11 wins to go - go get the first one today!!!

I do have all the 40-Man info, but can’t get to it at the moment, sorry. Dealing with some relatively serious health concerns at the moment. Hope to be back to “normal” towards the end of the week or first of next week.

That’s the reason I mentioned it - get rid of ANY payroll questions by taking away any arbitration unknowns.

Wonder if the other rotation extension target wouldn’t be Wright rather than Fried. Make plugging the holes something Alex seems more comfortable with (high-AAV, short-term deals) to also help mitigate risk. If you lock both Wright and Strider up through 2029 with the rest of the core, Alex...

Bearing down on Orlando - my brother has been locking everything down and digging trenches in the yard to help draw the water away all morning.

Muller tomorrow??? Would be on full rest.

5 years/$108 million for Castillo from Seattle. 5 years/$100 million for Musgrove from the Padres. Not sure Fried can ask for more if he wants to stay in Atlanta after the season Berrios has had.

Will be interesting to see how long it is before someone complains that there's already an agreement in place when they notice he's wearing a pair of Braves shorts. (Oops - and shirt and hat.)

They haven't drafted many "world-beaters", but they haven't exactly been awful... 2017 - Pratto (still coming) and Melendez (cornerstone) 2018 - Singer (TOR piece), jury's still out on Kowar/Lynch/Bubich 2019 - Witt (franchise player), Pasquantino (long-term answer at 1B or DH), Marsh (could be...

There was no playoff berth without winning a division title in those days so the huge celebration was similar to just making the playoffs, yes. Fewer teams involved in the postseason, sure, but getting in didn't guarantee you much more back then.

Just for *hits and giggles, let's assume Alex has ~ $55 million (including Morton's $20 million) to go shopping with. While dangerous, I'd pass on ALL the big-ticket SSs including Swanson. We know Grissom isn't going to be Dansby with the glove, but we DON'T know that he won't be good enough...

Yates is currently down with inflammation in the elbow he's had repaired twice and just returned from missing two years trying to get healthy. He needs to be treated the same as Soroka at this point - ANY contribution from him will be a pleasant surprise and a bonus, not a given. Here's to...

A little tough to criticize either of them - especially when you can remember this like it was yesterday... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrn6nO2ddRw

That’s the hope - that he continues to evolve and develop. The point is that the game’s history is littered with TONS of guys who had great stuff that couldn’t.

You use it to get guys off balance. Not recommending he suddenly throws it as often as the slider, but often enough to have it in the back of hitters’ minds. One of the problems he’s had getting deeper into starts is all the foul balls. One way to cut down on those is to throw that change a...

Don't think anyone is particularly worried about being "called out" - there's a legitimate chance he becomes more useful at the back end of games at some point if he doesn't develop a third pitch of some kind. If - and actually more to the point when - he loses a couple ticks off his fastball...

Missed the entire point. Take care of business against the Gnats, and there's almost no way they don't have to come to Atlanta with a ton on the line - and a whole lot of anxiety in the clubhouse.

Hard to believe, but the most important games could well be these three against the Gnats. Take care of business and get some help from the Brewers, and this thing potentially becomes a complete madhouse with the Mutts panicking before they even have to come to Atlanta. If Milwaukee could...

Soroka shelled again. Muller shelled in his last two as well. Good thing you only need 4 SPs during the playoffs.

If you really wanted to get back to having "the bottom feeding the top", I'd move Dansby down and Harris up and balance it throughout. Won't happen this season, but maybe next year. Acuna Harris Riley Olson d'Arnaud/Contreras Ozzie Dansby Grossman/Rosario Grissom Rosario/Grossman
