7-4 against the Reds, Pirates, and Nationals.
5/15: AJSS and the ROY batting second in the Business Man’s Special
- Thread starter Hulavol
- Start date
Pirates series was ass. Being 8-3 in that stretch would make me a feel a lot better.
It might have changed with last nights loss. But prior to that game the Braves had the 2nd best record in the NL since the 0-7 start. I believe Acuna will be just right but I worry about Strider if he's not hitting upper 90s.

Strider's starting against the Nationals next week (game TBD), Ronnie's returning soon, Smith-Shavwer and Baldwin are among the ROY finalists. Life is pretty good tbh
Pardon my dumbassness- but AJSS can’t get ROY- correct ?
AJSS had under 50 innings coming into the season so he didn't exceed that limit yet. There is also a 45 days on the main roster limit too. Not sure about that but I'd suspect he was still a rookie coming into the year.
I coulda’ sworn I read somewhere that he was no longer eligible - of course, I huff a lot of pool chemicals and radiator fluids.

Keeping him and drake is making the offseason look better. Now if Olson and Riley will rake...
Also considering Snit is managing. Heck of a miracle.
So Elder got optioned to AAA. This would line Strider up to pitch the first game of the Nats series on the 20th and have an extra pen guy until then.
I think I'd rather have Elder at #5 and put Holmes in the pen. And they may ultimately do that once Elder is able to be called back up and this is just a timing thing for Strider to get back into the rotation.

Should have won yesterday too.
