    GDT 9/24/24: Braves vs Mets - A Series of Must Wins

    A part of me would like to sit out the rest of the week and see how many wins we need.

    GDT 9/24/24: Braves vs Mets - A Series of Must Wins

    This is basically like being down 3-1 in a seven game series. Gotta win 'em. I can't believe none of these games will be on national TV. Not on TBS tonight, not on MLB Network the next two days. It's basically a play-in series.

    Looking towards 2025

    In addition to not skipping the 5th spot when they could, the Braves also purposefully moved back the rotation with 9 other starts in May, June, and July. The Braves went 4-5 in those games. I know they were trying to save Sale and Lopez but in hindsight I'd love to have perhaps 12 of those...

    GDT 9/19 SALE. Get it done.

    I'm not overly optimistic. As I predicted back in June, the teams floundering below .500 at that point got hot in the second half and we continued to play .500 ball until this point - exactly .500 for the last 114 games. That's not going to get it done in any season. I applaud the Braves for not...

    GDT 8/28/24: Braves @ Twins - Sale on Twinkies

    I did some of this analysis the other day, just trying to pin down the issues in the middle of the season. It all comes down to not scoring enough runs, but to add insult to injury (literally) I counted nine starts that were used ONLY to push the starters back a day. Nine starts where we went...

    GDT 8/28/24: Braves @ Twins - Sale on Twinkies

    As noted in the broadcast, the Braves finally got back to .500 from their 26-13 start. 47-47 in that span. The team is playing well, but my question is why not in May/June when we had a full lineup? In the last 25 days of Acuna in the lineup we went 12-13. 7-10 after that until Harris went down...

    If they can figure out how to excise the blackouts, MLB TV is the way to go. I happened to get it for free this year from Tmobile and it's been great. I'd prefer to watch baseball on my DirecTV because I love scan fast forward, but MLB TV is the next best thing.

    GDT 8/27/24 - Braves @ Twins - Merrifield takes over leadoff

    26-13 against the AL. Losing record against the NL. We now live in some kind of Bizarro universe.

    The Braves really should have their own network. They have a huge region - probably the biggest in the east and probably could afford to prop up their own channel.

    GDT 8/26/24: Bravest @ Twins - Time to crush some Twinkies

    A win while allowing 4+ runs. 9-49 on the season now.

    GDT 8/22/24: Braves vs Nationals - Soler Power's Back On

    We needed one like that. If the Braves played that game exactly the same 100 times, they lose 90 of them. That's baseball.

    If not for the affiliation system, I'd vote for a relegation.

    On yet another gut-punch day that is the 2024 Braves, here's some record tidbits: When Braves allow 4 or more runs: 8-48 5 of those wins came in the first 14 games of the season. When Strider, Lopez, Fried, or Sale start: 43-21 When Morton or Schwelly start: 15-21 When anyone else starts: 8-16

    I thought they got rid of the August waiver system?

    8/9 GDT: Rockies game 1 -

    Just got back from the game. It was an entertaining game and would've been moreso if the team was in a better spot overall. Its the first game I can remember in forever that the Braves won while giving up 4 runs or more. In fact the last time that was accomplished in a 9-inning game was April 14th.

    GDT 8/8- Uncle Charlie … we gonna need a ten spot

    A bad time for the Braves to come to my home. I'm not really looking forward to watching this team live.

    Braves and Reds set to play game in ‘25 at NASCAR’s Bristol

    A big bullseye in right field that says "Hit it here and win the game."

    Trade targets?

    On the bright side, none of my fantasy closers got traded into MR roles.

    Trade targets?

    It would've been nice to get an MI and a SP, but oh well. I'm coming to grips with the idea it's just a down year and not gonna happen.
