Even I am guilty of sometimes buying into the spring training stories, but Dodd and Shuster go down as the poster child of don't ever read into spring training results for unproven players. Based off their performance and metrics, you'd have been convinced we had two legit number threes for...

Anyone have a sense on game times for the division series game 1 / 2?

I actually think we are well positioned to sign Acuna again. He is currently making $17mm a year until 2028! That is 5 more seasons. That is a really long time for Acuna to only be making $17mm. Its ironic but the reason will be able to extend him is because of how good the current contract is...

To me we already butchered this so badly. Murphy is the better player and if the better player is slumping, there is no reason we shouldn't have just done what we did for Ozuna and rosario - give him AB's to bust out. Don't get me wrong, Murphy has been bad and that's on him, but it would have...

One of the best Braves seasons ever - and I'm not just talking wins / losses. The records, the excitement, the broader world-series karma still hanging over us from two years ago, wire to wire dominance from the get go, team dominance, individual story lines / records, hopefully the MVP...

That was damn nice. I guess that's why he's got the WAR...

Random point - Arcia ops is basically equal to Swanson but Swanson is listed as 4.9 WAR vs. Arcia 1.9. Had understood the advanced metrics supported Arcia's defense as being good this year. Is Swanson 3 WAR better than Swanson because of defense? baserunning? Gap seems surprising

Not that it really matters, but Harris and Rosario flipped again?

All timer. MVP I might be a homer, but for me I just don't see how you give Betts the MVP over Acuna. The argument for Betts is that he's "arguably" been "slightly" better because of his defensive value, and even in that example its extremely close. You can just as easily argue Acuna has been...

Murphy back to back days... not sure what's going on, my bday was 2 months ago. But great to see - its crunch time and we need him to get going. Really hoping he can take advantage of tonight. Also hoping he isn't too hung over given he presumably viewed today as an off day

Even against a lefty, really just don't think Arcia should ever hit anywhere but 9th - and I love Arcia. But he really should not be hitting 6th ever. Realize his lefty splits have been phenomenal but problem is later in the game

It is definitely possible Murphy is more like a 780+ OPS player. But 780+, with elite defense and 28 years old vs. TD at a 690 OPS, pushing 35 years old and inferior defense still makes this a no brainer. Then there is the hard to quantify point that Murphy has not gotten a chance to "play...

I actually think most casual fans love Acuna. Sure he might have some beef with stubborn players that take offense to his excitement, but l find most casual fans I speak with tend to think he’s great and can see the difference between someone that is a prick in show boating vs someone that truly...

On this off day, I just thought Acuna appreciation deserved its own thread. 25 years old, the best player in baseball, the MVP to come. 8 WAR season and counting. 40 bombs, 68 steals, 337 average. Advanced stats that are even better. This guy is the face of baseball. He is an all timer...

Its amusing to me that on a message board to talk Braves baseball it offends you so much that I am talking about key topics related to Braves baseball. Yes I've continued to pound the table on this one, but the table landscape has also drastically changed. Its gone from being frustrated to...

I'm actually now having PTSD where I'm literally expecting because TD went 1-3 with two walks, that will randomly see him get the two starts in a row tonight... Jokes aside though, we really do need Murphy to bust out. As much sh&t as I'm giving Snit, it doesn't help that Murphy has gone...

I share the same concern. Just look at ozuna, Rosario, etc. those guys felt one step away from being released but got ran out there every day and got it going. I don’t get why Murphy doesn’t get the same treatment. We gave this guy an $80mm extension to sit on the bench? Crazy

TD back in today. It’s a flat out platoon. This will go down as one of the more baffling ones will see What are the odds Murphy starts game one of playoffs? My sense is below 50%, unless front office truly steps in Given they never stepped in, in what’s been an unusually extreme situation for...

Dansby with a 749 ops. Strong WAR of 4.5 given defense but man, 7 year deal for him. Remain thankful we did not go that route.

I'm not worried but we just went like 1-5 in our last 6 games. If it was down to 3 games and we are trying to rest / set up the rotation, it wouldn't be ideal, especially with Cubs ready to go all out when we play them.
