Heck of a game from Elder.

Bases loaded, no outs. Got us right where they want us.

How atrocious is this umpiring crew?

This team needs to hire a sports psychologist, because this level of suckitude in big situations can’t be explained away by random luck any longer

Acuna could really use a day off. Or at least a game at DH

I just said that in the very same sentence. It would come from players who provide a big surplus in value over Elder/Allen/White etc. I‘d rather have a roster full of above-average players, than a couple of superstars who are completely offset by 5-6 players who aren’t even major leaguers. But...

Odd move. Keep him in the minors, fly him out to SF, and cut him after a scoreless inning?? No one could have been expecting the old Kimbrel. And they‘re now also a reliever short? Or am I misreading this.

The Braves have more holes to fill than money to spend. So they will need to get creative on some deals. I‘m still not clear what other pieces you see that are valuable to teams that the Braves would be willing to part with.

Sigh…you realize they‘d be getting players in return? Obviously, those would have to be absolute impact player to make it worthwhile. Not all prospects are 18 year olds in A ball. If trading Sale allows them to fill 2-3 holes, I say go for it. Otherwise, hang on to him. You don’t need to...

The 22 and 23 teams obviously shouldn’t and wouldn’t. The 2025 Braves are a fringe playoff candidate if things break right the rest of the way. They are a contender by definition only…realistically, they have no shot of winning any hardware. There’s simply too many holes in the roster. And yes...

Who said anything about dumping Sale?? Lol… The Braves don’t have to trade him. But they have to legitimately listen to offers. And pull the trigger if they get blown away. If the Braves had a top-5 farm with a bunch of talented but expendable prospects, we wouldn’t have this discussion. Since...

I explained my reasoning in the post above. This may be our only chance to get a really big haul for Sale. And the chance that he'll be a difference-maker in the playoffs for the Braves are extremely slim - either because they don't make it, make it but are uncompetitive, or because he can't...

LF isn't really a need (yet)...like it or not, the Braves have to see what they got in Profar. Biggest needs - in my opinion - are SS (Allen is fine as a defensive replacement, but they need to find a way to lengthen the lineup), 2B (Ozzie appears to be done as an above-average contributor), a...

I oddly remember this game from the summer of 2001 between the Pirates and Astros. Astros were up 6 runs with 2 out and nobody on in the 9th...the game ended with a Brian Giles walk off grand slam off Billy Wagner. 2001 also had the 12 run comeback from the Indians against the record-breaking...

It sure is the time for one of those closed-door meetings that only get talked about when followed by a win streak

Well, if this isn‘t rock bottom, they‘d have to produce some serious shit to one-up this one. I‘m kind of curious if this shit show of a team can pull it off.

Er, what?? I could hardly think of a more random and inconsequential move they could have made

They said on the broadcast that he‘s already thrown the 10 fastest pitches of his career…and that was in the 4th inning! So this wasn’t his established velo yesterday.

SS clearly didn’t like this board‘s criticism of his 4seamer. So he decided to make the spin rate irrelevant.

And yet they‘re still fooled by offspeed all the time
