wait why is albies batting above murphy and harris this might be the last game i watch this season

ozuna for joc pederson?

Maybe he'll see better results if he's out of coors, his home/away splits are interesting (.352 woba at home/.269 away)

my dude this move is connected to the reality that the braves have exactly one major league starter on the roster and still unfortunately have to play 58 more games

Heyward is in the same boat as Kimbrel, hasn't actually retired but isn't in the majors

Oh yeah de la Cruz was pretty close, Williams is slightly worse at 31.4%. Big difference is Williams is a .249 career hitter in the minors and de la Cruz batted around .300 most years. Feel like that's the profile of a guy who's likely not going to hit at all in the majors, but he does have...

Can anyone point me to a successful major league hitter who had strikeout rates similar to Carson's in the minors? Not trying to be snarky, I just genuinely can't think of anyone.

Holmes has been excellent the first time through the order and isn't arbitration eligible until 2028. He'd likely be valuable to the Braves as a reliever if we plan on competing next season.

I wonder if Baez's rebirth would make Detroit willing to trade Kevin McGonigle. He was only just promoted to AA yesterday, but been crushing the ball this year.

You said, and I quote, "not sure I get the “continues to” statement." I showed you his velocity has progressively fallen 1.7 mph over the last 7 seasons. This is 93.3 to 91.6 though. Or is your argument that no decline is significant if it's done in sufficiently small intervals? I'm not...

Since 2019, his fastball velocity each year: 93.3 93.1 93.1 92.9 92.9 92.6 91.6 Hence, "continues." And yeah he's always outpitched his ERA (even this season), but you said you expected him to be a mid-high 3s ERA pitcher for the rest of his contract. I have trouble seeing him do that in his...

His ERA since 2019 is right at 4 and he's trending in the wrong direction. Looks like he's had some bad luck on balls in play this year, but his fastball velocity continues to decline and he's giving up more HR than ever.

Feel like the Braves should have their fingers crossed Minnesota falls off and decides at the deadline because Correa and Pablo Lopez would solve a lot of this team's problems potentially without costing a lot (in terms of prospects).

my favorite lara line is is a game where he struck out 7 with one walk and no HR in 2.1 IP... and also gave up 6 ER

Might be time to move JR Ritchie up a level. He threw a complete game shutout tonight, his third start in a row without giving up an earned run.

Although Didier Fuentes' first start in AA didn't go particularly well, evidently his stuff prompted Fangraphs to upgrade his fastball rating to 70 and move him into the top 100. Their new writeup makes him sound pretty exciting:

or charles thomas' half season that helped get tim hudson

Or name them the Hammers and make the Hank Aaron-era jerseys the default

snakebit hm

or perhaps they would prefer to play in LA and deferring money lets them maximize what they get while playing for the dodgers
