GDT 9-15: Braves in DC

[mfree80]

Have a night Drake

 

[msstate7]

Drake needs to end this season on an absolute tear

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

And of course Olson Ks. Knew I was right about him

<shaking head>

Drake getting to 20 homers would be a lock. I don't think he hits 4 more the rest of the way but getting back up to .280 is definitely doable.

 

[Hudson2]

We need Horton to $hit the bed tomorrow. Baldwin has a lot more chances than he does to separate himself.

 

[CyYoung31]

lol, AA is a complete moron if this happens. He paid him the rest of this season for no reason

What does it matter?

 

[Super]

What does it matter?

It is a completely irrational opinion. There’s no making sense of it lol

 

[Jaw]

Good day so far for Olson. I wouldn’t go so far to call it very good tho

Genuine laugh out loud. Nicely done.

 

[TURBO]

 

[Hulavol]

Drake’s gettin’ hot = ROY for certain. HRs make highlight reels and sportswriters’ feeds see them…

At the very least, if he does opt out, trading for Kim gives us an edge over other teams by being familiar with the team/city and giving us an earlier chance to negotiate before he does make that decision.

I still find it unlikely anyone gives him more than a 2-3 year deal given he missed most of this season due to a serious injury and he hasn't hit very well in the brief time he has been back.

Olson at 4.5 fWAR and Vlad Jr at 4.3

Olson is officially the best 1B in baseball in the year 2025 according to fWAR and bWAR.

Let us all rejoice this wonderful news.

His bigger concern may be the defense. His offense is creeping back to pre-injury. He was never a good hitter, just an avg hitter with a good glove at SS. In a SSS, his defense is negative now.

So he's had a really good year?

Back issues always tend to linger and especially when you play up the middle.

Ehhhhh

Can't go that far yet. It's just been good.

Finally someone with some sense around here.

 

[Tapate50]

man that Vlad jr contract is gonna be brutal if he’s no more than a 4 war guy.

His defense has to be brutal
