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

    The Braves are about to hand this guy his signature moment to win RoY.

    Grading Waldrep's Stuff

    Yes, as usual your attempt at arguing for no real season leads to you being wrong. Nobody has ever said it was a shitty pitch. The split is not a remarkable pitch. When it is paired with the cutter and the sinker and the breaking ball the results have been impressive. If that’s too nuanced...

    Grading Waldrep's Stuff

    A pitch that is primarily thrown with 2 strikes will have better results than a pitch thrown early in the count, or when behind in the count. The data very clearly shows how much the split moves compared to other splits thrown by other MLB pitchers. That data is objective and irrefutable, and...

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

    It's weird, but the addition of Kim at SS and Fraley for the bench plus the emergence of Waldrep actually has me excited already for 2026. So I watch the games with this odd desire for them to lose, but for guys like Kim, Waldrep and Munoz to do well.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    Needless to say Munoz is much more interesting than Harris.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    MLB hitters didn’t seem that confused. Couple rockets for outs.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    Harris has an odd arm action from a low slot. Maybe that has something to do with his early success.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    The sinker is getting 17-19” of arm side movement, so let’s call it 18”. That would rank in the top 25 out of 423 MLB sinkers, and it’s in the upper 90s. It may be a special pitch.

    That Munoz fastball might be interesting.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    If Fraley is the replacement for Ozuna's bat AA failed. Period. He is an excellent bench option though.

    NL Rookie of the Year Watch

    Snit can get his 50th year in a position other than MLB manager.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    I'm not sure why they would spend on a RHH CFer when they've never spent on a RHH OFer and Eli White exists. Ozuna has a real chance at being back. He is probably something like Plan D.

    GDT 9-2: Braves at Cubs; No DRAKE

    The 3D chess move is to play Kim every single day, run him into the ground, and get him injured, which will force him to take his option. That's literally the only thing Twit is competent at doing, so this should work out well.

    Hayden Harris Time! And a couple of other moves.

    He leaves 96% of his runners on base, which is crazy. He has a FB/HR rate of 3.4% which is also crazy. He allows a BABIP of .220, again crazy. Dude is striking out like 14 per 9, so something real is happening. Can't wait to see him.

    Hayden Harris Time! And a couple of other moves.

    Statcast says Harris throws a 4 seamer 70% of the time, and it's 91.5 mph with 13" of rise (almost 3" less than MLB average). I stopped looking at his stuff. I'm sure we will get to hear Glavine talk nonstop about some nonsense when he's pitching. I'll have to mute it.

    NL Rookie of the Year Watch

    The only player with a QO attached even worth considering will be Tucker. While we all love to speculate about him being a possibility, he almost certainly isn't. So assuming Tucker isn't an option, I would not be in favor of signing anyone with a QO attached.

    NL Rookie of the Year Watch

    I can think of a few: Snit guiding a 100 win team to 95 wins and an early October exit due to tactical incompetence A Snit disciple doing the exact same thing The below slot draft pick at the top of Round 1 And most of all.... Acuna being an idiot by wasting ABS challenges contesting...

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    This is a very good take, and explains how the Braves can have a bench that's actually competent in 2026. Murphy/Baldwin Allen/Brujan Fraley/White Nacho That's quite a few options to build a decent 4 man bench. The problem, of course, is when several of those guys are slated to be everyday...

    Quick, post his stats the last 15 days. It will help you keep being argumentative for no particular reason.

    GDT 9-1: Braves at Cubs

    The Harris resurrection was short lived. I’m shocked raising his hands didn’t make him suddenly understand the zone.
