Duvall has been going year to year via arbitration so each year could have technically been his last. But he will be a free agent after 2022 regardless.

Still time to improve, but Olson is on a 2.7 fWAR pace. This is not what we traded for. Interestingly enough, that's what Olson has been 3 of his 5 years; I threw out his rookie season. If Olson is a 3 war player, we made a huge mistake
fF is on pace for 7.9 fWAR.

Back end of the rotation and OF continues to be the Braves biggest issue. Olson is another guy that seems to be really affected by the dead ball. His HR/FB rate has crashed this year and is half of what it normally is. Double his homeruns and his numbers would look a lot different. MLB once again ****ing the Braves over.
Rizzo is benefiting greatly from the short porch in Yankee Stadium. Good for him though.

Any report on Rosario and soroka?
Nothing new. Soroka still expected after the ASB and I'm guessing Rosario is still on his 8 week timeline.
Hate to say it - especially at the quarter pole - but they're getting to the point that they need to do something a little drastic if they want a chance to compete for the division title again. Doing so certainly isn't necessary, but after last night they're a full 9 games back in the division. On top of that they're behind the Padres, Cardinals, Giants, Diamondbacks, Rockies, and tied with the Marlins in the Wild Card race.
Nothing a hot streak wouldn't fix pretty quickly, but this team seems completely lifeless with no sense of urgency. This group still needs a little time to establish an identity, but those bemoaning the loss of Freeman's clubhouse presence and intangibles are onto something thus far - these guys are just going through the motions, and as things stand right now they're not good enough to beat the other team AND their Manager. That's not to say things aren't going to improve - these guys are better than this - but it's brutally hard to watch them play right now. I switched channels the minute Snitker ran Anderson back out for the 7th on Sunday and the minute Davidson issued his third walk last night. I felt like I knew exactly what was going to happen - and I wasn't wrong. Other than Acuna and Contreras ABs there's nothing to see, and that's not worth 3+ hours of my day.

in fairness, I don’t think anyone in MLB predicted Duvall to regress this much to one of the worst players in all of baseball.
That type of run would easily put us 4-5 games back of the Mets.

4 games back at the break is my goal
Langeliers has a 913 OPS in AAA. His home ballpark has a park factor the same as Coors Field. His road OPS is .660.

So every player involved in the trade sucked
I've got to lay off Olson haha
ETA... usually the crazier my rants on players get, they get hot and make me look foolish. I really want to look foolish on Olson

when Olson goes on a tear and Ronald carries the team again, Snit will look like a genius.
the only thing I will give snit credit for this year is his willingness to send runners. Everything else he manages so conservatively.
Cusick has an ERA of 7.61 in AA and Estes's is 4.93 at A+. Nobody we traded is really killing it yet.

Basically the whole offense outside of a couple of guys have struggled and all at the same time. They’ll get hot and go on a tear just sucks waiting on it. Luckily we have Harris coming at some point so we’ll probably only need 1 good outfielder. With the farm thin what OF is out there that we could eat the contract on?
