    NL Rookie of the Year Watch

    It should be if you finish in the top 3 in Rookie of the year voting and it’s a top prospect then you get a first round pick. It would be far more tempting to bring up your prospect early

    GDT 5/17/25: Braves @ Red Sox - It's My Daughter's Birthday

    Wouldn’t mind seeing Ozuna get days off since he is 34 1/2 and played in every game last year. His power hasn’t been the same this year. Same with Olson. Baldwin needs to play every game against righties. He owns them

    Not a fan of Benitez. Dude looks chunky for a shortstop and doesn’t hit well enough for 3rd base. He looks like a Rich man’s Kevin Maitan

    . Starting pitching is almost unwatchable. Bullpen depth is as strong as ever so have 5 starters 3 long men (2-3 inning pitchers and 7 or 8 1-2 man relievers many add 2 more so we can had 3rd catcher and a great late inning defender/ base stealer like Deion. I miss Great late inning basrunners...

    With need a 15 man Pitching staff and many of the starts are asked to pitch in the 6th inning when they are running on fumes. They game has chance a lot in the last 5 years to to pitchers throwing harder every years. Most are only good for 4 in innings maybe 5 with a good lead

    Around Baseball 2024 edition

    Love Contreras and Milwaukee is my second favorite team because a huge part of the Braves great tradition happened in Milwaukee. So if I wasn’t a Braves fan I might be a Brewers fan.

    He should have been in the Hall of Fame a few years ago. He’s basically Ozzie Smith (when it comes to saving runs) with big time Pop

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    I can’t stand Giolito. Career 4.44 FIP home run rates always terrible because of crappy command. 41 dingers allowed last year, lol. I know Nola gave up a lot last year but usually his homer rates are solid and has a much better career

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    Actually 6’6” my bad. He just looks a lot taller because he’s so skinny, lol. His XFIP was around 3.60-3.70 year which was really good in a year where runs went way up.

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    Have him become a 4 inning pitcher then bump it up to 5 in September. The Braves have an incredibly deep bullpen. One of the deepest pens I’ve ever seen. Also, have him go to the fake DL once or twice. I’ve always been a massive fan of his. One of my favorite pitchers ever to watch. That...

    GDT 10/12/23: Braves @ Phillies - NLDS Game 4 Striders Revenge

    Reason why at my age 47, I can’t deal with playoff baseball anymore. It’s way too random. Way too many upsets, especially in 5 game series. It makes the regular season almost pointless. I mean the Dodgers losing to the Diamondbacks and Braves losing to the Phillies, wtf. The ratings for the...

    Official 2023 Playoff Thread

    I disagree. Orioles have a great Pen team ERA is better than Houston, Atlanta and the Dodgers. A couple of very young talented starters (Rodriquez and Bradish) and a deep lineup. Call me crazy but I think they were better than the Astros this year. The Dodgers are a weird team this year...

    Official 2023 Playoff Thread

    Agree. Most teams 3rd starter are garbage this year anyway. Except the Brewers 3rd starter. The average 3rd starter has an FIP in the 4.30-4.70 range.
