So how about that Robert Suarez signing? Will he close or Iggy? Share the role? That would be new for the Braves.

I like the depth signings but we need some starting quality something.

I guess I didn't understand quite how this worked. Only the top six picks are lotteried. The only way we couldve been moved lower than 9 would be if 4 or more teams with lower % jumped us. Three did, which means we stay where we would have been classically. The only thing I'm not sure about are...

Our pick in the old system would have been 9 (maybe 8? Not sure what the tiebreaker was).

The nice thing about Dubon is he can play everywhere. That's something we didn't have most of last year, and allows us perhaps to be able to trade Nacho.

Braves' way.

Incorrect incorrect. With on caveat: "Under the CBA, accepting the qualifying offer is akin to signing a major league free agent contract. That means Woodruff cannot be traded without his consent until June 15, 2026."

I dont think a QO'd player can be traded until June 15.

That takes Woodruff off the board. Damn.

Grats to Baldwin! He definitely deserved the award. We were tracking that much of the last 6 weeks and it was fun to speculate on how the voting would go. I'm glad it went that way! I still don't understand how Brown nets the Astros a pick? Does any award finalist net a pick?

I would take 2/34 for Woodruff all day every day.

The Mets had their own pitching injury problems this year as well. I wouldn't really ever hang that on the coach - it's just that all pitchers are ticking time bombs.

Not much to write home about in the AFL. Nacho is doing well but why is he there? Sinnard has been excellent. The rest, meh, at least from looking at the stat sheet. Hackenburg never pitched. The team ERA is 7.19 with a WHIP of 2.00. No wonder they are 6-15. There's 4 games left in the season...

As with everything in playoff baseball, you don't need a great anything, they just need to be great for 15-ish games. Any ballplayer can be great for 15 games.

Hopefully one more day and we can settle this.

Grats to our old friend Kurt Suzuki for getting the Angels manager job. The Braves coaching pipeline seems to go to the Angels.

I'll never forget that first game for him. It seemed like the sky was the limit. Still a very good career and carved out a nice role for himself later in his career.

I guess I'm the only one who never watches sports live - havent in 20 years. The magic of DVR's. I can watch a football or baseball game in an hour. If I time it right I can watch every sporting event I want to, one after another, even if they are playing at the same time.

Didnt two 85 win teams win the World Series tho? Records dont really matter in the playoffs.

The second half of that 68 game stretch was 10-25, which coincided with losing Sale (almost to the game) and Schwelly and Holmes shortly thereafter.
