GDT 6/24/25: Braves @ Mets - Are we about to hit our STRIDer?

Nah, we've given you guys Elvis, Oprah, bb king, Jerry rice (GOAT WR), Walter Payton (GOAT rb), and Brett Favre. So, we've given this country blues, rock and roll, afternoon talk shows, greats at football, and a GOAT welfare scammer/qb combo. Per capita, our WAR is strong. Only thing pulling it down is Riley

I’m glad you’re claiming Riley right now. When he gets back one one of his hot streaks, he’ll be a Tennessean again.

It’s wild how deep a hole we dug. This team’s been playing really well lately and they’re still four games under .500. No complaints about the recent play — just crazy to think about, especially with an expected record of 42-36.

Our bad luck and the Phillies good luck is maddening.

8-3 are good.. but this team really needs a 8 or 9 game run to really get back in this. They are going to hit a few bumps here and there (like Miami) so they need a huge run to just keep up with the pack.

Sure, but a stretch of 2 of the best teams in baseball and the angels would be a very nice 8-3

They’re 3 games better than their xWL. Not huge, but they’ve won a lot of close games.

They are 4 games better than their Pythagorean. And their record in 1 run games is pretty astonishing considering how poor their BP has performed.

Phillies are definitely paper tigers.
 
If this team makes the playoffs, I would say that is a bigger surprise than the 2021 team winning the series. The amount of teams the Braves have to get past and the sheer number of under preforming hitters in the lineup makes it almost impossible to mount a comeback. Not to mention the loss of Sale. Hoping this Didi kid is for real and can help.

What I'd say we have in our favor is those guys usually perform better in the 2nd half and they can't get much worse so it's up from here. Profar will add another good bat we just need 1 more or our guys to perform better

I was actually talking with a friend the other day about how Harris suddenly seems to have a plan when he's under pressure. It's almost like he doesn't have time to overthink his approach. This is one of the things that keeps me thinking he’ll be fine...

Or he manages to get fastballs in the zone because they’re going to go after him instead of someone else.
