This is an interesting place to land. On one hand, Houston is by far the weakest pitching staff and we have a very good offense that does not always fare well with aces. Thus we should pound them. On the other hand, we have never played any of them and that is kind of like they are all...

The question is really not the next game...it is do we trust Morton on 3 days rest. We all would start a normal rest Morton today, but how much less effective do we expect him to be on 3 days rest. I trust normal rest Morton over our bullpen any day. If he is ineffective, we go to a bullpen...

Not sure I like this...

I keep thinking the Riley bubble will burst although he seems to have figured something out since his June slump. I was watching MLB this morning and they said that after June he made an adjustment, advised by his hitting instructor, to lower his hands to shorten his swing. They showed some...

He may never say it publicly but I would bet money he has a personal goal of 50/50. I think he wants to do something to set him apart from anyone in baseball today (or history) to prove he is great. Too much talk about what Soto and Tatis can do for him not want to distinguish himself in a...

Exactly, but I would get behind a Waters, Wright, Riley for Ramirez. I prefer Wilson but I would prefer Cleveland just send him over for spare parts.

Jose Rameriez Michael Harris made Drew Waters expendable and was a propaganda machine to make fans not miss Drew when he is traded...

Drew Waters better watch out then. From the time Acuna started garnering any discussion outside a braves message board, it was about a season + til he made the show. With DH this year in MLB and Harris blowing through A+ & AA, there may be a fight next spring to see if he can pass Waters.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if Shewmake is what KLAW thinks he is, he will be what Swanson is right now. With next year being a big SS FA class, there will be a couple left out of the musical chairs. Maybe AA will finally swing a deal that has a career year Swanson at the center of it...

If you really want something new to whine about...MLB will announce the universal DH on March 15th. Imagine the Braves playing Camargo as our 3B, Riley in LF and Ozuna as DH. That lineup is even worse than we have now.

Soroka & Fried (starters) Wright and Wilson (depth starting) Ynoa, Minter, Jackson, Webb (relieving) Contreras, A. Jackson, Pache, (reserves) Acuna, Albies, Swanson, Riley (starters) All of them came up from the minors within the last few years...that is a lot

If it was 3/54, I would sign him today. I am still holding out that a Ramirez or Chapman type blockbuster is coming (kind of like the JD trade in Toronto when AA was there). I think he is nightly fighting what he thinks is right (big trade) and what the Dodgers told him was right. He is...

I would not trade him, but sending him to the minors or a 6 man rotation would be a great idea. If we assume we are going to have 5 SP all year, we are insane. He is as good of a #6 as we could expect. Good quality and depth is a pretty good thing.

Bauer, Degrom is a pretty intimidating top 2 in a rotation. Almost as much as Fried, Soroka.

I doubt it happens, but my thoughts were that NYM just signed and tendered Matz & Gselman. Neither are solid. With Thor's health, they need depth pitching much more than we do. If they can sign a true CF (Springer) and if they have questions about Conforto resigning, then maybe...

A completely unlikely scenario that I keep thinking about is NYM becasue they have a new owner, they want to make a big splash, they NEED a true CF, their pitching behind Degrom (maybe Thor) is weak. Michael Conforto - has only 1 year left on deal, very good OF that seems to be over injuries...

Ender is worse than Pache in every way.

This is the whole point. No one should argue that Riley has had a better career than Seager, but BR says they will have the same level 2021. I can't help but predict Riley has the better career from this point on. I would hate a Riley for Seager trade. The money would be wasted and not only...

To me, what he needs to work on is his approach at the plate. When he got hot last year, he was taking pitches away to opposite field (also very similar to Swanson). I am not sure if that is a hard approach to learn, but Freeman has to be the best influence in the league with that regard...

For me it the growth projections that still intrigue me. Year 1, swing for the fences but can't layoff the Slider away...figured out and schooled. Year 2, obviously worked on that aspect of pitch recognition, made significant improvements Year 3, don't know what he is working on this...
