I’ll take the under on Verdugo, which is still a massive upgrade. That’s depressing.

It's almost like AA stopped paying attention. Did he open a winery or something that's taking up most of his time?

It's a sad state of affairs when a guy likely to post a .600 OPS is a massive upgrade over the previous guy getting everyday reps.

Braves entered the season with playoff odds of 93%. They have now dropped to 60%. Needless to say this season is quickly unraveling.

I'm mostly poking fun at the folks who insisted on arguing semantics over the procedure as if it were at all relevant in terms of risk to the rotation. Strider blew up his elbow twice, and had it rebuilt twice. No matter what folks think they know about the procedures, or what they read about...

But it's going to be OK. This was just a brace, so there's no risk he doesn't recover since it wasn't a 2nd TJ. At least that's what I was assured over and over during the off-season by the medical experts around here.

The issue is that Strider always seemed to struggle when he wasn't 98+. This was always the risk of extending a guy who was already controlled through most of his 20s with 0 guaranteed money. The Braves used to have the option of dumping him and his salary any time they wanted, now they don't...

best trade and extension in the history of the Braves franchise.

Easily the worst offseason in the AA era, and likely the worst offseason since I started watching over 30 years ago.

Good news is this guy can’t throw enough pitches to get the perfect game himself, so it will be an even more rare 4 pitcher perfect game.

Am I the only one who wishes strider threw those 90 pitches tonight in Florida rather than in AAA striking out nobodies?

Is that offensive production???

The Phillies are already asleep due to lack of interest and the Braves still can’t win.

This game has to be Suarez until the bitter end.

This team is brutal to watch.

Small ball doesn’t make sense with a lineup full of average or batter MLB players. It does make sense with a lineup full of .500 OPS guys.

Suicide squeeze!!

Holy shit, there’s the bunt.

It pains me to say it, but can this team maybe just bunt and then hit a fly ball? Is that even a possibility?

5 Ks for castellanos
