    GDT 11/2/21: Braves @ Astros - World Series Game 6

    If there was one concern I had about Acuna it was humility as it seemed everything came easy to him on the ball field. Nothing will humble you like watching your team replace you with cast offs and go win a World Championship. That quote is a testament to his character. Now he needs to...

    If you use the tared chips he makes sense. Has AA traded a legit prospect yet? His preference seems to be to let them play their way to ATL or wither on the vine and sell when their value is pretty much gone.

    I'm not trying to disparage the guy, but I'd want an in depth psych eval on Greinke first. There are so many young arms in that room, I want any vet to be Charlie Morton like in the head when it comes to his craft. No bad habits to be adopted by the kids. I'm also thinking there are so many...

    I would assume First Order of Business, perhaps announced at the parade, would be Freddie's extension. I just can't fathom telling your foundation cornerstone goodbye immediately after winning the World Series. The Braves could pretty easily give him a huge number and just front load it so it...

    My understanding is if either the Braves or Duval reject the option, Duval goes to Arbitration unless the Braves release him.

    To have a really good argument, don't the Braves need one of Ynoa, Wright or Soroka to become an established part of a big 3 with Fried and Anderson. Two out of those three would be awesome. I fear Soroka is the second coming of Steve Avery.

    Happy to clarify. Making all the defensive plays you need, to me, means being at or above replacement level on defense. Dansby has 2 seasons of dWAR above 0.4 (1.6 and 1.4). Blauser had 4 seasons of dWAR above 0.4 (0.6 (twice), 0.9 and 1.4). Blauser played essentially 10 seasons in ATL (1st...

    1. I thought the most interesting part post the final out was Freddie's reaction. He was elated, but he didn't head for the mound. Sort of stood behind it taking it in. Riley bypassed the mound and embraced Freddie. That kind of respect is why Freddie is worth whatever it costs to get him...

    But MLB wouldn't understand. Think about how absurd that is.

    3 kids. 2 C-Sections and an adoption. No late night driving to the hospital. No all night delivery issues. 18 years later, my wife still blames kid 1 for flipping the Thursday before a Friday due date. "He's always wanted things his way."

    Exactly my reaction. I was prepared to slam him. He has no choice for Game 6. Hopefully we don't get to find out whether he'd opt out of Game 7.

    "MLB rules require that Adrianza spend a minimum of one day and a maximum of three on the paternity list, though the latter will not come into play with the season set to conclude in less than 48 hours." Whether he wants to or not, Adrianza MUST abandon his teammates for Game 6 of the World...

    You think we are going to be a laughing stock if we lose the WS game 7? With a team that's largely controlled for the foreseeable future? While we have a string of Division titles? Your going to have to explain the logic there. Who'd be laughing at the Braves? The Mets? The Phillies? The...

    This. The only logical reason for the decisions by Snit in Game 5.

    GDT 10/31/21: Braves vs Astros - World Series Game 5

    The Braves have 12 pitchers on the roster. Max Fired and Ian Anderson were not going to pitch. Kyle Wright likely could not have gone after his work in Game 4. That left 9 pitchers in Snit’s tool kit. He used 5. Davidson, Chavez, Minter, Martin and Smyly. The 4 that didn’t go: Smith...

    Minter is due up third. Are we going to throw away another ab or burn Minter for 1 out?

    If we were told it'd be tied or Braves ahead going to the 4th with Davidson pitching, we'd take it. Agree on it being a bad decision to waste the ab. Let Fried hit if you don't want to waste a real bat.

    Or not. That move tells me Snit wants to set himself up for 6 and 7. If we luck into a lead today... he's not committing to it until much later in the game.

    This. PH this inning. Chavez gets the ball. If he can get to the next pitcher ab with a lead, go to Minter.

    Yep. If you're not up 4-0 he's done. But the more outs he gets the better.
