Haven't seen a thread so I'll start--and delete if it's a duplicate. Top of 1st summary: Acuña singles to RF Albies flies out Riley Ks swinging. Olson walks. Murphy Ks swinging.

I may as well start this. If one of the regulars wants to overwrite it, feel free. Two quick outs precede a Harper single...take it away everyone.

Don't ask me about the wild cards because there are too many variables but in a 60 game season for the division title, it goes something like this based on this morning's records: Braves: 29-21 Marlins: 26-24 Phillies: 25-25 Magic number to close out the Marlins: Marlins wins (26) + Marlins...

This was prior to Riley's call up and if it's been discussed on these boards I missed it. In any case, I'd be interested in hearing what people think of it--particularly Enscheff as his insights in these matters are well researched and data-based...

Since the end of last season, I've only periodically checked in to this board and I'm going to admit being lazy in not wanting to sort through a number of threads. Has Enscheff weighed in on Philadelphia's off season additions? My non-analytical gut (bad, I know) says they've gotten better...

He notes that the Braves are 17 over .500 against the Marlins and Mets but 1 game under .500 against everyone else. Given that the Braves are done with the Fish and only have three more against New York, he likes the Phillies chances. I'm curious on the board's opinions as to how significant...

Use the "eye test," "gut feel,""analytics" whatever. Obviously, key injuries change everything. Here are my unsubstantiated guesses for the next 68 games: Wins: sub .500 the rest of the way. We were leaking oil for the last couple of weeks prior to the break and we're playing a tough...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/yankees-are-mlbs-most-valuable-team-again/ar-AAvLNdJ?ocid=spartandhp Don't know if this is old news or not. To absolutely no ones surprise the Yankees sit at the top of the list followed by the Dodgers, Cubs, Giants and Sawx. The second five includes the...

Okay, I'm trying to drag myself (albeit kicking and screaming) out of the Stone Age/Joe Simpson era in order to be at least moderately conversant in current baseball analytics. In that light, I picked up Keith Law's book and am reading it. Have you read it and what are your thoughts? What are...

Should he be sent back to AAA? Discuss. (Everyone seems to have an opinion; I wanted to see if there's a substantial consensus.)

Does anyone here prefer the script "A" on the cap we're seeing in spring training to the stylized/italicized "A" we've had for the past couple of decades? Is it going to be on our regular season caps? Personally, I don't like what we're currently seeing and hope we go back to the traditional...

The "Misery of the 2016 Season" is now over and I, personally, will not miss it. However, if 2017 shapes up to be equally sucky, we can always revert to "The Abomination of 2017" or something similar.

Don't know if this has been discussed in any previous thread but... Given the way we've played in a bunch of [admittedly meaningless] games in the past couple of months, is there any chance we don't remove the "interim" label from his job title? Under Fredi, it seems like we were...

For all of the well documented shortcomings of Chip and Joe, I still think they're above average both in terms of quality and homerism. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give them about a seven. Based on listening to other broadcast teams, how would you rank them? A few of my observations on that...

Ok, it's been pretty obvious for awhile now that Greg Walker and [forget his name--other guy] aren't getting the job done. Whether it's their fault or not isn't relevant because we have the suckiest offensive stats in the league and basically force our pitchers to give up two or fewer runs to...

As one who served 30 years in the US Army, I'd like to say thank you to the Braves' organization for all they do to recognize, support, and honor all of our servicemen and women as well as military families. In that same light, I'd also like to express my appreciation to the Braves fan base for...

I was watching the Nats/Pirates game last night (back and forth with Braves/Brewers) and was wondering are there any teams you generally root for when they're not playing the Braves? Conversely, which teams do you generally root against? For me, it's: For: Pirates, Cubs Against: Nationals...

A few months ago there was discussion that the Braves may be interested in him. Does anyone know if that's still the case? On the surface, I like the idea of picking up a guy with a power arm and a little bit of attitude. He strikes me as a guy that McDowell could develop. Of course, it...
