    GDT: 08/04 Braves @ Cubs: Return to Maximum Effort

    does anyone have our record in games by starter this year? Be curious to see the impact of games started by our quad A starters. Offense has been so good, not sure how much of a difference it has made, but wondering had it been Fried vs those others if we’d actually have been on track to have a...

    Some Stats for the Off Day

    Acuna to me if fascinating. He is basically objectively a top 2-3 hitter in the game, maybe the best. He hits the ball harder than anyone in the game. He is hitting the ball harder than he ever has before on average and he is having the best year of his career. The K rate is down to shockingly...

    GDT 7/31/23: Braves vs Angels - A TDA day

    That is exactly my point. Why in the playoffs when you never play more than two days in a row and each game can literally swing your odds of your season ending by 50+%, would we sit Murphy who is still just objectively a better player this year. Sitting an elite player one of every three playoff...

    GDT 7/31/23: Braves vs Angels - A TDA day

    That is TD 2 of 3 games, will get Murphy tomorrow and then TD gets the start for the day game Wednesday I'm sure its just keeping Murphy fresh for the long-hall, but does anyone else have any tingling concern that Snit is going to continue to start TD one of every three games in the playoffs...

    Baseball game thread on a Sunday.

    Its not like Murphy is playing 9 out of every 10. The fact that he can't get an AB with the game arguably on the line, after not having played more than 2 days in a row is kind of nuts. Ozuna being hot was great, and obviously want to preserve Murphy, but how is Murphy not getting any abs at DH...

    7/18 GDT: DBacks at Braves

    Acuna has hit >350 in 2 of first 3 months of season. He is "only" at 333 this month. Its not out of this world that Acuna could finish this year at 350 BA.

    7.15.23 GDT - White Sox at Braves

    Olson is just beyond locked-in right now. He is on everything and even his outs feel like they are all fly balls that he basically just missed sending 450 feet

    7.15.23 GDT - White Sox at Braves

    That is nuts what they just said. How does Hilliard have no AB's since May 23rd?? Our bench usage really is just pretty mediocre. No reason he can't spell Harris vs. a tough lefty or give Rosario day off on day game after a night game. I just don't understand how Snit can have a view Murphy...

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

    Anyone have the EV on that Acuna double - felt like one of the harder hit ones I've seen

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

    We could easily end up with 3 guys having 40 bombs if Albies keeps up his pace. Four if Riley can really get hot. Acuna base stealing is just a joke at this point...

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

    Sports are about watching players play. I'm all for load management but the idea that one of the best players in baseball will end up playing 100 games just strikes me as excessive load management when you have a DH. The frustration is that he is not even able to crack the DH and more a...

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

    We are only fans, so no matter how good things are, will find a way to complain about something, so here it goes... As good as Ozuna has been, Murphy is also too good to literally be limited to playing 2 of every 3 games. I know we are talking true first world problems, and he was "coming off...

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

    This season may start to have some shades of Sosa McGwire as it relates to Acuna and Ohtani just shattering records and doing things never done before. The cool thing is we host them end of July. We could be looking at 40-80 for Acuna and Ohtani 50 bombs, with dominant pitching, etc. Pretty nuts...

    GDT: 6/26/23 - Early Ass Game Thread

    Is Yates steadily becoming dominant again? Granted foul ball homer in this one, but the K rates for him going way up and the walk rates seem to be going down

    GDT 6/8: Strider, Brooms, and a Shovel of Dirt: Throw it Again

    Murphy (aka a top 5 player in baseball) is basically sitting 1 of every 3 games, even when circled around days-off and even if all three night games. I know a catcher needs to sit at least 1 of every 5 generally, but that is still a 30 game delta in pace between the two and 2 of every 3 implies...

    GDT 6-4: The Return of the THING CALLED SOROKA.

    Poor base running although in his defense there is no other park where that ball isn't either a homer or caught at that height and level of deepness hit...still poor base running but it really felt like either out or caught

    GDT 5/28/23: Braves vs Philthies - Putting it on the line

    Funny I literally don't have a single post complaining about other guys not being rested, albeit I do agree with others that Snit is horrendous at it. Case and point, no reason Acuna shouldn't get a single day off to continue to at least monitor over working him. The Murphy one is different. We...

    GDT 5/28/23: Braves vs Philthies - Putting it on the line

    Tonight will be telling from a line-up perspective. Murphy aka a top 10 player in baseball this year is currently not able to get more than 2 starts in a row. He just went 5 of 9 these past two games, AND is also making his first return to his old team. If he can't get a 3rd start in a row...
