I just want to see him finish strong and look viable for the 2026 rotation. If the team can enter the offseason with Sale/Schwellenbach/Strider as a top-three, Waldrep and Ritchie as legitimate options behind them, and López and (maybe) Holmes as elite swingman types, they can then focus on...

Stephen Kwan, whose .736 OPS this year is worse than Murphy’s .744 OPS? Doesn’t feel like that’s a huge upgrade to me.

Less than ideal for fans (like myself) who live in the western reaches but follow an eastside team.

I know it’s hard to embrace, but I don’t think the Braves should be trying to optimize anything except (a) Drake Baldwin’s ROY candidacy, (b) losses (for better draft position), (c) health of longterm established big-leaguers, and (d) reps for potential 2026 big-league contributors who aren’t...

He’s the worst.

I’m still keeping faith Anthopoulos can salvage his last calendar-year of bad decisions this offseason; he’s earned that with prior performance, and I don’t think he became an idiot overnight. But the deadline inactivity was definitely strike-one (sadly coming after an encouraging draft). Not...

They’ve promoted him very slowly throughout his career. Maybe he’s a rare case of someone they’ve identified as needing slower development. Either way, getting any position-player value from the farm right now would be huge, given the bat-barrenness of the upper minors.

Would not have expected Luke Waddell to be the Braves’ best AAA hitter (by a fair margin) in 2025, but here we are. Maybe they have something in him as a useful future UTIL INF who can actually play SS.

Pitches to the Marlins.

“Bottom five GM” is such chicken-little cap that I wonder why you and your ilk even bother following the team these days.

As an inveterate cynic, my personal Joker transformation into “more optimistic than 80% of this board” has been tough. The only thing tougher has been watching so many posters vie for “coolest/bravest/smartest cynic.” Just because the word has “cy” in it doesn’t mean you get extra time with...

He just remembered how to throw it.

New market inefficiency unlocked.

Wasn’t able to watch—was Waldrep’s start as encouraging as the surface-level stat-line looks?

Marcus Stroman incoming. Hasn’t pitched great this year, obviously, but word is he’d add length to the pitching staff.

Hopefully all the new guys are in the lineups tonight. Rome has a scheduled double-header, so Lodise should get a long first look.

Well I think it’s kind of funny, or I think it’s kind of sad. The dreams we had of trading were the best we’ve ever had. It’s going to a mad season from here on out.

Choked that one away.

Been a long time since I’ve seen a pitching performance this clutch. Clutch lives! Extent daybis!

Dunning was doing his part. But the dumb fuck decided to pull him …
