Obviously you carry the 8 position starters, the big three starting pitchers, and Jackson, Will, Minter, Matzek, and Rich Rod. That’s 16. Obvious bench players: Joc, Heredia, Adrianza and a backup catcher (is Vogt healthy?) Potential bench players: Arcia, another backup catcher, maybe Pache...

I was just watching the MLB network and Christopher Russo was congratulating the Yankees for hosting the wild card game?! But the way I see it, with three games left, the Yankees are 2 games up on the Mariners and Red Sox, and three up on the Jays. The Yankees have three games left with the...

Will Smith in the last month. 12 innings, 1.08 WHIP, 2.25 ERA, 12K/9. Perfect? No. "Downright terrible"? Not by a long shot. In August he probably was "downright terrible".

Craig Kimbrel. The guy with the 4.80 ERA since being traded to the Chisox. 1 for 4 in save opportunities. 10 walks and 5 homers allowed in 22 innings.

Funny how things change. When we faced the D-Backs in April, we entered the series with an 8-10 record and the Snakes were 9-10. We won the first game of that series 5-4 and, of course, they swept the DH after game 2 was rained out. Point is, I guess, is that other than the 7 inning no-no...

Will Smith's appearance tonight was his 5th since July 10. Monday is a day off. He has also pitched well this season on day two of consecutive games. It was also Rich Rod's fifth appearance since the 10th. He hadn't pitched at all in 8 days. No problem at all with either pitching tonight.

All true. Not to mention he would have his visa revoked, if he is not a U.S. Citizen

We were at the Rome game yesterday and Harris did not play. Is he injured? Did he get promoted?

Thanks everyone for the input. To clarify, the 84.99 package includes a plethora of channels, but its the cheapest one that included the Braves' outlets. And the house in which we are living temporarily only has streaming--no dish or cable, and we will be out of here by Mid-May. The price is...

Long story short: My wife and I won't be moving into our new house until May, and our temporary quarters don't have cable or any streaming services that carry Braves games. A quick search shows that AT&T TV carries Bally Sports and Bally Sports Southeast in their 84.99 per month (no contract)...

Be careful of "new case" stats. All states and locales have consistently rising testing availability, which will, of course, increase the raw numbers of positive cases. The critical stats are percentages of positive tests and, even more so, hospitalizations.

Are any of those guys better options than Riley? Not sure what his wOBA splits are (it was at .307 overall), but he hit .262/.338/.646 against lefties vs. .215/.260/.416 vs. righties. BTW, his steamer projects his wOBA to be .324 in 2020, FWIW.

Once they PR Hamilton for Donaldson, Hech had to come in anyway.

I don’t think Avery was ever as good as Glavine. I recall Bill James writing at the height of Averys success that he would not be able to sustain it due to his very low K rate.

Bwar of 2b thru age 22 seasons In MLB history. 1) Alomar 2) Eddie Collins 3) Ozzie

Good call.

He played late in the game yesterday. Made a good catch in RF. His family was seated behind us. I think he grounded out in his only AB.

I was at the Rome game yesterday. The Shewmake homer was an opposite field shot down the LF line. Mejia threw 7 shutout innings, allowing (I think) three hits and no walks. UPDATE: Mejia allowed 4 hits with 6Ks, and 0 BBs. Also, Shewmake doesn't look he's 190. He's pretty thin.

Ryan is an interesting case. Yes, a hall of famer. When he was on he was almost literally unhittable. But he does have 292 losses a winning percentage only slightly over . 500. I agree that win percentage is not an end-all stat. BUT it becomes more relevant the larger the sample size. Bill...

Or not
