    GDT 8-29: Marcell Wants That Cake and Ice Cream

    Acuna can be taken to task for taking unnecessary risks....but WHEN healthy I'll take him over Soto. Like Chipper said...he's the best talent in a Brave uniform probably ever. I ride until I can't with Acuna.

    That's vomit worthy. I'm a falcon fan. You've made the list State.

    GDT 8-29: Marcell Wants That Cake and Ice Cream

    I think should he break down, it should be as a Brave. The system is looking up. I'm not trading him unless MY perceived value would be met. It won't be in my opinion.

    Longtime Braves Scout Roy Clark Has Passed Away

    For sure. His eye for talent and genuine love for what he did was unmatched. The heart issues definitely hits home for me too @Mrs. Meta . RIP Roy. Thanks for your contributions to the game of baseball.

    I wouldn't even say flashy. I just think they have a mold they stick to. Athletic...toolsy...and lately...gamers. Pitching has not been the angst among Brave evaluators. It's been position players. Up until this year, that's still been the case. 21 of the top 30 players were pitchers. I'd say...

    While I agree with that, I think it's more important that he adjusts to the level. The pitching is top 10, the positional players are mid. I finally got to see Southisene (may be the last milb game). I came away with : Quick to the ball. Unsure and a guess hitter but can punish the ball...

    GDT 8/20/25 - Braves vs White Sox - Getting More Waldrep Data

    Lmao. It was a joke. Relax. That being said I'm not trying to convince you of jack. I recognize the data..sequence..tunneling, etc. I don't try to do anything but note what I see. Yes..mostly the MINOR LEAGUE organizations.

    No. You're spot on. I remember the joy his dad had because I was the first one to record his first homerun. I asked his dad at the time what braxton wanted to be. He said the Braves pay for power...but he wanted to be a complete hitter. As I watched him, I saw him perplexed about a strike down...

    Spot on 50. And Braxton was considered a good prospect until...he wasn't. Easy to say he wasn't now, but he was all power no contact. But not enough power results to threaten Mike Hessman. This is why scouting is inexact. I say around 5 scouts his first game in Rome and the terms "raw power,"...

    Not really. It was after the fall league incident where he hit a walk off if I remember....his teammates jumped on him and he injured his foot. But that was the least of his problems. He had shown that he had power potential which is why he was assigned to the fall league in the first place...

    Is the argument about a shitty splitter or the revamped mechanisms allowing him to get to a pitch that can get people out?

    Grading Waldrep's Stuff

    Eh..I don't see semantics. I see people observe the EFFECTIVENESS of a pitch. (Thank you for true data pulls) Elite, crappy or not. A few scouts I know say his pitch (split) is insane. Not that it's otherworldly but that batters can't pick out if he's throwing the split or sinker. On that I'll...
