    7.15.23 GDT - White Sox at Braves

    Yes. And it’s all the same ****. More or less middle. Some middle middle. Every time he struggles it’s location

    Ok . Lots of guys didn’t make mlb. But we got some studs. Honestly it is odd that we do not have one of our thousand arms that failed and was then a relief pitcher. Lucas sims could count as one I guess. Studs. Solid back end or nothing

    This seems to be the way for AA. He may go pitcher the next two picks. College arms with fastball characteristics they like. Hopefully save some money on two and three. Doubt they are targeting anyone. But will want to go over slot for hs kids late. Harris and ajss rapid rise a selling...

    3000 rpm slider , 700 rpm split and mid 90s fastball…I get it.

    It’s predictable that we went college pitcher early. We probably do it with 2 of the first 3 picks. I’m hungry for some bats to follow too, but they’ve been right. The thing I like is that this guy isn’t someone who had a velocity bump late. He’s got stuff no doubt. Has a special pitch but is...

    Same **** as ajss It is a low spin rate so stats don’t like it. Low spin rates have more movement than high spin rates . Problem is it it way harder to command

    Agree. We can fight about who gets credit for what player. And we do... But even under AA only there have been some big wins drafting. I was not excited about the 2020 all college, almost all pitcher draft. Looks great now.

    I will think they will take a college pitcher first until the end of time, or until I see otherwise. That just seems to be the plan. College pitching early and then position guys later. Lots of college pitcher senior signs.

    GDT 7/4/23: Braves @ Guardians - This is our Independence Day!!!

    They may care more about saving pen innings than winning this game. 5 innings and 3 runs is a solid 5th starter start imo.

    GDT 7/3/23: Braves @ Guardians - The NL All-Stars take the field

    I don't believe AA cares about winning a million games, I think he just wants to win the division. He's showing this with his pitching choices lately. I wonder if he'll bring up Shewmake in 30 days and have him go from 3rd, to SS to 2b for a couple of weeks to give guys a day off.

    GDT- 7/2/2024- Miami Marlins (Alcantara) at Atlanta Braves (Strider)

    Bad strider just throws it down the middle and hopes his stuff wins. Good slider is on the outer third of the zone. Really bad strider seems to be when he realized he is bad strider and he slows down the velocity trying to control it better.

    Maybe the Braves are special to only have traded away one or two particularly relevant players in 30 years but IÂ’d guess that there are more teams in that boat than youÂ’d think. The Tex trade was from surplus and to have a few contribute to a contender for a little bit of time smarted for...

    [The Tex deal is the most overwrought thing in bravesdom but it’s the exception. On balance I wager most clubs can say they have t give away that much, because prospects are often useless. Ask the padres. People give up significant future pieces all the time. I think you are just wrong...

    Texiara deal? Smoltz from Detroit? Most met trades? Max fried for Justin upton? People give up significant future pieces all the time.

    GDT 6/28/23: Braves @ Twinkies - Powerful Ass Lineup for Allard

    When we get up, AA loves to get his 7 man rotations going. AA is going to try and get to the all star break with this 7 man rotation to set up for the playoffs.
