Ok boomer

If you had said GenX then you would be correct

We beat the best team in the NL. So does that now make us the best?

Only after we sweep.

Would you trust Will Smith in the 9th inning of a playoff game?

No, I'd rather see others, especially the way they're pitching, but I don't want to move Smith and then see someone else struggle. I'd rather Smith struggle and get by on guile the way he does, or better yet, start locating his fb a little better.

If the WC match up (reds vs dodgers) stays the same, the reds have the best ops vs rhp in baseball. I so much wanna see the dodgers get bounced in the WC even though I think they win the west

That’s definitely the ideal scenario I’m rooting for. But I bet the Dodgers pass the Giants before the season is over.

Soler is -0.7 fWAR. This is hard to believe. Since joining the braves, here's his slash line: .250/.384/.513

 

[msstate7]

According to fangraphs, wasn't our division chance 5% at the deadline? Right now, it's 88.4%

 

[drewdat]

He may be -0.7 fWAR, but he's +52 sCORE

Scorin' runs, baby

It’s not hard to believe. Before July, he was awful, and didn’t play defense. His numbers are still down because of how bad he was in the first half.

All he needs is a couple of big hits a week and he's fine. Love the power we've got now.

He had a .340+ xwOBA when we got him. Think AA saw he was pretty unlucky

 

[Runnin]

I'm ready.

Man, we could be pretty nasty in September with our rotation if we went Morton, fried, Anderson, ynoa, smyly (2 times thru)/touki follow

IMO Soler is currently leading the race for 2022 DH.

Soler is what we expected from Ozuna, Joc is the LHH we all wanted all off-season, and Duvall is the RHH the bench needed all off-season.

I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing this whole OF back at reasonable rates.

This. Bring all 3 back along with Freeman and Morton. Add Acuna in there and maybe Soroka and we win the East again.

Obviously. I’m just saying it’s not hard to believe that he’s been worth negative WAR.

He was at -1.0 prior to the trade. He’s been worth 0.3 filling in for our lost superstar.
