Luke Williams dove for a ball and came up 3’ short.

First pitch of the game and we already need ABS.

This is the correct take on the situation. Snit always had negative tactical value, but he supposedly offset it with "leadership" value. Now he's purely negative. The only way letting Weiss or Perez take over is if the players truly dislike Snit at the helm, and removing him motivates them to...

Is there any protective gear Acuna isn’t wearing while batting?

This is absolutely correct. Ride it out and make a real change for 2026.

Look at that, pinch hitting for your worst hitter in the 7th.

The Allen PA would have been a good time to guarantee Baldwin a PA with the platoon advantage.

Albies has the same crappy approach as always, but now he's not hitting the ball hard enough to even come close to making up for it. He hasn't hit a ball over 107.2 mph. His average EV is a career low. Hard hit rate as bad as 2022. ISO at a career low. He's 28 so unlikely to be declining. The...

In terms of fWAR by position the Braves are currently ranked: C - #4 1B - #7 2B - #18 3B - #10 SS - #21 LF - #24 CF - #22 RF - #17 DH - #6 Considering Profar will be given a chance when he comes back, Harris/Acuna aren’t going anywhere, and Verdugo/White/Kelenic can make up a decent bench...

Does anyone know the velocity on Acuna’s throw last night?

Why in the hell do you send him with 1 out and Ozuna on deck?

I’ll gladly put my track record of evaluating pitchers against anyone. Waldrep did not have good pitches, period. If he’s made improvements the data will show it. If he’s improved that’s excellent.

Did the SP have reverse splits?

Acuna playing at 80% effort for 6 innings a game every other day improves this team. He very clearly doesn’t need to shake off any rust at AAA. Any PA he takes should be for the Atlanta Braves, especially considering the other options on the roster. If he’s going to get hurt playing baseball...

We’ve seen strider tend to struggle at 95 historically. If he can’t get back to 98-99 there’s a good chance he won’t be very effective.

I feel like even if Acuna can only play every other day he should be playing those games at the MLB level. The Stripers don't need a 1.300 OPS bat leading off while the Braves watch Eli White and Verdugo bat leadoff. There is no possible way Acuna doesn't improve this team today, even on a...

Hard to say how much credit goes to drafting, development, or some synergistic combination of the two. So while "the farm" as it pertains to the population of players may be mediocre/bad, there is no denying that "the farm" as it pertains to the machine that produces MLB players is doing...

Well, at least snit has figured out how to get Murphy a PA with the platoon advantage. Now he just has to figure it out with Baldwin.

Worst send of the season.

Fix your ballpark fools.
