GDT 8/18/21: Braves @ Fish - A Shakeup

[CyYoung31]

The ****ing cycle. What a player.

 

[TURBO]

Freeman with a cycle

 

[Runnin]

Welcome back Mr. MVP!

 

[USMA76]

Anyone else remember watching Albert Hall do it back in 1987? I missed both Kotsay's and Freeman's in 2016.

 

[CyYoung31]

I think that was the first cycle that I’ve seen live. The Braves weren’t worth watching religiously in 2016 and late 2008, and I wasn’t born in 1987.

 

[thewupk]

I wonder if Freeman is still sulking about his contract?

 

[Hudson2]

Freeman has to be top 3 in the NL right now for MVP.

I just remember Hall's being a big deal because no Atlanta Brave had ever done it. The Braves certainly were pretty unwatchable in the late 80s too.

The cycle is overrated, but it is still fun when it happens.

Agree completely on both counts. It's often been called "nothing more than an statistical anomaly."

Tatis and Muncy are the leaders. After that there is a bunch of guys in the Votto, Freeman, and Harper range

Acuña would’ve won the MVP this year, wouldn’t he have?

 

[sturg33]

Hope Morton comes back next year

 

[Slippyjms]

Acuña would’ve won the MVP this year, wouldn’t he have?

Easily. He may still end up being the most valuable player on the Braves at the end of the year.

 

[Hudson2]

How is Muncy ahead of Freeman??

 

[thewupk]

How is Muncy ahead of Freeman??

He's been the better player this year.

 

[Hudson2]

He's been the better player this year.

I just don’t see that big of a difference in the numbers.

Sadly in those days that’s what we had to hold on to lol
I remember Hall’s and every other freak moment enduring all those losses as I was born in 80 so the only winning I remember was those early 80’s teams.
Murph was the only reason to watch most of my childhood.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I just don’t see that big of a difference in the numbers.

Muncy has been worth like 1.5 more WAR.

 

[thewupk]

159 wrc+ compared to 135. 4.6 fWAR compared to 3.5. Freemans numbers will go up after tonight but Muncy has been really good this year.
