson does. Chipper is cocky but he let his bat talk. He didn't hush the other dugout, brag about the back of his baseball card, etc. You all just need to get over that I don't care for him.
So, as a latecomer in these parts, I have to ask a question. I don't really care for Donaldson myself (the back of the baseball card didn't bother me, but I don't like his overly-confrontational ways). But surely you do agree he's having an excellent season and has been a huge boon for the offense?
