    GDT 9-15: Braves in DC

    Curve looks really good. Fastball command still spotty, with too many waste pitches. But the overall performance has been strong, for sure.

    Diet is obviously the most impactful way to lose weight. The mistake so many people make is exercising without cutting calories—in fact, many add to their caloric intake, when they begin exercising in earnest, not realizing how hard it is to actually burn calories / operate at a caloric deficit...

    Sean Murphy with a hip tear

    Doubtful—he’s fasting.

    GDT 9-8: Dansby is Home

    Ozzie was never going anywhere—but the chatter was nevertheless annoying.

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    Gil hit another HR (his 7th) and Southisene scored his first walk (and was also 1-4) in Augusta’s 10-0 drubbing of Kannapolis. Meanwhile, Isaiah Drake will finish his season batting over .300 at Rome (with a .346 OBP)—though his .682 OPS shows he still has big strides to make in the power...

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    Per MLBTR, a lot of decent talent expected to be posted this offseason. Hopefully the Kim pick-up is a canary in the coal mine, and the Braves are ready to take the East Asian market seriously. I was a huge advocate of signing Imanaga, and that looks like it was a big miss, in retrospect. A...

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    Same caveat I posted above applies. He should be in the FCL, but the reconfiguration of leagues and attendant schedules means he’s in A-ball (because the other options is just working out at the Braves’ complex). So a huge grain of salt needs to accompany his 2025 numbers. He’s just getting...

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    I’m not putting too much stock into the first-season numbers, good or bad, for the recent draftees—especially since they’re all probably a level too high, with the FCL schedule idiocy. I’m encouraged that he’s holding his own and hitting with some power; hoping the K-rate normalizes next year...

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    May really have something with him. Excited to watch him, Lodise, Miller, Southisene, and Williams battle for MIF PAs in 2026. And nice to have more than just Ambioris Tavarez to follow up-the-middle in the minors (though he’s been decent since the fail upwards to AA).

    GDT 9/3/25 Braves @ Cubs - ROY Contenders Battle

    I only do it to snoop on our posters—our Fearless Leader has made me his Minister of Information (ie Nanny State Czar). I noticed Matt can’t vent enough vitriol here, so has taken to further airing his grievances on BatteryPower. Methinks a one-week ban is coming down for him soon.

    Need to know Snitker won’t be managing in 2026 to really get hyped for next year.

    GDT 9/3/25 Braves @ Cubs - ROY Contenders Battle

    It is. The Braves were pacing for zero homers from the SS position until Kim joined the effort.

    Yea any QO action would be after next year, because of the team change this season.

    Nice double for Harris on a tough sweeper.

    GDT 9-1: Braves at Cubs

    More on the way, I think. Perhaps reevaluating what makes a system “mediocre”—though obviously depth hasn’t always been there.

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    The whole point is the Rays didn’t want to pay him $16m in 2026. They put him on waivers to shed that likely salary. From the Braves’ perspective, it’s not that strange: he’s a very good defensive infielder with strong on-base skills who could outperform his contract just by getting back to...
