What's TDA and Swanson look like in that stat? These are my biggest concerns in our lineup. I feel ozuna and albies will hit, but I'm not so sure about TDA and Swanson, and we need these 2, bad

Swanson has a 370 xWOBA compared to a 280w wOBA.

Poor Riley...

Good deal. Thanks

 

[UNCBlue012]

What an at-bat for Austin

 

[jsebe10]

Good AB son!

 

[thewupk]

And TDA with a xWOBA of 325 compared to a WOBA of 277. So bad luck there too.

 

[Enscheff]

Well, at least Morton is still a stud.

Good. Hopefully they get going soon.

Just gotta find a way to complete game shut teams out

I’m not worried about TdA at all.

Very happy with that signing.

This game exposes some of the Braves short comings this year. No shut down RHRP, shallow bench with Camargo, Jackson and having to use Sandoval as a DH and then replacing him with Kazmar as PR then with Camargo as PH.

Injuries happen which pointed out the bench short comings in this game. Having to use an IFer for starter in OF is not the best idea.

If I remember correctly, the 1992 Braves started 6-10. Still early.

This is what money buys for you folks...guaranteed wins in the 9th...no walks or useless pressure situations.

They're paying Chapman $16M to close. We're paying ours $13M. He's scuffling, but we did try to address the role in the traditional way.

Is Shane Greene that bad that nobody wants him?

we didn't trust him last year. I'm not sure why people wanted him back in the offseason.

The crime was not replacing Melacon. Not the "closer" role but not adding a RH RP that you do trust.

I'm all for Wright, Touki, Wilson, etc being available to be a good RH reliever. But you do need starter depth and Touki is also hurt. RP was cheap enough we should have gotten a RP that can be trusted. Traditional 7th inning type guy.

We could have been fine replacing one of Greene/MM. Not replacing either was and is dumb.

They probably had touki or ynoa pegged for that role. Maybe fried and soroka getting back would solve this issue

I mean Chris Martin is hurt but he was our best reliever last year... hes the very definition of RHRP of the shutdown variety.

It is kinda funny that people are hollering for Greene when everyone groaned when he came in a game last year.
