He's starting on Tuesday looks like. So I guess we'll see if he's made any improvements. The Braves are so friggin frustrating man. If they don't think very highly of him as a SP option, then why the hell do they continue running him out a SP? Throw him in the Gwinnett pen and try to squeeze...

He can't come back till 9/25 at the earliest. So yeah, he's done this year. As always, I expect the worst and hope for the best in these scenarios.

Sinnard is a guy I wouldn't mind pushing the rest of the season. Get him some looks in AA.

We won less games in 2021 and won the WS. But with Riley out, I will say it was super unlikely we were going to make much noise in the post-season unless we just had some epic pitching performances.

Coming into today, he had the 7th highest K/9 in the NL. 3.81 ERA. 3.90 xFIP. .314 wOBA. Was Charlie Morton a mid rotation pitcher for us in his time here in Atlanta? Because that is pretty close to the type of production that Charlie Morton gave us. But it doesn't matter now. He's going to...

Oops, guess I should proof read a little better. *He continues to rake*

Tornes didn't play unfortunately. But Espinal did and he continues to rake. Gabriel Cesa is doing well also.

If some team values him as a mid rotation pitcher, it's something you have to consider. I find it unlikely he repeats this type of season as a starter. Or 0he simply won't stay healthy.

Hopefully they've finally realized Waldrep isn't a starter and they are converting him to a reliever. Or maybe Waldrep is being flipped in a bigger deal.

Best name in baseball

I can only assume AA was angling for a different move and it didn't work out (like may be Kyle Tucker). There was zero reason to dump Laureano just to sign Profar.

As strange as it is to say, Nick Allen might have a little bit of value as well to a team in need of a SS. The SS market is just pure hot garbage

Brewers would laugh in our face.

It's not really "giving up" on him. I think it's just realizing that he's a 29 year old pitcher who didn't even reach the major until a year ago. His value will never be higher and even if he can manage to stay healthy, he may never replicate this season again. On the other hand, it seems...

With so many teams needing SP help, I can't but think that Holmes would likely bring back a pretty substantial piece.

I didn't say it was ok. I still think cutting Lauerano and trading Soler just to sign Profar to a 3/45 deal is probably the worst mistake of the AA era. It's right up there with not paying Freddie, only to trade valuable prospects for Olson and then give Olson the same contract Freddie was...

Pitcher's are naturally a higher risk to get injured. And Sale Lopez were already at even more of elevated risks given their pretty vast injury histories and Lopez' inning increase in 2024. You are also assuming Fried wouldn't have gotten injured here despite a history of going on the IL...

Foresight or not, it is what it is. Was this years team constructed well enough to absorb a normal amount of injuries and still be one of the best teams in baseball? Probably not. But there is no preparing for losing 4/5 of your rotation for half the season.

Suppose this past off-season, we said screw the luxury tax, we're going for it. Then we resigned Fried, signed Ha-Seong Kim to replace Arcia, and signed the top RP available in Tanner Scott. Suppose we also didn't non tender Lauerano and instead planned to use him in some sort of platoon with...
