Curious whether anyone here is deep in the weeds on this stuff, particular college. I'm trying to think about how useful a schedule adjusted advanced metric could be in a sport with only 12 games between wildly disparate talent levels in regions that generally only have tangential connections...

Has there been any word or rumor about what this is going to look like in terms of number of rounds? Back to normal? Another stunted one? Something in Between? Or is there no word yet? Do 2020 standings determined the order? (I assume so)

Very small point, but noticed in the recent interview on Athletic with big three that Glavine and Smoltz were very high on him. I feel like I was guilty of it with Fried, but I do think that Wright has suffered from prospect fatigue. If we ever have sports again, I look forward to seeing...

so they don't catch the Dodgers and thus avoid facing the Nats in the Divisional Series?

Prepare yourselves people: Snitker has to be a leading candidate for this award again this season. No one picked the Braves to win the division. Few picked them to make the playoffs. At present they are on schedule to win the division despite a ridiculous parade of injuries and poor...

Feels like about time to start this thread. Top 50 trade deadline candidates per MLBTR: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/top-50-trade-candidates-2019-mlb-trade-deadline.html

Most of you will have seen this but I thought it was an interesting battery of opinions. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/steve-stone-has-a-lot-of-opinions-on-pitching/ there is probably good work on why the extra rest a fifth starter gives you is beneficial. Players probably expect it at this...

Dodgers as a team are the best team in baseball vs. RHP. They are slightly above average vs LHP. I don't see Fried, Touki, Wilson, or Wright to be realistic options to start a playoff game. My level of confidence right now is something like: Folty, Gausman, Sanchez, Teheran, Newcomb. I...

can merge this later if you want, but Tarnok continues to dominate as he gets stretched out: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K Can't remember what the stuff is described as, but starting to look like maybe another one that is heading towards real prospect status based on stat line.

Albies 2B Acuña Jr. LF Freeman 1B Markakis RF Suzuki C Camargo SS Culberson 3B Teheran P Inciarte CF Having trouble with the idea of starting Culberson at 3B. If Camargo is better than Culberson at SS why is Culberson even on the team?

Sitting at 93-94 with a wipeout slider per this observer. https://www.minorleagueball.com/2018/4/12/17228678/atlanta-braves-scouting-report-a-first-look-at-rhp-jasseel-de-la-cruz

Of the Angels per MLBTR tweet.

The Atlanta #Braves selected C Skyler Ewing of the San Francisco Giants in the Triple-A phase of the minor league Rule 5 Draft. Ewing, 25, hit .246 (73-for-297) with 13 home runs and 47 RBI in 88 games for Single-A Augusta last season.

(AAA Portion) from Rangers. Previously claimed by Rangers off waivers from Mariners.

24 YO reliever. Pitched at three levels in Yankees organization last season. Apparently can touch 100. Had a good year last season.

I hope that is to start. I would not want the Braves to do anything like that.

Fellows at Talking Chop got a nice discussion on the record. I think he and Soroka sound like they are good for each other. https://www.talkingchop.com/2017/9/21/16342326/interview-with-top-atlanta-braves-pitching-prospect-kolby-allard
