GDT 4/14/26: Braves vs Marlins - Roster Back to 26

Could be worse. Look at HOU's run differential. And they're in last place lol.

lol Astros have the most runs scored and most runs allowed. Pitching is straight ass.

Baseball is weird. Atlanta couldn't buy a hit in 2024 and most of 2025. But they lead the league in runs so far. It'll change for sure, but it's weird as hell

I’m still guarded. We continued the best offense in baseball theme from 2023 into 2024… they were lights out the first month before falling off. So I’d like to see it sustained for more than a month and some of the better regulars need to step it up (Riley, Ronnie, Harris).

Smith saying his success stems from working with Chipper in the spring. Can we please make Chipper the hitting coach?

This. Usually the greats aren’t always great teachers, but it seems chipper is the exception to that rule.

Dubon said Chipper helped him too. And what's hilarious is that Chipper himself needed help from his dad a lot through his career.

Why can’t the Mets hit this year? I think they have a Snitker on their offensive staff.

Chipper probably doesn't wanna be full time coach:

Because they let their good hitters go and brought in bums

Chipper has an incredible eye for talent too. He was super early on McCann and Freeman becoming great hitters.

Chipper being around to help as needed probably works better. If he was the full time hitting coach he’d be at risk of being fired. That would be an awkward situation all around.

This.

Won’t argue with that logic

Dubon sa,id Chipper helped him too. And what's hilarious is that Chipper himself needed help from his dad a lot through his career.

Everybody needs a second set of eyes to look at a problem every once and awhile. Even Chipper in his prime

 

[Nerfherders]

Dom Smith has a 1.1 WPA in 14 games.

“We’re going to have to let you go”
“..but I don’t even really work here”
“That’s what makes this so difficult”

Now, about Fat Suarez and Bummer please…..

Karinchak and Diddier called….and asked when this was happening….

 

[bravesfanMatt]

was he on the 26 man? Or just clearing 40 room for methhead?

I just think it’s funny that he elected free agency like he has anywhere else to go. Contracts don’t stack right?

Braves offense is 4th in xwOBA, and 3rd in wOBA, so the hitting is legit.

The Dodgers are simply on another planet offensively though.
