    Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

    In reality I think trading for or signing a shortstop is unlikely. I think we can probably sign Dansbu to an affordable contract and I strongly suspect we will.

    It was a greatly reduced charge. The felony went away. It’s a deal but it’s the kind of thing you might take even if you were innocent to avoid the risk of a trial while the cops save face.

    Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

    I don't think trading for a SS makes sense. Dansby could probably be re-signed relatively cheaply for his value, and there are a lot of tier shorstops that are available on the FA market so if you're going to spend a lot it would be the year to do it. I suppose theoretically we could trade...

    Does anyone think Pache or Waters are going to be an MLB starting caliber CF at this point. I know most think Pache has a better chance, but he really wasn't that impressive this year. Duvall can play CF, but defensively he seems below average. I was hoping one of those guys could contribute...

    How Long Is Our Contention Window Set To Remain Open?

    I think our window will last through Acuña and Albies primes here. During those years we can build teams around them although there are some key other pieces. If we can resign Freeman he should be elite for three or four more years and when you combine that with Riley, Fried, Anderson, and...

    Truist Park

    I love the Battery. I go there to eat and watch other events even in the offseason. I've always enjoyed watching the games regardless of which stadium they were at, but Truist is a really cool place to go before the game. I frequently get a room at the Days Inn down the road for parking and...

    It's important to remember that sometimes the biggest earnings bump isn't for the playoff year, but instead results in enthusiasm for the following year. I would project 2022 revenue to improve.

    Nah. We have the back end guys. We need to stick to the plan.

    Sweet. Ozzie did something although if that was on it might have been crushed.

    They really should make an effort to have the best umpires out there in the post season and have the best work behind home plate more often and reward them for it. Mistakes on the base paths are relatively rare and should be correctable.

    Game 5 Pitching Plan?

    I guess the old adage that you can never have too much starting pitching is true. In the Spring it seemed like we had so many options. I never thought weÂ’d be ahead in the World Series looking for Dylan Lee and Tucker Davidson to step up. Yeah I know theyÂ’re bullpen games but stillÂ…

    Game 5 Pitching Plan?

    I like Davidson but he has very little experience and with his injury didn’t even pitch much in the minors this year. Talk about trial by fire

    Game 5 Pitching Plan?

    We can be a little conservative but if we score some early runs we need to do what it takes and put the hammer down.

    I don’t think so. We’ve had some teams in the past that have come up short when they were favored. This team was a heavy under dog and it kind of feels like playing with house money.

    Max would be game 6 and if game 7 is needed Ian. We’re not bringing Max back on short rest. He’s only getting one start and short rest would be too much of an unknown.

    I would be very surprised. He wasn’t that bad but he definitely wasn’t good. I really think the early and middle innings will be some combination of Minter, Chavez, and Smiley. If we see Lee that will probably be a sign things didn’t go well.

    GDT 10/30/21: Braves vs Astros - World Series Game 4

    He got a little unlucky. Altuve’s single was unlucky and there were a few close pitches. It’s just kind of surprising given that he’s barely pitched in the big leagues and was marginal being on the roster. He wasn’t THAT bad though although if Wright hadn’t been sharp it could have gotten away...

    It would be incredible if he’s found something that worked for him. I think the talent has always been there. Charlie was like that. You could always tell he had tools but it took years for him to put it together. Kyle is still fairly young. I guess we’ll see.
