NL East since 1995 Braves 17 titles 2 WC Phillies 5 titles 1 WC Nats 4 titles 1 WC Mets 2 titles 3 WC Marlins 0 titles 3 WC I think it’s safe to say the Braves own the east.

I expect we will see some strange outfield alignments, especially from teams that have fast athletic outfielders. For example, Would the Braves be bold enough to bring the LFÂ’er to shallow RF and let Harris cover the entire left side of the OF? IÂ’m ok with 2 IF on each side of 2nd. I...

His mustache grades well in the Statcast era and plays up due to the overall lack of quality pitcher mustaches in the league. But, IÂ’m not sure itÂ’s a true 70/80 grade mustache. Is his mustache really on the same level as Gosse Gassage, Dennis Eckersley, or the god of baseball mustaches...

Wow. It’s awesome waking up to a tie for first. Once the Braves shook off the WS hangover they’ve been pretty darn good. Glad they didn’t give up on the season when ESPN gave the WS trophy to the Mets in May. The playoffs are all about momentum. One reason I thinks the 90’s / 00 teams...

Surprised someone hasn’t commented that J-Hey will be available next year and the Braves should take a flier on him.

Is AA trolling the Mets now? Imagine the utter hopelessness of Mets fans if Cano drops a few bombs on them this week.

Wonder if the A’s wish they ask for Harris instead of Pache? That HR was epic. Is it safe to say that Harris’s floor is peak Ender? A cheap 2 to 3 war CF for next 5 years changes the contention window significantly.

I agree. Ozzie is the undisputed leader of the team now.

I don’t like our IF depth. Wish AA could have found an upgrade over Arica. Snit did an ok job of managing the parts and pieces of outfielders last year. Maybe that will continue and the outfield can fake it until Acuna is back. I’m not sure the reason for 3 catchers other than having no...

I'm a old school guy but love the swagger that guys like Acuna and Ozzie have brought to team. I've always thought that some of the Braves past playoff struggles were due to their stuffy professional approach to playing. All those great Bobby Cox teams were awesome in running the marathon of a...

If Jackson is out this year with TJ do the Braves gain another year of control? If he has TJ there is no reason not to cut him since he is a FA at the end of the year. This is a probably a good example of why pitchers should look for extensions early in their careers. Hope Luke gets to...

Dansby will have a career year since he will be a FA at the end of the year. Ranking 22 in SS war isn’t far off the typical year during the Dansby era.

I noticed the Cubs are shifting Heyward to CF. If the Cubs would eat half his salary, he might be a workable option in CF. He probably wouldn't hurt the offense to badly now that the DH is in place. Platoon in LF, Heyward in CF and Acuna in RF. There is shortage of good CF's in baseball...

AA is trying to make the fans forget that he wasn’t able to resign Charlie Culbertson.

I’m interested to see how Freeman’s power stats hold up moving from 81 games a year at hitter friendly Truist park to 81 games at pitcher friendly Dodger Stadium. Plus add in 14 games between SD and SF. I definitely think we could see a noticeable decline in his power this year. It wasn’t all...

Fangraphs did an article within the last week about how getting rid of the shift. Their conclusion is that overall we will notice very little change.

The last time the Jays traded for an A's 3rd baseman it worked out pretty well of the Jay's. The Jay's needed Chapman after losing Siemen IMO. The AL east better watch out for the Jay's They are a solid team. Wonder if the Jay's will extend Chapman.

Could Freeman or Olson fake it in LF? A line up with Acuna, Olson, Freeman, Albies, Riley, Ozuna, and Duvall would score so many runs LF defense wouldn’t matter.

Interesting that only 4 of the 10 are under 30.

I wonder if the 168 million given to Olson was the final contract value offered to Freeman? I like the extension. Yes it has risk but so did signing Freeman. AA is the one of the top 3 GM's in the game. The only weakness the team has right now is the farm system. If he can improve the...
